about this event
"Beyond the Streets of
London –a new music show paying homage to the great UK Folk-pop artists of the late
60’s and early 70’s. A first performance at Cranleigh Arts."
From the Producer and band of the hugely popular ‘Fire and Rain & American Pie’, they now bring you a sequel! This time featuring
Folk-Pop artists of the same era from the UK.
Throughout the swinging sixties and early seventies, artists such as Ralph McTell, Cat Stevens, Lindisfarne, The Seekers, Steeleye Span, Mary Hopkin, Sandy Denny and a few quirky ‘one-hit wonders’ (!) went toe-to-toe in the pop charts with Rock/Pop giants such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. A few of the Beatles’ acoustic-folky songs will also feature in this show, as their influence and inspiration spread throughout all popular music of the time. It promises to be another fascinating, whimsical, sometimes melancholic journey (including projection screen images) back to an extraordinary era of folk singer-songwriting.
Who said nostalgia ain’t what it used to be!
