60'S Pogramme 2018 Version 2 The Rossendale 60’s Festival 7th, 8th and 9th September 2018 www.rossendale60sfest.wordpress.com The Rossendale 60’s Festival – The Story So far The Rossendale 60’s Festival is now in its 6th year and has established itself as the premier valley-wide event in Rossendale. Its current Chair Barry Hyde founded the Festival in 2013 as an initiative that would provide a theme that both businesses and the community would buy into. It was seen as a Festival that supported a number of individual events that adopted the 60’s theme but the interpretation was left to each event organising group. The first year did attract a number of groups and businesses, and was seen to have great potential going forward. Pete Sweetmore Joined Barry in 2014 to provide further capacity to discuss and engage with businesses and community groups with a view to developing further events and express the opportunities for all to benefit. The Festival Organising Group now a constituted group of members that coordinates and promotes the Festival and has succeeded in developing the Festival to where it is now. The organisers have always seen the Rossendale 60’s Festival as distinctive in a number of ways. • It has always encouraged the Rossendale community and businesses to get involved and engage with the festival and benefit from all of the opportunities presented to them as a consequence of the success of the Festival • From its conception, the Festival has always been envisaged as a Valley Wide event, encompassing all that is synonymous with the 60’s era • Putting Rossendale on the map as a preferred tourism destination The Rossendale 60’s Festival 2018 has increased both in size and diversity, while maintaining quality of the events which the organisers have developed over the past 5 years and has added new events and venues across the Valley The Rossendale 60’s Festival 2017 was recognised by the Northern Souls Awards Judging panel as one of the best Festivals in the Northwest and was shortlisted the Festival in the ‘Music Festival of the Year’ THE ROSSENDALE 60’S FESTIVAL 2018 PROGRAMME OF EVENTS: Dust off your flairs, shorten your skirts and prepare yourself for a fab and Groovy weekend of music, art and culture that will take you back to the swinging 60’s era.

  • Frank Allen the Searchers
    Chats to: Frank Allen The Searchers Please introduce yourself, and maybe for some of our younger audience especially, please can you tell us a brief history about The Searchers? I am Frank Allen, bass player and front man with The Searchers and a very long standing member, having celebrated on August 3 rd 49 years as one of the group. For the benefit of younger readers The Searchers came to national and international prominence in 1963 when the Beatles change the whole outlook on popular beat music across the globe at a time when in particular America was a closed shop to artistes from the U.K. The first record, Sweets For My Sweet , was released in June that year and started a run of fourteen chart hits which included Sugar & Spice , When You Walk In The Room , Needles & Pins , Love Potion Number Nine , Someday We’re Gonna Love Again, Goodbye My Love, Don’t Throw Your Love Away, He’s Got No Love , Take Me For What I’m Worth , Take It Or Leave It , Bumble Bee and Have You Ever Loved Somebody as well as a succession of albums and extended play discs that charted. Like the Beatles and many of the new bands at the time it was formed in Liverpool and I broke that chain when I replaced the original bass player, Tony Jackson in 1964. My first disc with The Searchers was When You Walk In The Room , our most covered hit ever, and I was to play on 9 of the chart singles. Originally the group was called ‘Johnny Sandon & The Searchers’.

  • 46 Years Late but I Made It
    46 years late but I made it Back in 1961 a damp cellar, converted into a club, in Liverpool was becoming a Mecca for young teenagers. However it wasn’t until a rather suave, certainly for Liverpool, gentleman descended down the winding stairs on November 9 th 1961 that it’s status in the annals of popular music were about to change. That man was Brian Epstein and he had been drawn to the club out of I am sure part business acumen and part curiosity, to see for himself a rather scruffy group who he had heard of through the fact that requests for records of theirs had been made at his music and record shop, even though technically they had not made any in their own right. The group was of course The Beatles and within 18 months this club would go on to achieve legendary status. Many groups who swept to fame on the crest of what became known as the Merseybeat boom did of course play at the Cavern and The Searchers were no exception, making their Cavern debut fronted by Johnny Sandon on April 5th 1961 or 18 th April dependant on one’s source of reference. Pop historians would later claim that The Searchers were really better known for playing another venue called the Iron Door club. However fact remains The Searchers did play at the Cavern numerous times on three occasions with The Beatles and that perhaps the most fateful gig they played there was one night when the aforementioned Brian Epstein, decided to take a look at their performance with a view to perhaps adding them to his growing roster of Liverpool groups and singers, after all, why not, they were perceived to be one of the big groups within the Liverpool scene.
