The Drifters are back on tour in the UK with a new show performing all their classic hits from the last six decades.
More than 60 dates have been announced for 2018 including one-night only at the Princess Theatre, Torquay tomorrow (June 15).
The legendary group have previously been inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame, listed among the greatest artists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and have produced an incredible list of hits, including Saturday Night at the Movies, Come on Over to My Place, Stand By Me, Under the Boardwalk and many, many more.
Now in their 65th year – The Drifters are back on the road with a line up hand-picked by Tina Treadwell herself – president of the Treadwell Entertainment Group and owner of The Drifters’ name. Tina’s father started the group with Clyde McPhatter and brought in several greats thereafter such as Johnny Moore and Ben E King.
Her mother Faye was later responsible for bringing the group to the UK and overseeing hits such as More Than a Number and Kissin’ in the Back Row. After the death of her parents, it was down to Tina to continue the legacy of The Drifters’ name.
