Bobby Benton (The Swinging Sixties) - Solo/Duo/Trio/Band/Show Band

Expect a high level of musicianship and punchy polished professional performance from a musician that has been entertaining audiences for over 4 decades. Performing as a solo act through to fronting a show band, Bobby’s strength lies in crowd interaction, and in reading his audience, selecting the most appropriate songs as the show progresses, thus ensuring that any and every audience has maximum fun and a great time!

References available upon request.

Bobby supplies his own high-end sound and light production. A stage or elevated area to perform on is preferable but not essential. Basically, a minimum of at least 2 square meters per performer is required. Access to both power and to the venue at least 2 hours prior to the start time (or before guests arrive if preferred) are the only other requirements.
