Back by popular demand, The Sixties Revolution” is a special tribute to The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, The Doors and Simon & Garfunkel

Duck Chowles, Andy Murray & The Retro Rewind Band brought you the highly-acclaimed, “Simon & Garfunkel meets The Beatles” show. Now they are back to pay tribute to a decade, the ‘60s, that marked a time when pop music became more than a teenage fad, but an important art form in its own right, as its sound tracked the hippie heyday & the Vietnam War.

With his superb energy & vocal range and his uncanny ability to perfectly mimic artists down to the finest idiosyncrasy, mercurial Duck Chowles, South Africa’s Rock ‘n Roll chameleon, who has won acclaim for his spellbinding and sterling impersonations of Mick Jagger & The Rolling Stones, will captivate the audience, as he pays authentic tribute to these musical greats with hits such as “Honky Tonk Women”, “Jumping Jack Flash”, “Paint it Black” & “Ruby Tuesday”.

Duck will also pay a heart-warming tribute to one of the greatest singer-songwriter poets, Bob Dylan, with songs like “Blowing in the Wind”, “Just like a Woman” & “Mr Tambourine Man”. Inimitably dexterous on lead guitar & vocals, Andy Murray, who has won a prize for “Best Instrumentalist” & “Best Lead Guitarist” and been hailed as a “mean guitar player” will pay tribute with some blistering guitar solos to two of the most influential guitarists of the ‘60s: Jimi Hendrix with “Purple Haze” & Eric Clapton with “Sunshine of Your Love”. Duck Chowles & Andy Murray also achieve the perfect harmony blend, one of their trademarks, for Simon & Garfunkel hits like “The Boxer” & the iconic, “The Sound of Silence”, as well as for The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” & “Nowhere Man”. The show also takes you down the highway with “Born to be Wild” by Steppenwolf and Jim Morrison & The Doors’ “Riders on the Storm” & “Roadhouse Blues”. “The Sixties Revolution” is a show strictly for all ages and music tastes, a show celebrating all styles of music, song & timeless classics, that will have the audience carried along on a flood of good vibrations. A crowd-pleasing show that will treat ‘60s music nostalgists to an exciting musical journey into the past!

The Retro Rewind Band features musical genius & celebrated performer, Duck Chowles, of Barnyard fame, on acoustic guitar & vocals, Andy Murray, also of Barnyard fame on electric & acoustic guitars & vocals, as well as accomplished, like-minded musicians, Alan Llyod on drums & bassist Karl Hering, who both also performed in various Barnyard productions. Eastern Cape-born-rock and roll artist, Duck Chowles, who is a producer extraordinaire, is a household name and together with Andy Murray, has been on the forefront of the South African entertainment industry for more than 3 decades. They started working together in 1993 in a Tribute to The Rolling Stones called Sticky Fingers at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown and continued performing together in countless hit shows such as Sixty Something, Roll over Beethoven, Glory Days, Station 70 and many more. This cast of highly professional musicians have paid their dues and have earned the respect of aficionado (fans) of ‘60s music!

Wow, what a fantastic show, 1st class entertainment again. I would highly recommend it to anyone of any ages.

Seen Duck and Andy three times at the factory. Last night was their finest. Andy Murray ( especially at his age ) must be one of the finest guitarist I have ever seen in South Africa. This group is in a class of their own. I could watch them for hours on end - TOTALLY STUNNING TOTALLY GREAT Thanks Robbie

It was an outstanding performance which we thoroughly enjoyed!!! Please bring them back soon....good old times brought to life...what an awesome show!!! Please let me know of similar future events.

It was probably, no definitely, one of the best music shows I’ve seen at the Drama Factory. It’s always fantastic to see the performing artists enjoying what they do as much as the audience. Hopefully they will return again.

Should not have started late. Audience was seated and waiting 7 minutes before start, apart from those who arrived after starting time. Interval far too long. 15 minutes maximum would have allowed everyone including band to refresh. Most importantly it is the responsibility of management to ensure that masks are worn. Those who prefer to mask cannot be expected to ask those who have removed their masks and are shouting, to put them back on. This is the responsibility of management.

Absolutely enjoyed it. Will definitely be back for another show.

Great show.Fun!

A bit too much heavy metal. Other was very entertaining.

guitar solos were a little it long, otherwise FANTASTIC!!!

I'll put it down to age but, while I compliment the performers on their ability, especially Andy Murray, I found the show incredibly noisy and somewhat repetitive. Genevieve

Fantastic show!! The talent is world class

Very enjoyable afternoon. Well done|

Preferred the first half of the show

The show was great - 3.5 However, I was a disappointed about too much emphasis on the Rolling Stones. There are many artists who could have been added, for example more of the original Beatles songs, The Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.....

Brilliant!!!

Stunning, intimate and personal...loved it.

Excellent!!! Professional and entertaining. Comfortable seating. Perfect time-span of show. Good sound and lighting effects. The biggest compliment comes from the 10-year-old child, who was enthralled in the vibes and crowd entertainment - which was a first for him. A definite 10/10 Many thanks to all concerned

in a word, brilliant

Absolutely fantastic!!!!Can recommend the performance to anybody and will LOVE to see them again!!

Wonderful show, with great stage personalities

Such the best show!! Very professional and wonderful memories of all the favorites ❤

The repertoire was lacking... They could have included many more famous bands/stars.

No vocalist.. A pity.. Too much heavy metal

I have seen Duck Chowles previously but I felt the show disappointing. Didn't enjoy the selection of songs and thought they were a bit sloppy or unprepared?

Lovely evening! Some sound/tuning issues initially but improved. Second half absolutely fantastic. Great trip down memory lane

WOW - THE BEST YET I HAVE SEEN AT THE DRAMA FACTORY. What a stunning group. These guys are a cut above the rest. Well trained by Mike McCulley. They really gave me goose-bumps. Duck Chowles is an amaizing entertainer and as for Andy Murray he must still rate as one of the finest solo guitarist ever produced in South Africa, PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!! THEY WILL ALWAYS PLAY TO PACKED AUDIENCES ...Thank You Robbie Dallas-Orr

Outstanding!!! Always a good show. Fantastic music....loved it to bits

Excellent entertainment which our group of 4 all thoroughly enjoyed!! Rock on Drama factory
