With Cochran’s legendary guitar riffs, Vincent’s menacingly moody stage presence, Fury’s smouldering looks and soaring vocals, Orbison’s perfect lilting tones and Holly’s good-time anthems, Be Bop A Lula aims to bring the house down.

Tickets cost £21.50.

Next is I Love To Boogie With T.Rextasy on Friday, January 20.

Marc Bolan, with his band T.Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic stars of the glam rock era.

Ramin said: “I am looking forward to taking our show on the road for an extended run, especially here in the UK. It’s been a few years since I’ve been able to go around the country. These will be the only UK dates before I head off back to Broadway to open the première of Anastasia.”

He continued: “Over the past four years we have organically developed a unique, rootsy sound called ‘broadgrass’, which we are all very excited about.”

Tickets cost £28.50.

Finally, One Night Of Elvis performed by Lee Memphis King, will be on stage on January 28 (7.30pm).
