The Drifters play their classic hits, from 'Under the Boardwalk' to 'Save the Last Dance for Me', at The White Rock Theatre.
The Drifters play The White Rock in Hastings on Thursday 12 November, with the show starting at 7:30pm. It's a name that carries a fair bit of weight — they're one of the longest-serving bands in history, with a catalogue of over 50 hits and worldwide sales topping 214 million singles and 114 million albums. If you've only ever known them from the records, it's worth keeping in mind how much the line-up has shifted since they started. More than 60 different singers have passed through the group, including Clyde McPhatter, Ben E. King, Johnny Moore and Rudy Lewis.
These days the band is led by Tina Treadwell, daughter of original founders George and Faye Treadwell. Under her guidance they've had a bit of a resurgence, with several successful UK tours and their first-ever appearance at London's Royal Albert Hall. The show they're bringing to Hastings runs through a selection of hits from the last 60 years, so it pulls from a long stretch of their history rather than sticking to one era. You'll hear 'Saturday Night at the Movies', 'Under the Boardwalk', 'Come on Over to My Place', 'Kissin' In The Back Row', 'Save the Last Dance for Me' and 'There Goes My First Love', alongside new material. It's a set that mixes the songs most people recognise with the newer stuff they've been working on.
