Soul Legends The Drifters Will Come to Parr Hall

Soul legends The Drifters are going back on tour in the UK with a brand-new show performing all their classic hits from the last six decades.

Following the phenomenal success of their 65th anniversary tour this year, the group have added further live shows for 2019, including one night only at Warrington's Parr Hall on Sunday 20 October.

The legendary group has previously been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, been listed among the greatest artists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and has produced an incredible list of hits, including Saturday Night at the Movies, Come on Over to My Place, Stand by Me, Under the Boardwalk and many more.

The new tour's line-up has been hand-picked by The Drifters name owner Tina Treadwell, president of the Treadwell Entertainment Group.

Tina's father started the group with Clyde McPhatter and brought in several greats thereafter such as Johnny Moore and Ben E King.

Her mother Faye was later responsible for bringing the group to the UK and overseeing hits such as You're More Than a Number and Kissin' in the Back Row.

After the passing of her parents, it was down to Tina to continue the legacy of The Drifters name.

Now, in the group's 65th anniversary year, Tina has announced a brand-new show along with further international tours and other projects soon to be announced.

Tina, who previously worked for Disney as an executive producer and casting director, believes this current line-up is one of the best to date and is looking forward to the upcoming concert tour.

She said: "I am very excited that following our 65th anniversary year we have a new show for the fans who we invite to join us in celebrating the incredible and everlasting story of The Drifters."

Tickets go on sale on Friday 28 September at 9am.
