The Bluejays, the UK’s leading vintage Rock ‘n’ Roll band present Rock and Roll Revolution – a major new live theatre tour celebrating the music of the 1950s. The show tours to more than 35 venues across the UK throughout 2018, coming to Worthing’s Pavilion Theatre on Friday 27 July.
The Bluejays formed in 2013 and very quickly became one of the UK’s busiest vintage live acts. First up was a Friday night residency at London’s celebrated but sweaty Troubadour Club (a hotbed for musical talent since the 1950s, playing host to Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon amongst countless others).
Live videos posted to YouTube sparked interest in the band both nationally and internationally and generated a loyal and ever-growing social media following.
Since then, the band has played all over the world in theatres, at festivals, and for private events.
Rock and Roll Revolution premiered in London in April 2017. The show is written and produced by The Bluejays and features more than 40 of the biggest hits of the 1950s performed live onstage. After sold out shows in Essex, Staffordshire, and Yorkshire the band are really excited to be touring their show across the UK.
Dan: “We’re really thrilled to be taking Rock and Roll Revolution on the road. We’re really proud of the show. At the time, the rock ‘n’ roll of the 1950s was considered by some to be ‘the devil’s music’ and a teenage fad. Rock and Roll Revolution shows how far from the truth that is. Artists such as Elvis, Buddy, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Little Richard and the Everly Brothers not only changed popular music forever, they brought about a social change and a freedom of expression
that still resonates in 2018.”
Ollie: “More than anything, we love that we get to play some of the greatest songs ever written night after night. It’s amazing to see groups of young people and those who remember the songs the first time around all up and dancing in the aisles! All fans of music owe a lot to those pioneers of the 50s – we really hope we do them justice!”
Rock and Roll Revolution comes to Worthing’s Pavillion Theatre on Friday 27th July. For more information on tickets, please see the Worthing Theatres website.
