Smooth Sundae summer festival

April's Beatles Day 10 was the most successful Beatles Day ever, raising over 14,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, and will be a very hard act to follow.

So what have the team behind Beatles Day done? They have created Smooth Sundae, a brand new music festival to honour the smoothest music from the 60s era, on Sunday June 14th at the White Rock Theatre, Hastings, in aid of St.Michael's Hospice.

Smooth Sundae runs from 3-10.30pm and will feature the area's top musicians, singers and dancers recreating the fab 60s sounds of Burt Bacharach, Glen Campbell, Cilla Black, Nat King Cole, Doris Day, Sacha Distel, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, Lulu, Sergio Mendes, Matt Monro, Perez, Petula Clark, the Rat Pack, Nina Simone, The Walker Brothers, Jimmy Webb, Andy Williams and a host of other cool artists from the most influential decade in musical history.

Already scheduled to appear are Mike Hatchard, Phil Gill and Phil Hudson, Claire Hamill, the Hastings Stage School, Geoff Sharkey, Adeleine, Strangefruits, Dave Blackman, Katie Lloyd and Steve Furst with his alter-ego, the one and only Lenny Beige.

The whole day promises to be a great 60s party with some of the greatest songs ever recorded. 60s dress is encouraged and the whole family is welcome. Entrance is just 8 for adults, 4 for children and just 20 for a family of two adults and up to three children aged 14 or under.

Come along and enjoy a great party '“ and help raise funds for a great cause.
