Tickets for our CHRISTMAS CONCERT in December will go on sale at the DIAMOND JUBILEE CONCERT on Saturday, June 9. This will be a chart-busting show to get you into the festive spirit!!!

The DIAMOND JUBILEE CONCERT has been selling fast, so please book now or be disappointed -- we think this will be our show of shows!!! We've had some roaring successes, but you ain't seen nothing yet!

This is a four-hour musical extravaganza that will bring back so many wonderful memories of the 60s and 70s -- from Merseybeat to harmony and much, much more -- with original recording stars and some of the finest musicians around.

Please note the early start at 7.30 p.m. because we will be giving you a value-for-money, four sets of music instead of our usual three. At theatres you get just two!

It is now 50 years since Merseybeat exploded on to the international stage and to celebrate this special anniversary we are delighted to present two artists -- BENNY GALLAGHER and BERYL MARSDEN -- with huge links to The Beatles!!!

Plus when VANITY FARE ("Hitchin' A Ride", "Early In The Morning") return to Amersham, you know you're in for a great night. Just think back to our NEW YEAR'S EVE CONCERT on December 31 that many of you are still hailing as our best ever. They will be in top form after completing yet another triumphant Solid Silver Sixties tour of the UK. Amersham is their favourite venue, so they always pull out all the stops to entertain you!

VANITY FARE's very special guest for the night is BENNY GALLAGHER, original vocalist, guitarist and songwriter with McGUINNESS FLINT, who had the worldwide chart-topper "When I'm Dead And Gone" and the smash follow-up "Malt And Barley Blues", and GALLAGHER AND LYLE, the hit-making machine responsible for huge chart successes like "I Wanna Stay With You", "Heart On My Sleeve" and "Breakaway".

BENNY and his friend Graham Lyle were hired as songwriters by The Beatles' Apple Records label and Paul McCartney spotted their talent and got them to pen numbers for the likes of Mary Hopkin of "Those Were The Days" fame. Today, Paul McCartney's school of performing arts in Liverpool has made BENNY a highly revered guardian.

At Amersham we like to bring you the original hit-recording artists, but we also enjoy springing a surprise. Five years ago we brought you New Amen Corner with their "Summer Of Love" hits -- and you've loved them ever since.

Now we present THE SHAKERS -- direct from their residency at Liverpool's internationally famous Cavern Club. This high-octane group will transport you back to the thrilling sounds and images of those glorious Merseybeat days of 1960-64 when The Beatles, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Billy J Kramer and The Dakotas, The Searchers and others took the world by storm.

Joining THE SHAKERS on stage will be original Cavern Club and Beatles tour star BERYL MARSDEN, the girl with the dynamic voice who recorded superb singles like "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)", "Break-A-Way", "What's She Got (That I Ain't Got)" and "Everybody Loves A Lover". No Merseybeat show is complete without Beryl -- she has just starred in the 50th anniversary celebrations of Hamburg's Star Club.

BERYL also found fame as joint lead vocalist with Rod Stewart in the group Shortgun Express that also featured future Fleetwood Mac members Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green.

What a show we've got in store for you!!! Tickets for the DIAMOND JUBILEE CONCERT are £15 and are available from The Record Shop in Amersham (01494-433311) by credit card or in person.
