(Dave Monks)
Let the
good times roll again as Dave Monks transports audiences back in time to what
he calls the “Era of Real Music” with his show, The Swinging Sixties.
Monks entertains
superbly in this very well put-together collection of nostalgic and popular
Sixties hits. The show features covers of more than 40 different artists which
include Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, CCR, The Monkees, Cliff Richard,
The Animals and The Bee Gees.
Dave
features with some great lead guitar work as he glides through some of The
Shadows greatest hits, Atlantis and
the ever green Apache.
The
Woodstock Medley, Beatles Medley, and Rock & Roll Medleys are sure to have audiences
reminiscing, particularly those who were around during the great explosive
musical times of the 60’s. The use of harmonica on some of The Beatles songs is
very effective and very much in tune with the whole 60’s vibe. This is a good show
for the whole family.
There
are a couple of comedy songs where the lyrics have been changed for a little
fun and frivolity. During the show Monks reminisces about his teenage years
spent growing up in the 60s which adds a personal touch to the show. He plays
guitar and vocals, entertaining the audience with well-known songs of this
great musical era which was the foundation to his musical career.
