There was more variety in music in the 1970s than ever before. Music listeners had dozens of genres to choose from and many of them rose to popularity at different points during the decade. Funk, Soul, R&B, Pop, Hard Rock, Soft Rock and Disco all carved out their place in the music world in the 1970s

The 70s were a golden era for vinyl records. They were affordable to everyone and everyone had a record player. For my Show at The Drama Factory I have chosen some of the iconic songs of the 70s era to perform for you. Easy – Commodores, September - Earth Wind & Fire, Paradise Road – Joy, Just My Imagination – Temptations, I'll Be There - The Jacksons, amongst others.

Performed by Andrew Young & Tony Drake.  Andrew started his musical training at the age of 8, with Clarinet and Saxophone lessons, but like most other lads his age, he would have rather have been playing football! fter completing his Saxophone and Clarinet studies in London, Andrew moved to Germany to pursue a desire for a broader and more eclectic involvement in all genres of music. He had the honour of performing as soloist with various Symphony Orchestras and engaged in session work and concerts alongside Pop/Jazz/Funk luminaries such as Matt Bianco and Precious Wilson Band. Andrew tours the world with his saxophone and is known as the Prince of the Saxophone.

Audience Responses

A brilliant performance!

Fantastic and very entertaining. Artist is exceptional!

What a great show. Fabulous choice of music and Andrew Young really connected with the audience with some gentle humour. It wasn't too loud for a change - thank you. My only gripe is the smoke machine. Gets into eyes and throat causing coughing.

Another fantastic show by Andrew Young and Tony Drake - 10/10

First time to the Drama Factory - nice informal theater with wine on sale. The show was relaxed with good crowd interaction. Nice to see and chat to the performers at intermission.

Great to return again to The Drama Factory. Fantastic programme of classic hits performed spectacularly by Andrew Young and Tony Drake - sheer delight and treasured memories. Thanks a million to everyone involved xx 😇❤️🙏

Great show as always. Really enjoyed the evening. Andrew and co were outstanding. As was the sound and lighting guy Vickus Louw. You can't go wrong with a good production at the Drama Factory.

Andrew Young is most definitely a talent to be reckoned with. Not only is he a talented musician but also has a strong Stage personality. And the two surprises we got were absolutely mind blowing! I'd also like to mention that Tony was just as incredible. The duet was a musical match that spoke to all my senses!

What an amazing show. So much talent together on 1 stage. Andrew is a great entertainer and I loved hoe he involved his audience. Well done!

Fantastic
