FRIDAY 15 NOVEMBER, 7.30PM

Nicholas Clark Management & HPAC present Simply Brill

Get ready for a memorable night of rock!

The story begins in The Brill Building – a solitary building in the heart of downtown New York City. How did one single building redefine the musical landscape and become a ‘one stop shop’ hit factory in just a few short years? And how did previously unheard-of teenagers ‘steal’ rock n roll, creating a wave of hits that would be sung by all generations, right across the globe for years to come?

Theatrically presented, Simply Brill – with its dynamic blend of history, humor and heart – takes audiences on a thrilling ride from the humble beginnings of the music business in Tin Pan Alley, through to the dawn of the singer songwriter, via the game-changing explosion of rock ‘n’ roll.

‘Simply Brill’ dramatically retells the birth of iconic songwriters such as Bill Hayley & The Comets, Neil Sedaka, Bobby Darin, Carole King, Cynthia Weil, and Ellie Greenwich. These up and coming teenage songwriters gave voice to an entire generation with hits such as Rock Around The Clock, Splish Splash, Oh Carol, Will You Love Me Tomorrow?, You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, River Deep Mountain High, and Leader of the Pack and more – all sublimely recreated with the vocal brilliance of Amelia, Michaela and Michael and a live 5 piece band.

Join ‘Simply Brill’ for a rollicking homage to some of the most popular songs of the 20th century and the songwriters who made them happen.

FRIDAY 28 FEBRUARY, 7.30PM

Hopkins Music presents: The Fleetwood Pac

Around 10 years ago, a psychic predicted she would wear a top hat. Now, as Stevie Nicks in a Fleetwood Mac Tribute Act, it all makes sense now.

The Fleetwood Pac were formed at a time when the world needed nostalgic comfort. Taking you back to a simpler time, The Fleetwood Pac pay tribute to their idols with authenticity and respect. 

What sets this act apart is the attention to details. This show has been transcribed note for note with the melody as Fleetwood Mac recorded, the harmonies where they belong and the Toms back-to-front on the drums. Fans of Fleetwood Mac will recognise and appreciate the details. 

They may not be the real thing, but they are the real experience.

The Fleetwood Pac are coming back to Hamilton by popular demand. Missed them last time? Then don't miss this time.

'Such faithful renditions of some of the greatest songs of all time.' -  Michael Paynter (Icehouse, Jimmy Barnes)
