Shake, Rattle & Roll

Shake, Rattle & Roll

Fri 25th March 2022 7:30pm

Following a sellout audience at Two Sisters in September 2021 with their show ‘The Story of Doo-Wop’, vocal group the TestostaTones explored the birth of the Doo-Wop.

Due to popular demand, they will be returning with their sequel show ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’… what happened next!

The show celebrates the music that followed Doo-Wop – Jump Jive and early Rock n Roll and features the very best early rock songs from the 50s which were equal parts electric, exciting and dangerous. The TestostaTones will tell the story of the genre through song, performing seminal songs by classic artists such as Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis Presley, Louis Prima, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis among many others.

ELLY TREE
Straddling the borders of art-folk, pop and world music with a touch of ska, EllY Tree, are EllY (aka Helen Woodbridge) songwriter on vocals, ukulele, banjo and guitar, percussionist extraordinaire Merlyn Bruce and the sublime bass of Andy Heasman who also adds backing vocals.

MISERY GUTZ aka Charlie Law plays songs to help when he’s in a bad mood. By writing songs exploring the parts of the mind we so often keep hidden, his music is like therapy for the modern age. Hailing from Suffolk, UK he plays music inspired by alt-rock influences from across the pond like Wilco and Phoebe Bridgers whilst drawing influence from British 60s/70s folk acts like Nick Drake and John Martyn.

If they can help Catherine Dickens, Caitlin Thomas and John Betjeman find new hope for the future – maybe they can get their mojo back.

With an eclectic mix of live music, poetry and humour – this will get your Christmas celebrations off to a good start.
