Teulada Moraira Lions present: "The Overtones" tribute band in concert with special guests "Encore". Espai La Senieta, Avda Madrid, Moraira, 2nd October at 8pm. Ticket price: 15€.
"The Over-who?" you may ask. And, yes, the band whose music will be performed by the tribute act headlining this concert may well not (yet) be particularly well known in the Marina Alta but the melodic harmonies of the Overtones, with their rich mixture of doo- wop, R&B and pop music, deservedly enjoy a huge - and growing - following throughout the UK and Northern Europe. The boys´ rise to the big time is a story which, if it appeared as the plot in a work of fiction would, in this cynical day and age, strain credulity to the max.
In September 2009, the original members of what are now The Overtones
auditioned for The X Factor but Simon Cowell and his fellow judges decided against putting them through to the next round. Shortly after this setback, the boys met the guy who went on to join the band as bass singer thereby completing the lineup of The Overtones as it is today.
The band members then started their own painting and decorating company so that they could continue to practise singing together even whilst working and it was as they were harmonising "The Longest Time" while painting a shop near Oxford Street, London, that the boys were "discovered" by a talent scout for Warner Bros. Records, literally as he was walking past the front door. The Overtones were, shortly afterwards, signed to a 5-album deal and have never looked back. They have toured with Sir Cliff Richard and performed with and for the late, great Sir Terry Wogan - and if their kind of music was good enough for dear old Tel.............
The Overtones Tribute Band is based in Benidorm where it has a number of regular gigs at popular venues such as Talk Of The Coast, Riviera Music Lounge and Jaspers. The tribute act is very much an homage to the music of The Overtones and so, if you occasionally enjoy a bit of easy-listening doo-wop as a counterpoint to the more raucous sounds of Rock 'n Roll, this night is for you.
And, to open the concert, T.M. Lions are delighted to bring to La Senieta, "Encore", a female harmony duo whose repertoire covers everything from chilled, laid back jazz & swing to upbeat perennial favourites and ranges from the 1930s to the present day. Interested? Then book your seats for this one by contacting the Event Coordinator, by telephone on 96 649 1917 or email
colinlilley1424@gmail.com. Tickets are priced at just 15€ - and it's going to be a grand night of jolly good music!
