Saturday 7th September 7.30pm- The Rock of Ages Experience. The Rock of Ages Experience are looking forward to appearing at The Memorial Theatre with their uplifting and high energy musical tribute to the smash hit Hollywood film and musical, ‘Rock of Ages’. The idea for this show came about because they had seen the film and loved it, then saw the stage show which they also enjoyed, but of course in the stage show they only play a small section of the songs, and they wanted to hear more of the music.
From this they decided to add in even more iconic hits from the era, so not only do you get songs from the show, but great hits like ‘Living on a Prayer’ ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ ‘Dead Ringer for Love’ ‘You Give Love a Bad Name’ ‘Eye of the Tiger’ ‘Don’t Stop me Now’ ‘I Want it All’ and many more.
The rock classics of the eighties go from strength to strength, as they perform some of the greatest rock songs of the decade. From Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Guns n’ Roses, to Journey, Bryan Adams and so many more – this six-piece band is guaranteed to rock the house to its very foundations ! So if you want a night of rockin’ eighties fun – you’ve got it. Come along and enjoy The Ultimate 80’s Rock Experience! Tickets £21, concessions £20.
