Take a trip back in time to Soho?s most iconic music venue of the early 1960?s, in the company of Ricky Cool and the In Crowd. Red Hot Rhythm and Blues will be served up with a side order of Soul, Ska and Bluebeat, just as it was at the Flamingo?s legendary Friday and Saturday ?All Nighter? sessions.

Not only was the Flamingo Club a home for the burgeoning Mod scene of early ?60?s, it also boasted a cosmopolitan clientele. Black American GI?s and immigrants from the West Indies and Africa would rub shoulders with pop stars, actors, socialites, gangsters and prostitutes. It was THE place to be go to and be seen and played its own small part in the biggest political scandal of the 1960?s ? The Profumo Affair.

Many will remember Ricky Cool fronting one of Birmingham?s most popular combos, the legendary Ricky Cool and the Icebergs. Ricky has toured with the likes of Billy Connolly, shared a stage with George Harrison and played alongside Robert Plant. Now, with his 5 piece band The In Crowd, Ricky Cool is set to deliver his own inimitable take on ?60?s Rhythm and Blues, Ska and Bluebeat to you all.

The band members are all top class musicians with excellent pedigrees, who have worked with artists including Ruby Turner, The Beat, Carina Round, Linda Perry and Fine Young Cannibals.

As Ricky says, ?The music we play is timeless and our show is enjoyed by young and old alike. The enjoyment we have on stage rubs off on our audience and a great time is had by one and all.?

Be prepared for a great evening?s entertainment, recreating the atmosphere of a celebrated music venue. You can sit back and enjoy the show or get involved and dance. Who knows, Cathy McGowan may spot you and give you a ticket to be in the audience for ?Ready Steady Go.?
