Nostalgia rules at Carnglaze!
The band that shook the world back in 1964 have re-invented themselves …quality and distinct sound that was, and still is, The Animals…” (Barry Kirk, Romford Recorder)
Featuring from the original Animals –
JOHN STEEL & MICK GALLAGHER (The Blockheads, The Clash, Paul McCartney
John E. Williamson (TITANIC)
Peter Barton (Wayne Fontana's MINDBENDERS)
Having toured extensively together in the past, October 2008 sees a fantastic package touring the UK, coupling The Animals & Friends and Special Guests Herman’s Hermits on what promises to be a fantastic night of pop and R&B.
Over to Barry Whitwam, one of the founder members of Herman’s Hermits and who played on all the groups’ US and UK Number One hits and more: “ We are really looking forward to touring again with The Animals & Friends, as we toured Sweden with them for seven weeks in the last two years and the show was a great success. We can’t wait to bring the show back to the UK”. Whitwam is the sole original member, who has lead the group since the start of the new millennium.
In fact, Barry’s connection with The Animals goes way back to when both bands toured the USA and Canada in 1966 – when The Animals were support act to Herman’s Hermits. We don’t have the full story, but it certainly sounded like great times for two young British bands abroad – including one occasion Barry recalls, having something to do with “ ...Eric Burdon and Chas Chandler, a large amount of marijuana, a coffee grinder, Canadian National Guardsmen and a pair of German Shepherd sniffer dogs...”. We look forward to Barry’s book, which is almost complete.

 THE ANIMALS & FRIENDS
The enduring breadth of appeal and influence of The Animals in 2008 is best exemplified by just a snapshot of 2007 - a fairly typical year for The Animals & Friends - which saw the band headlining Gloucester Blues Festival, storming The Rebellion Punk Festival in Blackpool, seizing the day at a Midlands rock festival with ex-Scorpions guitarist, Michael Shenker, playing London’s 100 Club (twice) and brought the roof down in Ipswich alongside Wishbone Ash and Focus. . In between they embarked on a massive UK tour with Special Guest Spencer Davis – which also played extensive dates in Scandinavia, where the band are regulars. Add to that their ‘usual’ extensive shows across Europe and I think the point is made!
HERMAN’S HERMITS
Herman’s Hermits are one of the most successful groups throughout the world. Even Elvis Presley was a fan Since the departure of Peter Noone in 1971 to pursue a solo career, original member Barry ‘The Bean’ Whitwam has guided the group from strength to strength, still averaging more than 200 one-night stands per year. Their touring schedule takes them to Germany, Belgium, Scandinavia, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The ‘Golden Oldies’ still make up a large part of their show, much to the enjoyment of their fans who still can’t resist songs like ‘Mrs Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter’, ‘Henry Vlll’, ‘Silhouettes’ and ‘Dandy’.
