Herman’s Hermits In Newbury

Relive the golden age of pop with Herman’s Hermits, one of the most successful and beloved bands of the 1960s. With a career that includes meeting Elvis Presley, being supported by The Who on their American tours, and selling over 84 million records worldwide, Herman’s Hermits remain a true icon of British pop music.

Formed in Manchester in 1964, Herman’s Hermits became a defining part of the teenage revolution that transformed modern Britain. Under the guidance of legendary producer Mickie Most, the band shot to international fame with their multi-million-selling No.1 debut hit “I’m Into Something Good”, launching a run of 23 hit records and global chart success.

Today, the band continues to tour to great acclaim, led by original drummer Barry Whitwam, who still brings the music, humour, and unmistakable sound of Herman’s Hermits to audiences of all ages. Their live shows are packed with timeless hits including “Mrs Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” “There’s a Kind of Hush,” and “I’m Into Something Good,” alongside fan favourites that defined a generation.

With multi-million streams and downloads, and hugely successful tours across the UK, USA, Australia, Europe, and beyond, Herman’s Hermits still rank among the most successful popular music acts the UK has ever produced.

A true 60s classic — this is a must-see show for any fan of classic pop. 🎶

Big Country’s Bruce Watson

Big Country founder and guitarist, Bruce Watson, dominated the charts in the 1980s and has never looked back. Alongside singer Stuart Adamson, Watson and co enjoyed hits on both sides of the Atlantic, and became one of the biggest bands of the 1980s. Their debut album, The Crossing, went platinum, the follow-up, Steeltown, went to number one, and Big Country continue to sell-out shows across the UK. 

Guitarist and mainstay Bruce Watson is hitting the road to revive classic hits like Fields Of Fire, Wonderland, Chance, and Look Away, while also reflecting on the band’s remarkable five decades in rock in an evening that combines story and song. With reflections on Stuart Adamson and Live Aid, the Grammies and Kate Bush, The Jam and Pete Townsend, Watson’s tour is not to be missed!
