Winners of the 2013 UK Agency Association’s National Tribute Awards as organised by The Agent’s Association (GB), Richie Sampson’s - Drifters Tribute Revue captures the magic of the past and reinvigorates a love for rock and roll classics.
The original Drifters, on the music scene in 1953 America, quickly became legends of the USA’s Motown record label. Their legacy defined a sound of an era and they became known as one of the most successful and enduring vocal groups of all time. The memory of their heyday is encapsulated by their place in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Performing many of The Drifters’ top hits, such as ‘Under the Boardwalk’, ‘Up on the Roof’ and ‘Kissing in the Back Row of the Movies’ Richie Sampson’s Drifters Revue also write and perform their own original songs which are heavily influenced by the original Drifters.
Richie Sampson’s pedigree is secured as he has actually performed with long standing members of the Drifters, Ray and Billy Lewis, Butch Leake as well as Roy Hemmings. Richie helps bring the magic of Motown to the stage alongside his tribute band counterparts.
The Drifters will be supported on their tour by ‘Diana Ross’ look-a-likes Tameka Jackson or Cherie Jade. Tameka Jackson is a chart topping entertainer who has performed over the world.
She has worked with many well-known celebrities including Jools Holland, The Drifters, Janet Jackson and The Foundations, to name a few. Her Diana Ross tribute act comes from a deep respect and admiration for the Supremes and Diana Ross and is sure to wow all audiences with her uncanny resemblance to the legendary lady herself.
Cherie Jade is talented singer from the north of England who has worked with a world renowned Supremes tribute act at various high profile locations across the UK as well as performing on cruise ships for 3 years.
Chris Hopkins, Commercial Director at Grosvenor Casinos, commented: “Once again we’re ecstatic to be presenting our customers across the UK with yet another incredible act. The Drifters Tribute Revue will undoubtedly get the crowd going with a selection of top tunes at these one-off performances that shouldn’t be missed.
“While as the UK’s leading casino operator we’re renowned for our top gaming facilities, we’re more than just a gaming destination and always endeavour to host an array of top acts for customers who are joining us for leisure. With a number of crowd-pleasing hits under their belts, we’re confident the experience will be a night to remember so make sure you get your tickets now while you still can to avoid disappointment.”
