This year marks the 51st anniversary of the legendary Woodstock festival which took place from August 15 to 18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's 600 acre dairy farm in the New York town of Bethel. The 'Rolling Stone' magazine listed Woodstock as ‘one of the 50 Moments that changed the history of rock and roll'.
The line-up included 32 acts performing to an audience of over 400,000 young people. Creedence Clearwater Revival was the first act to sign a contract and this persuaded other big acts to follow suit. Performing their second ever concert was Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young who announced ‘This is the second time we’ve ever played in front of people, man. We’re scared s*?@less!’
This 51-year celebration of 'Woodstock' features The Reals, with the talents of Barry Thomson (guitar / vocals), Musical Director Dawn Selby (keyboards / vocals), Mali Sewell (drums / vocals) and Jason Andrew (bass guitar / vocals). The vivacious and super talented Marion Loudon (vocals / percussion) will perform with The Reals for this production. Featured artistes include Santana, Richie Havens, Janis Joplin, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker and many more.
