(Marion Loudon &
Dave Monks)
Coming to the Rhumbelow Theatre at the Allan Wilson
Shellhole in Pietermaritzburg this weekend is The Swinging Sixties which lets the good times roll again.
Dave Monks & Marion Loudon promise excellent entertainment
in this well-put-together collection of nostalgic and popular Sixties hits. The
show features covers of more than 20 different artists which include The
Beatles, Sony & Cher, The Carpenters, The Crystals, Nancy Sinatra, The
Monkees, Cliff Richard, Credence Clearwater Revival and The Bee Gees.
Loudon’s vocal range and versatility shines particularly in
songs like My Boy Lollipop, These Boots
Are Made for Walking, Da Do Ron Ron and The Carpenters worldwide smash hit Jambalaya, which was actually written in
the 60’s and only became a hit in 1973.
Monks features with some impressive lead guitar work as he
glides through some of The Shadows greatest hits, Atlantis and the evergreen Apache
which has been recently voted as No 1 greatest guitar instrumental of all time.
Monks and Loudon have performed together all over South
Africa including Sun City, Swaziland, Johannesburg and in many corporate events
and festivals. They have also been the voices behind many radio adverts and Loudon
has been the harmonising vocalist on all of Dave Monks solo CDs.
