NEPTUNE CANTERBURY AW17 LAUNCH EVENT // 9-10 SEP
BYE BYE BABY // 8 SEP
Bye Bye Baby
is more than
your average
tribute band;
they deliver a
full theatre
show covering
the journey of
the Four
Seasons from
the very
beginning up
until the Disco
era and the
‘Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame’. In fact, a musical journey through the sounds of one of
the most successful bands of all time. With slick choreography and the
recognisable falsetto this sets the scene for a great night. The show
demonstrates the diversity and harmonic sounds as once performed
by the great band. Each number has been carefully choreographed,
giving their show a fresh look to the Four Seasons usual copycat version
from the Jersey Boys. They perform 31 numbers in close 4-part harmony,
either complimented by a live 4-piece band or on playback with live
vocals and the music on backing tracks.
7.30pm. Price: £21
