Rock around the CPAC clock
IT’S time to rock around the clock with the roaring guitars of The Williams Brothers and their tribute to the greatest rock and roll legends from the 50s and 60s at CPAC tomorrow.
The legends of rock and roll will come back to life tomorrow (September 7) from 6.30pm at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre with ‘Twist & Shout’ – a show that will take the audience on a journey through the 50s and 60s best rock and roll hits that changed music history.
With the likes of Elvis, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, The Bee Gees and The Monkees’ hits one after the other, there’ll be nonstop dancing and singing along.
One third of The Williams Brothers, Warren Williams, said this would be a night to relive the best moment of rock and roll history.
“Twist and Shout is basically a salute to all the great music from the 50 and 60s and the big starts of this time,” he said.
“On the first half of the show we’ll do the songs from all the big soloists like Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and the list goes on. We’ll play all of their big hits plus a lot of footage from them in their careers.
“In the second half of the show we do all the duos, trios and bands from the time like The Monkees, The Bee Gees, The Dave Clark Five, The Beatles, and more.
“We’re three brothers, myself, my brother Darren and my brother Andrew, so the show is also a bit of the story of our lives growing up in that music because our father was Warren Williams Sr, one of the pioneers of rock and roll in Australia in the 50s and 60s.”
Mr William said the show was one not to miss for fans of classic hits.
“Being three brothers, the Bee Gees are one of our highlights of the show. With lots of their early work, we’re also big Beatles fans so we like to finish the show with a Beatles selection,” he said.
“These songs are timeless, so if you love that era of music, you want to see great energy on stage and lots of great footage from that time then come and have a dance.”
