The Drifters play their classic rock and roll hits live at the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne.
The Drifters are back on tour in the UK, and they're playing the Congress Theatre on Sunday 1 November. It's a set built around the hits that made them: 'Saturday Night at the Movies', 'You're More Than A Number', 'Come on Over to My Place', 'Under the Boardwalk', 'Kissin' In The Back Row' and 'Save The Last Dance For Me'.
They're one of the longest-serving bands in history, and the numbers back that up. They've collated more than 50 hits, selling over 214 million singles and 114 million albums worldwide. Over the decades, more than 60 different singers have passed through the line-up, including Clyde McPhatter, Ben E King, Johnny Moore and Rudy Lewis. The group has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, performed for the President of the United States and was listed among the Greatest Artists of All Time by Rolling Stone.
These days they're under the guidance of Tina Treadwell, daughter of original founders George and Faye Treadwell. Under her, they've seen a resurgence that's taken them into headline arena shows and their first-ever Royal Albert Hall appearance.
