Now in their 65th anniversary year - The Drifters are back on the road with a line up hand-picked by Tina Treadwell, president of the Treadwell Entertainment Group and owner of The Drifters name.

Tina’s father started the group with Clyde McPhatter and brought in several greats thereafter such as Johnny Moore and Ben E King. Her mother Faye was later responsible for bringing the group to the UK and overseeing hits such as More than a number and Kissin’ in the back row.

After the passing of her parents, it was down to Tina to continue the legacy of The Drifters name.

Tickets for The Drifters’ show in Chesterfield cost £25.20. Call 01246 345222 or go to www.chesterfieldtheatres.co.uk.
