ATLANTIS is
a well established group of singers/musicians who cover
the really good popular
classic hits from the last 5 decades and today. With such a broad
repertoire, including hits by older established artists such as
Cliff Richard, Elvis, The Beatles, The Carpenters, Abba, Tony
Christie, and more recent singers KT Tunstall, Shania Twain, Oasis, Scissor Sisters ie. general 50’s-00’s hits (we
can go back further if required), and rock ‘n’ roll, country, pop,
folk, etc., the band is very happy to tailor their set lists to
satisfy the requirements of any event. It is also very likely that a
requested song for a special occasion can be included.
During the last year or
so, ATLANTIS has performed at many public events including two more
sell-out concerts of their own at The Epsom Playhouse Myers
Studio Theatre and appeared on the main stage at the venue
alongside world renowned opera singer, Juliette Pochin at the
Rotary Club of Ewell’s ‘Music For Pleasure’ variety show. The
band performed with Ray Stiles of The Hollies at Ewell’s ‘Herald
of Spring’ event and Ray also joined their open air concert at
the village’s Summer Street Party. They have filled the Mezz Bar
in Leatherhead, performed at the Leatherhead Theatre Drama
Festival in the company of Sir Michael Caine, headlined
at Epsom’s Picnic In the Park, Derby and Autumn
Festivals, entertained shoppers several times in The Mall
Ashley and played to an audience of thousands at the big
Epsom town Christmas lights switch on celebrations in December
beside the landmark Clock Tower in the main square. Other
appearances included The Swan Centre for
Leatherhead’s Christmas Lights Festival and at the same
location for Red Nose Day/Comic Relief in March - when the
group had shoppers dancing around their carrier bags in the
precinct, plus Epsom market place again for Age Concern’s
anniversary promotion day!
At the end of 2006,
ATLANTIS was honoured to be endorsed by the Surrey Federation of
WI’s and have since been added to their Year Book with
recommendation – following a very rigorous audition and selection
process! The band has as a result been hired to perform numerous
times at their meetings and socials.
On Thursday,
19th April, 2007 ATLANTIS was privileged to be invited to attend the
Borough of Epsom and Ewell's annual Voluntary Service Awards
ceremony at the Town Hall and were truly delighted to be presented
with one of these very special awards by the borough's then Mayor,
Cllr. David Wood. They were nominated by The
Epsom Playhouse for their contribution to fund raising and the
support of many charity events and organisations at the venue and
throughout the borough, plus their continued work with the elderly.
ATLANTIS still finds time
to fit in many private and charity performances for all kinds of
functions including dinner dances, weddings, anniversaries,
birthdays, plus Christmas, Easter and summer parties and barbecues –
in locations as diverse as theatres, front rooms, private gardens,
municipal parks, marquees, town squares and high streets, also
restaurants, pubs, golf and country clubs, residential homes for the
elderly and hospitals.
A fourth ‘sold out’
concert at The Epsom Playhouse Myers Studio Theatre took
place in May 2007, and the band was re-booked for their own
Christmas Special there on 15th December
which was another sell-out and outstanding success.
2007 ended with two
acoustic performances on BBC Southern Counties Radio,
including a one hour long interview and performance slot on the
Sylvie Blackmore Sunday Afternoon Show. Atlantis performed 6
songs and were promptly invited back for the Christmas show for a
festive performance of 4 more songs on 23rd December. The
group put together a local teenage choir to back them.
2008
Atlantis will perform
again at Ewell Village’s popular annual Herald of Spring
event at Bourne Hall on 8th and 9th March -
at lunchtime in the main hall (both days)
On 14th June,
the group will also be appearing at the hugely popular annual
Ashtead Village Day charity event to an expected audience of at
least 6,000 visitors.
The
band is also able to cater for the smaller and more intimate
events by performing as a 3 vocal/3 guitar trio.
Potential clients are more than welcome to see the band in rehearsal
at their studio in Kingswood, Surrey by arrangement on 01737 362666.
