Back in 1957 Tony and Peter Oakman formed the Spaceman Skiffle Group which included guitarist Joe Brown.
In 1959 Joe Brown was spotted by TV producer Jack Good which led to TV?s ?Boy Meets Girl? series. They were then signed up by Decca Records and the first single ?Dark Town Strutters Ball? gave birth to ?Joe Brown & The Bruvvers?.
Numerous TV appearances and touring throughout the UK followed, and in 1962 Pete Oakman and fellow Bruvver, Johnny Beveridge, wrote the No 1 hit ?A Picture of You?, which remains to this day a firm favourite in the history of UK pop music.
In 1964 Pete Oakman began a six year separation from Joe Brown, when he played bass for Lonnie Donnegan. In 1972 Pete re-joined Joe Brown with a new band ?Browns Home Brew?.
During the 1970s Pete joined John Clare and formed the band ?Harley Quinne? from which came their top 20 single hit ?New Orleans?.
The band?s keyboard player, Bill Livsey, went on to work with Cliff Richard, and Pete?s son Steve Oakman joined the band on keyboard.
Drummer Chris Hunt has become a legend in his own right, having worked with Thunderclap Newman, Leo Sayer, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, and Lonnie Donegan. And in recent years Chris has worked with Dana Gillepsie, and is the drummer for the Eel Pie All Stars.
Unfortunately Pete Oakman recently passed away, so this show is reuniting Steve Oakman, John Clare and Chris Hunt, and will be a nostalgic look back at one the of the most popular bands to emerge from the 60s, and a tribute to the band?s founder, the late Pete Oakman.
?The Bruvvers? are back, enjoy.
