If that’s not enough to prove their credentials, the group is known for its energetic repertoire that covers the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Beatles and Spencer Davis Group. They also pull out some rock ‘n’ roll favourites and cover songs by Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley. The Moondogs are undoubtedly a must-see act for a show-stopping tribute to all the sounds that defined these decades. Memories of the 4 Tops The smooth, stunning vocal harmonies and flawless choreography of this group have long been amazing audiences all over the world. Their slick performances cover all the top Motown and disco hits by the legendary Four Tops, and mix it up with medleys of classic R&B, Soul and Motown favourites that include songs by Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Stax and The Drifters. Marty Wilde and The Wildcats Marty Wilde rose to rock ‘n’ roll fame in the late 50s with his first major hit single, ‘Endless Sleep’. After that, the hits just kept coming, with 1959’s ‘Donna’ spending four months in the UK top 50, and ‘Teenager In Love’, which reached number 2. ‘Bad Boy’, ‘Sea of Love’ and ‘Jezebel’ were all chart favourites as well.
