Are you ready for a night of pure rock 'n' roll nostalgia? Join us for an unforgettable evening as we pay tribute to two of the most iconic bands of all time: Creedence Clearwater Revival and Smokie!

Step back in time and get ready to sing along to the timeless hits that defined a generation. From the soulful southern rock of CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" and "Proud Mary" to the unforgettable pop-rock anthems of Smokie like "Living Next Door to Alice".  This is more than just a concert; it's a celebration of music that has stood the test of time.

Brought to you by the sensational Gareth James, this show promises an electrifying performance that will transport you straight to the golden age of classic rock. As a highly decorated artist and performer, Gareth's captivating tribute act has captivated audiences and is a testament to his talent, having been recognized as the SA CMA 2023 winner, a Texas Sounds Country Music Awards 2024 Performance of the Year winner, and a Josie CMAs Nashville 2024 Vocalist of the Year winner.
