Showaddywaddy

Theatre Royal Wakefield, Feb 15

‘The Greatest Rock & Roll Band In The World’ is a bold statement but Showaddywaddy has lived up to that title for the last four decades!

They formed in 1973 following the amalgamation of two groups, Choice and the Golden Hammers, known simply as The Hammers.

This led to an eight-member band, with the unusual feature of having two vocalists, two drummers, two guitarists, and two bassists. They both played at the Fosse Way pub in Leicester and soon discovered shared musical tastes. After playing together in jamming sessions, they joined permanently and Showaddywaddy was born.

The rest as they say is history with the band going on to sell more than 20 million records with tours to all corners of the globe.

The current band is seven strong and made up of Romeo Challenger, Rod Deas, Rob Hewins, Dean Loach, Andy Pelos, Ray Hatfield and Billy Norman

Their live show is dynamic and uplifting featuring all of their biggest hits, many of which reached number one in the pop charts of Europe.
