Songs From 1975
Songs From 1975The Honey Sliders are back with a new show! This year they are paying homage to the music from 1975. It was the year Bruce Springsteen broke out with his first hit ‘Born to Run’, Led Zeppelin released their opus Physical Graffiti (featuring the epic ‘Kashmir’), David Bowie reinvented himself with ‘Golden Years’, ‘Fame’, and ‘Young Americans’, Fleetwood Mac tipped the charts with “Rhiannon’, Bob Dylan hit top gear with arguably his best album ‘Blood on the Tracks’, Neil Young released two albums ‘Tonight’s the Night’, and ‘Zuma’, and Willie Nelson had a number one hit with ‘Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain’, John Lennon recorded a timeless version of ‘Stand By Me’, and the list goes on… The Honey Sliders will play all of these songs plus many more, live on stage, in a night to remember. 1975 was also when The Honey Sliders’ band leader Danny Widdicombe was born, so this is like a 50th birthday party for him, and his 30th year of living with leukaemia and all its complications. Danny has been diagnosed and managed to fight off leukaemia three times since his first diagnosis back in 1995 so this is a big milestone for him and his loved ones - and it’s going to be one hell of a celebration! The Honey Sliders have been putting on themed concerts every year since 2013. Over the last twelve years, they have curated 15 different shows including The Beatles’ ‘Rooftop Concert’ and ‘Abbey Road’, The Rolling Stones’ ‘Sticky Fingers’ and ‘Let it Bleed’ with Tim Rogers on vocals, The Band’s ‘The Last Waltz’ with guests such as Bernard Fanning, Troy Cassar-Daley, Jeff Lang and more, Neil Young’s ‘On the Beach’ and ‘Harvest’ as well as ‘Zuma’, and ‘Tonight’s the Night’ and many more. It’s a labour of love and the band pride themselves on the attention to detail they put into working up their favourite music. Come sing along to all these classic tunes from ’75!

Reformed again only in 06, they pummelled their way right back through with even more fury than round 1. No cash grab reunion, no bullshit, just vital hardcore for the ages here in full force. Be there or remain irrelevant.
Seems like you've caught us on an R&R day!
