Tom Jones and the Shades of the 60's comes to the Civic Theatre

A NEW show will brings the sights and sounds of the Sixties to Rotherham next week.

The latest “Shades” show features Dan Chettoe, seen on Britain’s Got Talent wowing the judges with his vocals, as Tom Jones and comes to the Civic Theatre next Tuesday (14).

It follows in the spangled footsteps of Cilla and the Shades of the 60s and the story of Dusty Springfield, Dusty and the Shades of the 60s, both of which have proved big hits in the past two years.

Chettoe will be backed by a live band and the five-piece group The Shades for the show, which features the hits of Dusty Springfield, The Beatles, Da Do Ron Ron, Lulu, The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Gerry and the Pacemakers and Chubby Checker, not to mention Tom Jones’ classics such as Delilah, It’s Not Unusual and What’s New, Pussycat?

With a voice likened to that of Rick Astley, Chettoe is said by Shades creator Matt Brinkler to bring “a youthful charisma and charm to the stage with an incredible voice well beyond his years”.

Brinkler added: “In sharing with us his effortless singing ability and natural stage presence, I think Dan will have audience on their feet as soon as he opens his mouth.”

Tom Jones and The Shades of the 60s brings Jones’ story of an unprecedented rise through the charts to the UK stage, following his transformation from 60s sex symbol to 70s icon, to his career rebirth in the early 2000s.
