IT WAS a seminal moment in music history: the innovations and inventiveness meant that the tunes created in the 60s endure today. And what better way to celebrate them by hearing them from their creators?

The Sensational 60s Experience is returning to The Hexagon next year, featuring some of the biggest names in the business.

The 2023 show will be an all-new experience and organisers say it will have a feelgood factor that will transport audiences back to the magical decade.

The line-up includes Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. Back in 1966, they were in the charts for 50 weeks out of 52, and their catalogue includes hits such as Bend It, Zabadak and The Legend Of Xanadu.

The Trems features former members of The Tremeloes, will perform hits such as Even The Bad Times Are Good, Do You Love Me, Call Me Number One and Silence Is Golden.

And Mike d’Abo, former frontman of Manfred Mann, helped the group perform hits such as Just Like A Woman, Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James and Mighty Quinn, before going on to his own solo career, which included penning songs such as Build Me Up Buttercup for The Foundations and Handbags & Gladrags, a massive hit for Chris Farlowe.

Birmingham-based band The Fortunes found fame in 1964 with their anthem to pirate radio, Caroline, as well as penning hits such as Storm In A Teacup, You’ve Got Your Troubles, and Freedom Come Freedom Go.

Hippy Hippy Shake, You’re No Good, Good Golly Miss Molly and Don’t Make Me Over are famous songs, and The Swinging Blue Jeans, led by Alan Lovell, were behind them. Also in the line-up are Peter Oakman, Jeff Bannister and Graham Hollingworth.

Completing the very comprehensive bill for the Sensational 60s Show is Vanity Fare.

Formed in 1966, the rockers had hits with I Live For The Sun, Early In The Morning and the worldwide classic, Hitchin A Ride” which scored the band a number one on the Billboard 100 in the United States.

A spokesperson for the show said: “Step back in time to when pop music was at its very best.”

Curtain up is at 7.30pm on Wednesday, March 22. Tickets for the show have just gone on sale, costing £26.50 and £29.50, with groups of 10 or more getting £3 off.
