The Bobby Show
A music revue featuring just songs by, and stories about, the various
Bobby singers who come from an overlooked, and often critically looked
down upon period in popular music -the late 50's, through to the early
60's, prior to the British Invasion, and the arrival of The Beatles. Say
Michael, "I think some exciting, well crafted, and memorable music
was produced then, by talented singers, and songwriters, including the
Bobby's, and it definitely had, and still has, a big influence on my performing,
and songwriting career."
The Growing Pains
The great music and songs of the "sixties" comes to life with
this five piece rockin' dance band. The British Invasion, The Beatles,
The Beach Boys and many others make up the repertoire of The Growing Pains.
When Michael and the band perform "a splendid time is guaranteed
for all". Recently The Growing Pains have been exploring 'new' songs
from the 70's to the 90's,always mindful of keeping that 60's energy,and
excitement.
