Returning to Mountbatten’s John Cheverton Centre after a rousing performance in December 2017, concert-goers are sure to be entertained by top Island party band ‘Blonde Bombshell’, when they appear on Thursday 4th July 2019.
At their last performance, the crowd enjoyed a night of 50s, 60s and 70s classics including hits such as ‘Norwegian Wood’ a well known 1965 Lennon McCartney song from their Beatles album Rubber Soul. A popular Lynard Skynyrd number ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ was followed by a selection of Buddy Holly numbers including: ‘Peggy Sue’, ‘Sindy Lou’, ‘Heartbeat’ and ‘Peggy Sue got Married’. Songs released in 1958 included ‘Rave On’, ‘Fools Paradise’, ‘Everyday’ and ‘Don’t Cry on my Shoulder’.
Some of the other covers of songs included ‘Ring of Fire’, ‘Rawhide’ ‘House of the Rising Sun’, ‘Mustang Sally’, ‘It’s not Unusual’ and a number of Elvis songs. The evening closed with Don McLean’s ‘Bye Bye American Pie’.
The concert, which gets underway at 19:30 on Thursday 4th July 2019, is generously sponsored by Red Funnel and is the last in the current series of performances. The programme takes a break in August and is set to return in September. A full line-up is due to be released next month.
