“THE DRIFTERS LIVE!”

PRESS RELEASE – BEGINS:

Celebrate The Drifters most successful and critically acclaimed tour ever as Warner Bros CD ‘The Definitive Drifters’ reaches platinum-award sales status in UK – 300,000 copies sold!

As a special “Thank You” to their UK fans, The Drifters are premiering a Platinum-Award winning new show and will bring over 50 years of classic hits to life.:

Saturday Night At the Movies; Under The Boardwalk; Come On Over To My Place; Kissin’ In The Back Row Of The Movies; & many more!

The Drifters are the longest running group in pop history still performing live. For 52 years, they have undergone many line-up changes and featured 57 different singers, including legendary lead vocalists JOHNNY MOORE, CLYDE McPHATTER, BEN E. KING and RUDY LEWIS. The Drifters in 2005 are directly descended from those early days and feature long-term members PETER LAMARR, PATRICK ALAN, ROHAN DELANO TURNEY and newest recruit, VICTOR BYNOE.

Playing to sell-out audiences throughout the UK, they are being praised by critics for performing one of The Drifters best ever live shows. The show is so good that Prime Minister TONY BLAIR requested The Drifters perform for his ‘Leaders Reception’ at the Labour Party Conference in Brighton!
