ALive in the 70s

Alive In The 70s will bring the unforgettable sounds and distinctive style of the 1970s back to life at a show at Byron Theatre on Saturday, January 18.

Led by the powerful vocals of local resident Mama Cath and Papa Pan, and backed by a talented group of seasoned musicians, Alive In The 70s will make you feel like you’ve stepped out of a time machine straight back to the glory days of groovy tunes, bell-bottoms, and big hair.

Whether it’s the soulful ballads, infectious disco anthems, or classic rock hits, the six-piece band’s extensive repertoire will have you singing and dancing all night long.

The band love nothing more than seeing crowds rise from their seats to fill a dance floor – and are bringing their show to the Northern Rivers for the first time in three years.

Expect to hear timeless hits from artists like ABBA, AC/DC, The Bee Gees, Gloria Gaynor, Kiss, Earth, Wind & Fire, Linda Ronstadt, Donna Summer and many more.

No matter whether you were there when this music was created, or you’ve discovered it in the intervening decades, Alive in the 70s is a show not to be missed by die-hard fans or those discovering the era for the first time.

Tickets for the two-hour show cost just $55 and can be purchased through the Byron Theatre – byroncentre.com.au.
