"...it's like a TEDtalk perfectly interwoven into a rock concert! Stunning...."
Described as INNOVATIVE and UNIQUE, 50 Years of Fender is a show like no other - telling the fascinating story of the iconic 🎸 Fender Stratocaster 🎸across the 5 most important decades in it's tremendous 70 Years history.
“…The show was innovative and informative and the musicians were absolutely amazing. They could sing as well… We would highly recommend it as a show and will be back to hear these amazing musicians perform again….”
“…what we got was a fantastic evening, filled with Fender information and outstanding performances from the guys. Not only was the guitar playing amazing but the vocals were so good…I loved hearing all the stories about the [Guitar] and its place in various artists lives. It was great fun being able to sing along to the songs and I don't mind admitting that I genuinely had to stop myself from getting up and dancing, it really was an absolutely fabulous evening…”
This live and commercial show takes audiences through the incredible story of how the world's most recognisable guitar became the iconic instrument we all know and love - told through the biggest songs and the influential household names that made it such an important part of making music.
From the musicians that bring you DS:UK…in tribute to Dire Straits - Join us for this astounding 2 hour rock n roll rollercoaster of amazing music and fascinating stories.
