Blue Lights actor shows his nostalgic rock n roll side with Soda Popz Antrim gig
When he’s not playing ‘dodgy’ solicitor Aodhan McAllister in hit BBC NI show ‘Blue Lights’, actor Matt Forsythe is rocking it up with Ireland’s top 1950s/60s band, The Soda Popz!
And appropriately enough, Matt and the Soda Popz are set to appear in the Old Courthouse in Antrim on Friday, February 20.
The Soda Popz is a sensational seven-piece live band featuring some of Northern Ireland’s top musicians and vocalists. Paying an authentic tribute to the hottest hits from the fabulous 50s and swinging 60s, this nostalgic show will have you singing along and dancing in the aisles with music from iconic artists such as Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, The Drifters, Connie Francis, Chuck Berry and many more!
Fronted by husband Matt and his wife Michelle Baird, this is a special event for Michelle who spent her childhood years in Antrim.
“We’re very excited to bring our show to the Old Courthouse! Our wonderful audiences, many of whom come decked out in full 50s attire, are always on their feet from the first bars of music and everyone has such a great night,” she said.
“The music, the fashion and the stories of the dance halls were fascinating and as child I used to watch my parents constantly jive in the kitchen. I also loved seeing pictures of my mum and her sisters in their fabulous dresses, which inspired me to create The Soda Popz – a perfect excuse to dress up and sing all those iconic songs."
