Hide AdRave On was created by band members Dan Graham and Oliver Seymour Marsh. Dan said: “Every note of Rave On is played live on stage with as much faith to the original recordings as we could find. We love these songs as much as the audiences do and hope to play a part in keeping them alive for new generations to discover!” Oliver added: “We stop around 1966 just before psychedelia turns up. Who knows, maybe that’ll be our next show”.
Presented in an authentic concert style, Rave On features award-winnersThe Bluejays, billed as the UK’s most authentic 50s and 60s vintage rock and roll band. The group have been performing together since 2012 and a career highlight was being asked to play at Buddy Holly’s birthday celebration in Lubbock, Texas in front of Buddy’s family, his widow Maria Elena and guitar legend Duane Eddy, who described the band as “fantastic” and the “real deal”. The band also played at the wedding of Queen guitarist Brian May’s daughter.
In 2017, The Bluejays embarked on their first ever theatre tour, playing across the UK to thousands of fans.
