SHOWADDYWADDY have long been established as Europe’s most successful ever exponents of retro-inspired rock & roll.

Quoted as one of the greatest rock and roll bands in the world, they have lived up to that title for the last four decades.

Formed in the 1970s in Leicester from several local bands, they have sold more than 20 million records and have toured all corners of the world extensively.

The record simply speaks for itself!

23 Top 40 hit singles, including 10 Top 5 hits “Under The Moon of Love,” “When,” “You Got What It Takes,” “3 Steps To Heaven,” “Hey Rock & Roll” and many more, along with 15 massive selling albums (including the Christmas number 1 in 1978).

Now they are bringing their incredible live show, acclaimed the world over, to Eastleigh's Concorde Club tonight (Friday September 2).

Their popularity is also measured by more than 50 Top of the Pops performances, and countless industry awards!

Their Royal Variety performances included one to the delight of the Queen Mother, who actually requested to meet the band post-performance.

The intimacy of the 300-capacity Concorde Club will be a far cry from their bill -topping performance at the prestigious Golden Orpheus World Music Festival where they played before a staggering TV audience of 300 million people – making history in the process by becoming the first western-world band to be screened live in Communist Cuba!

Today demand for Showaddywaddy is strong and they perform around 100 shows a year, which is surely a testament to their outstanding reputation as live artists.

Late 2004 saw the release of the re-mastered “Very Best Of” collection, which helped the band achieve their first Gold Album award for in excess of 20 years, eclipsing all expectations by remaining on the album chart for three months.

On the back of the compilation’s success the boys were asked to record their first album of new material for 15 years, culminating in a classic collection of hit covers originally recorded by their 70′s contemporaries. Released in 2006 on DMG the record, “I Love Rock & Roll” achieved healthy worldwide sales.

Then 2008 saw the release of the concept album & DVD entitled “The Sun Album,” researched from 9800 original Sun titles in which the band lovingly created ‘the album they always wanted to make,’ achieving a long time ambition in the process by recording at the revered Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Released to amazing Industry and public acclaim the CD/DVD soon became something of a cult classic, continuing to win over a legion of new admirers with its re-release in 2014.

On the back of massive public demand following a succession of sell-out concerts, along with augmenting the line-up with keyboards and additional percussion, the band again took to the road, touring extensively throughout 2012, 2013 & 2014 with a rejuvenated show to celebrate an astonishing forty years of rock ‘n’ roll, featuring two drummers for the first time since the glam days of the 70′s in a non-stop barrage of hits hailed by the media as ‘an adrenaline fuelled nostalgic treat.’

Last year saw the new line-up returning to the studio to celebrate their continued success with a brand new album, coupled with a 40+ date nationwide tour.
