The 2010 Once In A Lifetime Tour comes to Sheffield Arena. The tour brings together four of the biggest acts of the seventies. The Osmonds, David Essex, Leo Sayer and Les McKeown's Legendary Bay City Rollers on one stage make this tour a truly one-off experience.
THE OSMONDS
The Osmonds, pop heartthrobs in the 1970’s, features original lead vocalist Merrill alongside brothers Wayne, Jay and Jimmy (who more recently appeared in ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ and in the West End in both Chicago and Grease last year). The Osmonds have sold over 77 million records and their concert career parallels that of their recording success! The bands hits include two No 1’s – ‘Love Me For A Reason’ and ‘Crazy Horses’ – other Top Ten Hits include ‘Going Home’, ‘Let Me In’, and ‘The Proud One’.
DAVID ESSEX
From hit records to hit musicals David Essex OBE has had one of the most enduring careers in music - lasting over 30 years to date. David has starred in the musicals Godspell, Evita and Mutiny which he also wrote. His breadth of hits include two No 1’s – ‘Gonna Make U A Star’ and ‘Hold Me Close’ -other top ten hits include ‘Rock On’, ‘Lamplight’, ‘Stardust’, ‘Oh What A Circus’, ‘Brave New World’, ‘Silver Dream Machine’ and ‘A Winter’s Tale’.
LEO SAYER
With a career spanning four decades and hits topping both side of the Atlantic – singer songwriter Leo Sayer needs no introduction. Discovered by David Courtney and originally managed by Adam Faith, he launched his career I a pierrot style outfit and make-up with the song ‘The Show Must Go On’ (No 2). His biggest success came in 1977 with "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" (US No1 and won him a Grammy and which later went onto feature in the massive box office film ‘Charlies Angels’), as well as the romantic ballad, "When I Need You" (1977), which reached number one in both the UK and U.S. In 2006, he made a surprise return to number one in the UK Singles Chart, with Meck's remix of "Thunder In My Heart". Sayer has appeared in various TV shows including The Muppet Show, The Wiggles and Celebrity Big Brother UK in 2007.
LES MCKEOWN’S LEGENDARY BAY CITY ROLLERS
The Bay City Rollers, featuring lead singer Les McKeown, were an international Supergroup. Dubbed Rollermania by the press, this kind of mass hysteria hadn’t been seen since The Beatles. The Bay City Rollers notched up nine UK top ten hits including ‘Keep On Dancing’, ‘Remember (Sha-La-La)’, ‘Shang-A-Lang’, ‘Summer Love Sensation’, ‘All Of Me Loves All Of You’, ‘Money Honey’ and ‘I Only Wanna Be With You’ plus two number ones ‘Bye Bye Baby’ and ‘Give A Little Love’.
