Lipstick On Your Collar Ltd presents Lipstick On Your Collar.

Step back in time to the golden era of music, where the jukebox roared and feet didn’t touch the floor. Get your dancing shoes at the ready, grab yourself a milkshake and relax – you are in for an evening of back-to-back hits from the 1950s and 60s!

The show packs over forty hits from the likes of Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, The Ronettes, Cliff Richard, Cilla Black and many more – from the birth of Rock’n’Roll through to the Beat Group sounds of the British Invasion and beyond.

Performed by a full live band, featuring some of the country’s top musicians, this incredible show features excellent vocals, tight harmonies and an infectious sense of fun.

Dancing in the aisles is guaranteed, so bring your dancing shoes and let the good times roll!
