60’S PARTY PACK FOR RHUMBELOW

60s will no doubt let the good times roll again as Dave Monks and Marion Loudon transport audiences back in time to the “Era of Real Music”.

The couple entertain superbly in this very well-put-together collection of nostalgic and popular 60s hits. The show features covers of more than 20 different artists which include, The Beatles, Sony & Cher, Sandie Shaw, Nancy Sinatra, The Monkees, Cliff Richard, Mary Hopkins, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Bee Gees and The Animals just to name a few.

Loudon’s amazing voice, vocal range and versatility never ceases to shine and particularly in songs like My Boy Lollipop, Da Do Ron Ron, These Boots Are Made for Walking, and the ever-green hit House of the Rising Sun.

Monks features with some great lead guitar work as he glides through some of The Shadows greatest hits, Atlantis and the ever green Apache which incidentally has been recently voted as No 1 greatest guitar instrumental of all time.

Their voices blend extremely well together and so they should, as they have performed together all over South Africa including Sun City, Swaziland, Johannesburg and too many corporate events and festivals to mention! They have also been the voices behind many radio adverts and Just for the notebook, Loudon has been the harmonising vocalist on all of Dave Monks’ solo CDs.

The show consists of a wide variety of those great 60s songs plus some very well-thought-out medleys which flow along with great ambiance and will surely have your hands clapping and toes tapping. The Beatles Medley and Rock & Roll Medleys will have you 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. Very clever backing tracks together with Monks & Loudon makes this show a must for the whole family and certainly one not to be missed. 

60s comes alive in this celebration of an entire decade of music which runs from start to finish like clockwork.

CDs on sale at the show:  60’s: Blast from the Past Volume 1 & Volume 2.

60s Party Pack has one performance on September 19, 2021 at 14h00.
