Join the U.K.s premier Doo-Wop quartet, The Testosta-Tones as they take you on a musical journey detailing the history of the unique and popular genre of Doo-Wop.
During the early 1950s, quartets sung on street corners, in barbershops and churches in a style which became known as Doo-Wop, paving the way for early rock ‘n’ roll. As this new “sound” began to grow in popularity and reach the attention of prominent radio disc jockeys, taking over the billboard charts, the groups moved from the streets into the recording studios and the rest, as they say, was history.
The Story of Doo-Wop is performed as a live “broadcast” from a radio studio and presented by the host for the evening, Chuck Anderson, a fictional radio show disc jockey who “spins the discs” of some of the biggest hits of the genre which will be performed live by The TestostaTones, a group who have sung for the Queen, live on BBC Radio 2 and at some of the most iconic venues in the UK. They have been described as “the missing song from the soundtrack of a Martin Scorcese movie” and will be singing ‘Blue Moon’, ‘Earth Angel’, ‘Runaround Sue’, ‘Teenager in Love’, ‘Why Do Fools Fall in Love’ and ‘In The Still of the Night’, among many others.
Tickets £26.00, £18.00 and £12.00
