Born to Rock N Roll! "Dreamboats" Marty Wilde, Eden Kane and Jet Harris

For one night only on Friday 29th October at the Queen’s Theatre, Barnstaple, original ‘dreamboats’, Marty Wilde, Eden Kane and Jet Harris join forces in a spectacular show that will show they really were Born to Rock N Roll! From 1958 to 1961 Marty, Eden and Jet took the charts by storm clocking up well over 200 weeks in the charts in just under four years. The original teen idols will take in 29 towns and cities across the UK performing their own hits and collaborating live on stage for the first time ever. Singer, songwriter, legend Marty Wilde is hailed by many friends as one of the first original British Rock N Roll pioneers. Cliff Richard reminisces “I remember when Marty Wilde, Dicky Pride and I were ‘three cool cats’. I always thought in those days there was actually only one ‘cool cat’ – and that was Marty.” Wilde enjoyed countless hits in the late 50s and early 60s, with thirteen consecutive hit records staying in the charts for a total of 117 weeks including Endless Sleep, Donna, Sea Of Love, Little Girl, Bad Boy and A Teenager In Love. Marty Wilde is particularly excited to be performing with Eden Kane and Jet Harris. He explains: “Eden Kane has a really rich vocal style. I have always loved his records, and having toured with him before I know that the audience will be knocked out with his performance. Jet Harris (like Eden Kane) is one of the great Legends of our pop History and his guitar bass work is as wonderful as ever - he was a star with the Shadows and has always been a star on our shows.” Marty’s daughter Roxy Wilde also features on the bill and Marty is sure she’ll go down a storm. “I know that people will warm to her as they did in my last touring shows, she has a sassy style and a great vocal tone which this show will highlight.”
