A night of nostalgia featuring five big names playing hits from half a century ago will light up Buxton Opera House on November 22, 2021.

The three-hour Sensational 60’s Experience show will be headlined by Mike Pender, the original voice and co-founder of The Searchers. Chart-topping The Searchers enjoyed three number one hits – Needles and Pins, Don't Throw Your Love Away and Sweets For My Sweet.

The Trems (all former members of The Tremeloes) will also be performing at the Opera House. The group’s hit include Even The Bad Times Are Good, Do You Love Me?, Call Me Number One, Silence Is Golden.

The Fortunes made their name in 1964 when their hit single Caroline was used as the signature tune for the pirate radio station of the same name. Other classics include Storm In A Teacup, You’ve Got Your Troubles, Freedom Come Freedom Go.

The Dakotas originally got together as a backing group and were largely associated with Billy J. Kramer. Their hits include Little Children, The Cruel Sea, Do You Want To Know A Secret?
