Showaddywaddy in Whitley Bay

Showaddywaddy are a British rock-and-roll revival band formed in Leicester in 1973. Their sound brought 1950s and early-1960s songs into the glam-pop era, and they became known for “Under the Moon of Love,” “Three Steps to Heaven,” “When,” “You Got What It Takes” and the original “Hey Rock and Roll.” Showaddywaddy performed at Glastonbury Festival in 2016 after decades of touring theatres and festivals around the UK. In 2023, the band marked its half-century on the road with the 50th Anniversary Tour.
