Northbridge will come alive to the sounds of the ‘50s and ‘60s on Thursday 12 November from 12pm for a free Seniors Week lunchtime concert featuring classic tunes from the era that gave birth to rock ‘n’ roll.
The Roots of Rock ‘n’ Roll Show at Northbridge Piazza features the legendary musicians of Perth’s own veteran rockers Way Back When. The band will be joined by jive dance duos in dazzling fashions from the era, and seating and shaded areas will be provided.
Lead singer Dave Gillam said music fans could expect to hear some rousing renditions of vintage tunes such as Jailhouse Rock, Summertime Blues, Mustang Sally and many more. Way Back When band members have graced some of the best known live bands on the Perth circuit, including The Troupadores, The Jets, Dave Hole Band and On The Level.
Seniors Week takes place from 8-15 November. Almost 80 events will be held across WA thanks to State Government and Lotterywest grants of more than $80,000 to community organisations and local governments.
