Join our Staines Friends Group for a musical feast from The Wonderyears – the UK oldest senior Rock Choir! Please join us at the Hythe Centre on Thorpe road in Staines (opposite Magna Carta School).
Formed in 2007, Virginia Water based “The Wonderyears” are believed to be the UK’s only seniors rock chorus and band having performed to many full capacity audiences, including a number of festivals such as Guilfest and Wokingham and have been filmed for national television. They beat 60,000 other acts by reaching the quarter finals of the 2012 Britain’s Got Talent show and appeared on BBC2’s Eggheads competition. Since their formation, The Wonderyears have raised thousands of pounds for charities and we are delighted that they will be supporting Shooting Star Chase.
With an average age of over 70 and the oldest at over 90, the traditional view of grandparents is soon shattered when they start to belt out hard rock and punk as well as contemporary pop.
Founder and Musical Director, Dave Thomas, says that “life truly begins at 70. The Wonderyears demonstrate very powerfully that just because you qualify for a bus pass and a winter fuel allowance, you are not over the hill. Their performances are both inspirational and entertaining and leave audiences with the feel good factor.”
For just £10 you can enjoy a range of rock and pop classics, as well as tea, coffee and homemade cakes. For more information please contact Jane de Lay on 01932 821000 or jane.delay@shootingstarchase.org.uk.
