Shakin Stevens tribute tour
The UK's top Shakin Stevens tribute will be in the Costa Blanca for a seven show tour from 18th to 28th. Shaken Stevens, will be supported by Jukebox Legends on the tour which will portray all of the songs made famous by Shaky 30 years ago and, those "shakers" that inspired him. "Shaken Stevens is great" says Peter Day from Jukebox Promotions. "He looks, sounds and moves just like Shaky did back in the 80s and people will be really surprised at how he portrays the original artist". Amongst those that influenced Shaky are Little Richard, Buddy Holly, The Everleys, Eddie Cochran, Marty Wilde, Chuck Berry, Elvis, Cliff, Beach Boys and Dire Straights and many songs from these greats will be in this show too along with some female renditions by Fiona McLean.
This is the first time Shaken Stevens show has been to Spain and it is destined to be a big hit as ticket interest is already high. "It's very exciting to get Shaken Stevens over here and to make the tour another fund raiser for HAH Costa Blanca" says Peter "Shaky was a great star thirty years ago and whilst he is still on the circuit, he has not been hold on to most of his moves due to the effects of the years!! This tribute is the right age to show exactly what Shaky did thirty years ago and that's what he will be doing".
