‘Let The Good Times Roll’ tells with real energy the history of rock ‘n’ roll from its inception in 1955 when Alan Freed coined the phrase, to 1960 a year by which time Elvis had been inducted into the army, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper were all dead and Jerry Lee Lewis had been blacklisted for marrying his 13 year old cousin.

Featuring acclaimed boogie woogie pianist and singer Peter Gill with his band, the sensational STATE 51, the show is yet again taking theatres by storm with its breath-taking and unrelenting energy.

Peter Gill has appeared all over the world and has been heralded as the UK’s hottest new boogie woogie talent. In 1999 he was hand-picked from a national search to co-open Jool’s Holland’s Jam House in Birmingham as one of the two famed ‘Duelling Pianists’. Since then he has been in constant demand on the cabaret and corporate circuit but it is on the theatre stage that he is most at home and pounding the keys to such classics as ‘Great Balls of Fire’, ‘Johnny B Goode’, ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, ‘Rock Around The Clock’ and ‘Chantilly Lace’ is what he undoubtedly does best. Joined by his band STATE 51 this is a show not to be missed by anyone with a rhythmic bone in their body.
