DirectRooms.com – Gerry & The Pacemakers and Herman’s Hermits Come to Christchurch

March 14, 2011 - PRLog -- From 31st March to the 10th April, the bands will play in a number of cities. On the first of April, they will hit the James Hay Theatre in Christchurch.

Gerry & The Pacemakers made their mark back in the 60s, but have remained relevant through the decades. Originally from Liverpool, they were the first act to ever reach number one in the UK Singles Chart with their first three releases.  

Hailing from the same area as the Beatles is no small weight to bear, but Gerry & The Pacemakers have lived up to that prestigious beginning. Their first song, How Do You Do It? reached number one in the UK. Their next two singles, I Like It and You’ll Never Walk Alone, fared similarly, each reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart.

The Pacemakers will be in good company on the first of April when they play with Herman’s Hermits. Also a British beat band, Herman’s Hermits burst onto the scene in the 60s with a cover of Earl Hean’s I’m Into Something Good. This hit rose to number one on the UK Singles Chart.  The band also produced three top hits in the US.
