WHEN the 1960’s British Invasion hit worldwide, Herman’s Hermits were one of the biggest groups out of the UK. Their Australian No. 1 hits, ‘Mrs. Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter’ and ‘No milk today’ made the group one of the most popular groups of the day here in Australia. The No. 1s were followed up by eight more top 10 hits including ‘I’m Henry VIII,’ ‘There’s a kind of hush,’ ‘A must to avoid,’ ‘Silhouettes’ and many more songs that cracked the top 20.
The concept of the 6 O’Clock Hop is to put the show on at a more convenient time in the cooler months of August and September at 6pm, where audience members are encouraged to get an early dinner and enjoy a two hour show packed full of hits, in the knowledge they’ll be safely home at a reasonable time.
Promoter Layton Lillas of Showcase Entertainment Group said, “An 8pm show start can mean by the time you watch the show, leave the theatre and drive home, it could be midnight. In August we feel people would rather come and enjoy a night out without it being too late.”
Herman’s Hermits perform in Shepparton at Riverlinks WestSide on September 4. Bookings by phone on 5832 9511 or online at www.riverlinksvenues.com.au
