2015

Author jurassictone    Category News     Tags

2015 had its ups and downs, but ended on a high note with an absolutely stonking gig at The Plough Inn on New Year’s Eve.  Kate and Kevin put a lot of work into the preparation and the crowd really entered into the spirit of our Sounds of the Sixites show.  Audience participation was tremendous, even if one over enthusiastic young lady constantly requested “Great Ball Of Fire” in spite of being told by everyone that a 50s tune, great as it is, doesn’t work in a concert of songs from the 60s!

The only tinge of sadness to the evening was that this was Paul’s last gig with Jurassic Rock, as he is now taking an indefinite sabbatical from his music career to help his wife with their new baby, due in February.  Good luck, Paul.

January will be spent auditioning replacement bass players before we start a new gig season afresh.

Happy 2016 to everyone.

Sounds of the Sixties set

Author jurassictone    Category News     Tags

The Sounds of the Sixties set is a new concept for Jurassic Rock.

Although people are welcome to dance if they want to, this set is not simply a number of songs to dance to.  It is a complete show that tells the story of the music of the 1960s from how the scene was set for the music revolution of that decade all the way through to its legacy.

We create a club atmosphere in which the audience can enjoy the music in any way they choose.  It is proving a great success as an exciting alternative to what has become the standard dance format.

If you would like to rejuvenate a rather jaded regular dance format, get in touch and we’ll let you have some ideas so that you can increase attendances and revenue.

The hall was packed for the Sounds of the Sixties Concert held in Clare Town Hall on 7 March.  Everyone had a great time, the crowd was still calling for more at the end and we raised over £2,100 for Breast Cancer Care. All-in-all, an unqualified success.
