The 22nd Rockers Reunion Winter Party
will be held at the
Rivermead Leisure Complex
Richfield Avenue
Reading RG1 8EQ
5pm till 1am
Saturday 22nd January 2005
RAY CAMPI will headline our show. If you've never seen him slap that bass,
even as he climbs on top of it, then you're in for a treat. Ray is a great
entertainer and you will not want to miss him singing the likes of 'Pan American
Boogie' and 'Rockabilly Man'. We make no apology for rebooking CRAZY CAVAN AND
THE RHYTHM ROCKERS who have become perennial Rockers Reunion favourites. Once
again the Pride of Wales will close our show in their own inimitable style.
LUCAS AND THE DYNAMOS are another band who are always welcome at Rockers
Reunion. They went down a storm in 1995 and 1998 so this will be a hat trick of
appearances for the ultimate 50's showband. ERVIN TRAVIS AND THE VIRGINIANS
travel
from France to entertain you and are without doubt the closest thing to Gene
Vincent and The Blue Caps that you will ever see anywhere. They are
sensational. THE UGLY DOG SKIFFLE COMBO are a buch of nutters from Norfolk who
feature
tea chest bass, fiddle, banjo and washboard among their wide range of
instruments. Is it finally time for a skiffle revival? Many people will remember
the
SUNDOWNERS who were for many years one of the most popular bands on the circuit
and who backed several Americans including Sonny Burgess and Johnny Carroll.
They have recently reformed and are racing back to the top. Spinning the wax at
the 22nd Rockers Reunion, The Two Petes, Pete Bruce and Wild Cat Pete. SIDE
STALLSThere will be the usual shoppers paradise to help you spend your money.
All our regular stalls will be in attendance supplying everything from fifties
clothes, records, vidoes and badges. The 59 club and our resident tattooist
will also be on hand. The Rockers Reunion stall will be selling brand new tee
shirts, metal badges, a brand new patch and other goodies.

Special Offer!'American Rock 'n' Roll - The UK Tours 1956-72' is a new book
written by Ian Wallis. It is the very first detailed account of live Rock 'n'
Roll music in Britain and contains over 400 pages of tour itineraries, show
reports, TV appearances etc., plus many rare and previously unpublished photos.
The book is available through Rockers Reunion at the specially discounted price
of £20. Simply include payment when booking your tickets or pick up a copy
from the Rockers Reunion stall.The years pass by and life never seems to get any
easier. Sometimes you find yourself running just to stay in one spot and
nothing seems as good as it used to be...well hold on...there is still one thing
you can rely on. They will come on bikes, in vans and cars, by train or bus or
taxi. Some will trudge on foot or hitch lifts. Boats will glide up the river
and planes land at Heathrow, skateboards, pogo sticks, stilts and even Hansom
cabs are expected to be seen outside the Rivermead on the 22nd January when the
most beautiful women and hunkiest guys congregate once again for a great
night of music, drinking, dancing and fun. Be sure to join us, 'cos you won't
want
to miss...
The Piss Up Of The Year.
Ian and Willie.
