The Rockin’ Berries - 14 May 2011

This was a 50^th anniversary concert starring two of the original Berries. Geoff Turton(vocals and guitar)and Chuck Botfield (lead guitar)  together with drummer, Simon Ryland, son of the original saxophonist of the group and Rich Price, a former member of the Move.

They performed with  great energy, melodiousness and a sense of fun, some of their hit records but also a varied programme including 50’s rock and roll and 60’s and 70’s music form Buddy Holly to the Beatles.

The evening was also packed with entertaining anecdotes as the group in their past had performed with the Beatles at Hamburg and toured with the artists such as Gene Pitney, Lulu and Roy Orbison.
