Marty Wilde 2021 @ The Cresset

About

There’s a chance to relive the golden decades of pop and rock at The Cresset, Peterborough on Sunday 3rd October when Marty Wilde will appear on stage!

Marty was one of the leading British rock and roll singers, along with Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard. Wilde’s backing group was called The Wildcats and his hits include Donna, Sea of Love, Blue Moon of Kentucky, Bad Boy and of course, Jezebel and Rubber Ball. In the late 60’s Marty Wilde also had a major hit with his version of Glen Campbell’s By the Time I Get to Phoenix.

Marty also enjoyed success as a songwriter in the late 1960’s and 1970’s. With Ronnie Scott, he co-wrote the one-hit wonders The Casuals’ Jesamine under the pseudonyms of Frere Manston and Jack Gellar. The pair also wrote Lulu’s I’m A Tiger and the early Status Quo hit Ice In The Sun.

He now continues to perform in nostalgia tours throughout the UK and beyond. In 2007, he celebrated 50 years in the business with another UK tour which culminated in a concert recorded at the London Palladium, and reunited the remaining Shadows; Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch, Jet Harris, Brian Locking and Brian Bennett.

Marty Wilde remains one of the true iconic British rock stars and will be making a welcome return to The Cresset in October.
