BYE BYE BABY: A Celebration of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons Saturday June 23, 7.30pm in the Civic Centre, Uckfield. Bye Bye Baby is more than your average tribute band. They deliver a full theatre show covering the journey of the Four Seasons from the very beginning up until the Disco era and the rock and roll hall of fame. In fact a musical journey through the sounds of one of the most successful bands of all time. The show demonstrates the diversity and harmonic sounds as once performed by the great band themselves.
