RETRO music fans have got the chance they have been waiting for to dig out the flares and platform boots, and watch a revival of 70s hits coming to the Wyvern Theatre for one night only next month.

Sold Gold 70s is a brand new stage show featuring a multi-talented cast performing glamrock greats, disco hits, power ballads and party anthems from Sweet, T Rex, Queen, Elton John, 10CC, David Essex, Suzi Quatro, David Cassidy, ELO, The Carpenters, Osmonds, Bay City Rollers, ABBA and more.

Show producer Michael Taylor said: “Take a step back to a time. Back to when 7.30pm on a Thursday night could mean only one thing – TV’s tuned into BBC1 and families gathered together to watch Top of the Pops.”

Michael, whose other hit touring shows include the Magic of Motown and Thank You for the Music, says that Solid Gold 70s is the most fun production on his company’s 20-show roster.

“If, like me,” he said, “you have fond memories of Pans People and Eurovision, Luke Skywalker and Saturday Night Fever, Danny and Sandy. . . Dastardly and Muttley, this is the show for you.

“With the cast bursting into the spotlight like an explosion-in-a-paintshop, we guarantee theatregoers the most colourful, top of the pops time of their lives.”

Audiences are invited to dress the part - platforms, flares, cat suits, tank tops and boob tubes.

Air guitars are welcome and there is plenty of room for Choppers and Space Hoppers in the car park.

The Wilts and Glos Standard has teamed up with the promoters of the production to offer 2 lucky readers the chance to win a pair of tickets to see Solid Glos 70s.
