Not many musical explosions define a generation and change music forever. There was Rock
and Roll in 1956, Beatlemania in 1963, Flower Power in 1967, The birth of Rock in 1970
and
then there was... Punk and New Wave.
Between 1976 and 1979 the music world and popular culture was turned upside down as
bands, musicians and fashion adopted a new and fresh ‘DIY’ approach to making music and
expressing itself. From its birth in New York City to its adolescence in London and onto its
maturity across the globe Punk and New Wave is most definitely the music that defined a
generation.
For the first time all the hits, attitude and fashion are brought to the stage by this incredibly
talented cast of musicians, singers and dancers that will take you on a rollercoaster ride you
will never forget.
Kevin Kennedy, best known for his role as Curly Watts in Coronation Street and his stage career including We Will Rock You and Rock of Ages on the West End, will be lending his extraordinary talents as narrator of the show.
Featuring hits originally performed by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blondie, The Damned,
Ramones, Buzzcocks, Sham 69, The Undertones, Tom Robinson Ba
nd, Ian Dury and The
Blockheads, The Police, The Jam, Generation X, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Pretenders,
Joy Division, The Stranglers, The Rezillos, and many, many more Pretty Vacant

The Story of
Punk and New Wave is
THE
stage show not to be missed
