Alan was alongside Freddie as part of the British Invasion Tour of America, sharing the stage with Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Searchers and others. Alan is joined by The Temple Brothers, Steve and Colin, who have toured extensively with their Everly Brothers tribute show and Midnight Dynamos rock and roll band.

The original Amen Corner was a big influence on the 60s pop scene, creating their own unique brand of music, a mixture of mod, psychedelic power pop, heavy horns, swirling Hammond organ and distinctive voice of Andy Fairweather-Low. Their power house live show made them one of the most exciting bands around. With million seller hits like Gin House, Bend Me Shape Me, If Paradise was half as Nice, High in the Sky, & Hello Suzie they became a household name in the late 60s. The New Amen Corner has a musical pedigree second to none with band members who have played with the likes of Screaming Lord Sutch, The Symbols, Jeff Beck, Alexsis Korner, Roy Wood, Robert Plant, Alvin Stardust, Ruby Turner, Mike Oldfield and Jaki Graham to name but a few.

Hey, Hey, we’re the Monkees! the 60’s sitcom about a struggling young band, was created by TV producers Bob Rafelson & Bert Schneider, inspired by The Beatles film “A Hard Days Night”. The prefab four, as some critics labelled them, were Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones. The Monkees became an instant TV and pop charts success… selling 75 Million Albums and every kind of merchandise you can think of.. in just 2 years. While charts hits like “The last Train to Clarkesville” & “I’m a Believer” quickly created huge demand for the boys to perform live concert tours. The problem was, until then The Monkees music had been recorded by session musicians…and the lads only provided the vocals!! Now, the fictional band wanted to become real…and like Pinocchio became a real boy, they cut the strings! This is the story of the Monkees…..with a young band of talented singers who really can play and a hilarious narrator.
