The Solid Silver 60s Show has become an institution over the last 26 years, reconfirming that the 60’s are as relevant today as they have ever been. Throughout its history, The Solid Silver 60s Show has had no less than 23 top ten charting artist and bands on its bills. Newsquest Northwest has joined forces with The Sands Centre to promote their competition. Our lucky readers have the chance to win one of three pairs of tickets to see Solid Silver 60s in Carlisle in this easy to enter giveaway.

As usual the mammoth tour spans over four months, covering 57 dates with 68 shows to meet popular demand. Creator and founder of The Solid Silver 60s Show Derek Nicol of Flying Music, when asked how long he intends to tour this iconic brand, answers, “Who knows? I have often been asked this and I always reply that as long as the audiences keep coming and we can promise a great show, we’ll keep delivering.”

The Solid Silver 60s Show features the unforgettable talents of Dave Berry, Chris Farlowe, Wayne Fontana, Terry Sylvester (formerly of The Hollies) all backed by Vanity Fare and very special guests The Merseybeats. This tour is particularly special as it is the first time Terry Sylvester has joined The Solid Silver 60s Show and will be the first time he has toured the UK for 30 years. Terry says, “The line up looks great and I’m looking forward to seeing some old friends I’ve not seen in a long time. Over the last 17 years I’ve done lots of tours of the USA and Canada with Gerry Marsden and Billy J Kramer and they’ve told me how much fun everybody has (on a Solid Silver 60s tour). My old pal Dave Dee used to call me sometimes when he was on the tour and say what a great time he was having. I’m looking forward to being on stage because it’s been over 30 years since I appeared in the UK. Hopefully I’ll get to meet some of the fans as well.”
