A TRIBUTE to the 'clown princes of pop' takes to the stage at the Market Place next month.
With smart-aleck hits and stage antics that included dressing up as their own opening acts, Dr Hook gladly assumed the role of the clown princes of 70’s pop.
Their off-centre, sardonic approach to music kept Hook and his cronies in the charts for
over ten years, netting them thirty-five gold and platinum records The band was formed in 1968 when new Jersey native Dennis Locorriere and Southern honky-tonk veteran Ray Sawyer hooked up (Sawyers eye patch, the result of an injury received in a car accident in 1967, inspired the band’s name).
This is a special once only chance to see and hear all of the hits of Dr Hook performed to perfection at the Market Place Theatre Armagh on Friday, October 17 with a performance start time of 8pm.
Dr Hook’d have recreated to the finest detail the atmosphere; audience participation and the zany antics of the original band live on stage.
Songs from their albums such as Sylvia’s Mother, More like the movies, When you're in love with a beautiful woman, If not you, A Little bit more, Sharing the night together, etc are played live and to perfection by this sensational band and provide everlasting music memories.
