26 years of the best Rock 'n' Roll sounds
Colin Paul and The Persuaders were formed in the summer of 1995. They have enjoyed over 26 years performing their blend of late 50’s early 60’s Rock ‘n’ Roll music. For many years now they have been on top of the UK’s thriving Rock ‘n’ Roll scene. They have spent a great deal of time performing regularly at well know clubs, pubs, dance halls and theatres up and down the country and promptly being rebooked wherever they play. The Persuaders Rock ‘n’ Roll show is a must for all dancers. Playing the jiving standards of the era as well as their own compositions. Guaranteed to keep the dance floor full all evening. As well as being a great Rock 'n' Roll outfit they are also well established as a fitting Tribute act to Elvis Presley and Billy Fury in a show called... A TALE OF TWO KINGS.
Every theatre they have played with this show has been a sell-out. Lookout for new tour dates of this great show in 2022.
