BURLINGTON, ON. July 20, 2013. Did you dance to Under the Boardwalk? Do you remember Pauly and the Goodfellas? When was the last time you heard Good Vibrations and California Girls?
It was black and white in those days; it was rotary dial phones and gas that came in at what 25 cents a gallon? It was a different time and those were different tunes – all to be heard on September 14th – Nelson Park.
It’s all just a couple of months away. Wind you way over to Nelson Park Saturday September 14th – event begins at 2 pm – last dance just before 10 pm – and have a look at some of the antique cars and wonder what ever happened to those fins.
This Magic Moment – an exciting, first-of-its kind outdoor event celebrating the music and nostalgia of the 60’s with event headliner Rick Sheppard and the Drifters – not a knock off group but the original four in those trademark red jackets.
Two local groups will open the show….The Night Brigade (Sweet Caroline, Hooked on a Feeling) and Halton’s singing cop Stuart MacDonald.
You’re going to need a ticket for this one – and expect the place to be packed.
Tickets are available online at: tickets.
You won’t want to miss the Contours who will get those feet moving when you hear “Do You Love Me?” and do their Motown Review. Robbie Lane and the Disciples (“Fanny Mae”) will be on stage as will Pauly and the Goodfellas doing a tribute to The Jersey Boys and Beach Boys. Each of the four groups above will perform for 75 minutes!
Bring a lawn chair and settle in for an evening of pure nostalgia and remember just what your good old days were about. Bring the grandchildren to watch as you get out and dance and show them your stuff.
The on stage MC’s will be Connie Smith and Robbie Lane
Licensed area, food concessions, and a Vintage Car Show!
Nelson Park, New St. east of Walkers Line in Burlington. Gates open at 2 PM….Music from 2:30 to 10 PM. Tickets are only $30 for over 7 hours of live music!
