The mid-60's music scene was dominated by British acts, three of
which became household names, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and ....
HERMAN'S HERMITS (now known as The Hermits), who are one of the most successful groups throughout
the world.
From their beginning in Manchester, England, on April 1st, 1964, the
band has chalked up over 23 hit singles, 10 hit albums, 3 major movies
and countless television shows and concert tours all over the world -
up to date they have total records sales of over 60 million.
Since 1971 and the departure of Peter Noone to pursue a
"solo" career as a musical comedy actor, the group has never
stopped. Original member, Barry (The Bean) Whitwam, has guided the
band from strength to strength into one of the hardest working acts in
the business - they still average more than 200 one-night stands per
year - and reckon they maintain their stamina by having an amazing
sense of humor.
Their touring schedule takes them to Germany, Belgium, Holland, the
Scandinavian countries, the U.S.A., Canada, Australia and New Zealand
on a regular annual basis and they still find time to perform in their
home country, the United Kingdom, packing in the audiences at every
venue and delighting them with their solid musicianship, vocal ability
and dynamic stage presence. The "Golden Oldies" still make
up a large part of their show - much to the enjoyment of their fans,
who can't resist singing along to Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely
Daughter, Silhouettes, Dandy, Henry VIII and others too numerous to
mention.
Today The Hermit's are produced by Famed Record Producer Doc "The
Hitman" Holiday and record for his labels Tug Boat International
Records & Mega International Records. |
