SHOWADDYWADDY have long been established as Europe's most successful ever exponents of retro-inspired rock & roll. The record simply speaks for itself!
15 massive selling albums (including the Christmas number 1 in 1978) An incredible live show - acclaimed the world over! In excess of 50 Top of the Pops performances, and countless Industry awards and the band are 40 years old and have unveiled a 2013 UK tour to celebrate!
Former lead singer Dave Barton still manages the band after handing over vocal duties to Andy Pelos. Dave has also makes his literary debut with his book ‘The Boys of Summer’ charting the rock n roll life in the 1970's, through to the last decade when the heady days of teeny-bop hysteria were long gone.
In this bitter-sweet account Dave Bartram candidly recollects the extraordinary occurrences of 10 weeks in the UK's bucket & spade resorts, which strained every emotion to breaking point!
