Dave Berry at Stamford Corn Exchange Theatre

Date: Sat 25th Feb
Time: 19:30

The Swingin’ Sixties heralded a cultural revolution with Britains youth riding the crest of a powerful new wave of exciting rock and pop music which saw a deluge of fresh young artistes storming the charts. The maelstrom of burgeoning talent produced a number of `one-hit-wonders’ – whilst others with a more sustainable talent stamped an indelible impression on our lives, becoming pop music icons for the future generations. One such is the legendary Dave Berry, the local lad from Sheffield who  celebrates over forty successful years as a pop music icon. 'The young Dave Berry's first hit, ` Memphis Tennessee'.

The Beatles third successive number one hit was slipping down the top twenty charts as the young Dave Berry’s first hit, `Memphis Tennessee’ passed it - going in the opposite direction. The year was 1963, and the young Sheffield singer followed with a string of hits like `The Crying Game’ (1964); `Little Things’ (1965); `Mama’ (1966) and `Strange Effect’ (1965).

For those of you that haven’t seen The Esquire play, then you’ve been missing out on Sheffield’s newest 60's/mod band featuring Joel White on Hammond organ & Keys. Joel has played and toured with some great artists including Pulp, Richard Hawley, Finlay Quay. Performing tracks by Ray Charles, Georgie Fame, Dusty Springfield and Spencer Davis Group to name a few, The Esquire really are the Sound of the 60s.
