Rick’s band, The Luddites will be playing a set at The Grey Horse in Kingston on May 17th.
Taken from The Grey Horse website:
80′s pop idol Rick Astley, winner of “Best Act Ever” at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2008, will be appearing with his new band The Luddites and performing a range of numbers from bands as varied as The Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, T Rex, The Killers, Greenday as well as his classic award-winning hit Never Gonna Give You Up.
‘Imagine a parallel universe in which 80’s crooner Rick Astley plays drums in a 3 piece rock band.Now you can experience this universe for yourself, as The Luddites, Rick’s ‘weekend hobby band’ bring their ‘ramshackle jukebox favourites’ to The Grey Horse. The Luddites play ‘a lively selection of garage-rock cover versions’. Rick and his two middle aged chums rock till they drop, which actually takes longer than you’d think. A fabulous night of completely unexpected fun and rock played by three talented musicians one of whom just happens to be able to sing like Luther Vandross, drum like Dave Grohl and axe like Justin Hawkins (ok maybe not but you know what I mean). Rick Rolling? Wait till you see Rick Rocking.
