Put Chip Hawkes together with New Amen Corner and you've got the Show of Shows!. Get ready for a non-stop night of all those wonderful hits from The Tremeloes and Amen Corner plus a whole lot more treasures from the "Summer Of Love" -- one of the hottest periods in pop music.

Chip was the front man and lead singer of The Tremeloes when they had that golden stream of hits in the 60s and early 70s.

"Silence Is Golden", "Here Comes My Baby", "Helule Helule", "Even The Bad Times Are Good", "Suddenly You Love Me", "My Little Lady", "Hello World", "(Call Me) Number One", "Me And My Life", "Yellow River" and on and on goes the list!

Amen Corner were one of the biggest influences on the 60s pop scene to ever come out of Wales. With their own brand of West Coast (Wales) music -- a mixture of mod, psychedelic power pop, heavy horns, swirling Hammond organ and the distinctive voice of Andy Fairweather-Low -- their power house live show made them one of the most exciting bands around at the time.  With million-seller hits like "Bend Me Shape Me", "If Paradise Is Half As Nice", "High In The Sky", "Hello Suzie" and "Gin House", they soon became a household names.

Start your Christmas celebrations with a three-hour plus concert starring those Icons of the 70' Glam Rock, The Rubettes, featuring original lead singer Alan Williams and two other originals in drummer/vocalist John Richardson and bass player/vocalist Mick Clarke.

With their flamboyant Gatsby-style appearance and trademark white caps, The Rubettes stormed to the top of the charts in 1974 with "Sugar Baby Love" and went on to score many other hits around the world like "Juke Box Jive", "Tonight", "I Can Do It", "Foe-Dee-O-Dee", "Little Darling" and "Baby I Know".

The Rubettes special guest will be Julie Felix, one of the greatest artists to come out of the folk-rock/protest era and so often hailed as Britain's answer to Joan Baez.  Julie whose biggest hit was the Paul Simon penned "El Condor Pasa", had her own BBC television series and filled the Royal Albert Hall as a solo artist.

Raffle in aid of Iain Rennie Hospice at Home.
