Showaddywaddy, the eight-piece rock and roll cover band from Leicester, play the Exeter Corn Exchange.
Showaddywaddy are playing the Exeter Corn Exchange on Friday 8 January 2027, with the show starting at 7.30pm and doors opening at 6.45pm. It's a single-act bill, so they're the only name on the poster for the night.
If you're not familiar with them, they're a rock and roll band that formed in Leicester in 1973. They came together from several local groups, including Choise and The Golden Hammers, and grew into an eight-member line-up: two vocalists, two drummers, two bassists and two guitarists. They bill themselves as 'The Greatest Rock & Roll Band In The World' and built their name on cover versions of 1950s US pop songs, dressing as Teddy Boys along the way — a look similar to the American act Sha Na Na.
Their first single, 'Hey Rock 'n' Roll', reached number two in the UK charts in 1974, and they went on to score another 22 UK hits until late 1982. Ten of those reached the Top Ten, and they spent 209 weeks on the chart in total. Their biggest seller, 'Under The Moon Of Love', sold 985,000 copies and was their only UK number one. Among their best-known covers are 'Three Steps To Heaven', 'Heartbeat', 'You Got What It Takes' and 'Blue Moon'.
