Ricky Cool and the In Crowd are performing at Beccles Public Hall on Saturday 11th February from 8.30pm (doors open at 8pm) and well-loved local DJ and dance instructor, DJ The Muffin Man of Jivebunnies will be DJ for the evening and specialising in R&B and early Northern Soul Popcorn.
Take a shuffle and a shimmy back in time to the early 1960s in the company of Ricky Cool and The In Crowd, as they bring the music of Soho’s most legendary venue to Beccles Public Hall.
Serving up the authentic sound of Red Hot Rhythm and Blues and a side order of classic early Jamaican grooves, they’ll guarantee to have your feet itching to dance.
The Flamingo was the home of legendary all-nighters, where Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames held sway and Hipsters with their Chicksters danced into the small hours.
Boasting a cosmopolitan clientele, American GIs and West Indian expatriates would rub shoulders with pop stars, actors, socialites, as well as celebrity gangsters and prostitutes. It was THE place to go to be seen and it played no small part in the biggest political scandal of the 1960s – The Profumo Affair.
Ricky has toured with the likes of Billy Connolly, shared a stage with George Harrison and played alongside Robert Plant. Not to mention fronting one of Birmingham’s most popular combos, the legendary Ricky Cool and the Icebergs. Now, with his 6 piece band The In Crowd, Ricky Cool is set to deliver his own inimitable take on 60s Rhythm & Blues and Ska to a whole new audience.
As Ricky says, “The band members are all top class musicians with fearsome pedigrees. The music we play is timeless and the show is wild and wacky by anyone’s standards. The band’s often nutty brand of enthusiasm is contagious”.
With Ricky Cool and the In Crowd you better be prepared for a great evening’s entertainment, fabulous music and captivating stage show straight out of those legendary Flamingo nights. Sit back, enjoy the show, or get up and dance.
