Showaddywaddy, 'The Greatest Rock & Roll Band In The World', play their Christmas show with their biggest hits and 'Hey Mr. Christmas'.
Showaddywaddy are playing Vaillant Live on Sunday 20 December, their Christmas show coming to Derby just before the holiday break. It's a festive set built around their biggest hits, with their Christmas song Hey Mr. Christmas mixed in.
If you're not familiar with the name, they're a 70s pop band that made a career out of recreating the rock and roll of the 50s. They formed in Leicester in the 1970s from several local bands and became one of the biggest successes of the decade, dominating the British charts with the number one hit Under The Moon Of Love. Since then they've sold more than 20 million records and toured the world. They bill themselves as 'The Greatest Rock & Roll Band In The World', and the set leans into that — the hits they're playing reached number one across Europe.
There's a bit of a change in the line-up this time around. Andy Pelos is on lead vocals, and he's joined by founding member Romeo Challenger, David Graham, Sam Holland, Tom Bull and Ed Handoll. Dave Bartram, the band's long-time frontman, recently stood down as lead singer, though he's still managing the group.
