Atlantis
is a well established group of singers/musicians who cover
the really good popular ‘tried and tested’ classic
hits from the last 5 decades and today, providing a very
broad repertoire and performing songs by top artists such
as Cliff Richard, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The
Rolling Stones, Buddy Holly, Fleetwood Mac, Abba and Oasis. By focussing
on 50’s, 60’s, Rock n Roll, silver sounds from
the 70’s, and some more recent artists from the 80s,
90’s and 2000’s - for example Wet Wet
Wet, Boyzone KT Tunstall and Amy McDonald – the group’s music
easily SPANS THE GENERATIONS! Atlantis can also include a
wide selection of country, pop, folk, etc. and the band is
very happy to tailor its set lists to satisfy the requirements
of an event if requested. It is also very likely that a favourite
song for a special occasion can be included (such as a ‘first
dance’ for a wedding).
Atlantis performs at many public
events. The group’s
8th sell-out concert of their own at The Epsom Playhouse
Myers Studio Theatre in October 2009 was probably their best
yet and another is booked for 2nd October 2010. The band
has also appeared on the main stage at the venue alongside
world renowned opera singer, Juliette Pochin. Atlantis also
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.
Atlantis 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,
Summer and Autumn
Festivals, Reigate’s
Priory Park Summer Festival 2009 (3,000 attended) and played to an audience
of thousands at the main Epsom town Christmas lights switch
on celebrations beside the landmark Clock Tower in the main
square. Other regular local public appearances include Leatherhead’s The Swan Centre,
Epsom’s market
square and during the
summer of 2009 they drew a massive crowd there. For the last
two years, they have had shoppers dancing in the street in
the middle of Kingston town centre for the big May Day celebrations
(see YouTube links)! The group performed to 3,000 at Reigate’s
Priory Park Summer Festival 2009 and cheered up shoppers
in the rain at ‘A Taste of Epsom’ in
November!
2010 brings another packed schedule of similar
public and private events and for the second time Atlantis
performed
for the Mayor of Epsom and Ewell’s Civic Dinner
Dance,
which was a huge success. The group was booked by special
request of the Mayor herself!
ATLANTIS is honoured to be
endorsed by the Surrey
Federation of WI’s and has been added to
their Year Book with recommendation – following a
very rigorous audition and selection process! The band
has as a result continues
to perform at WI socials across the county.. 
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 the group was truly delighted to be
presented
with one of these
very special awards by the borough's then Mayor, Cllr. David
Wood. Atlantis was nominated by The Epsom Playhouse for the
group’s 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 has made two acoustic performances on BBC
Southern Counties Radio, including a one hour long interview and performance
slot on the Sylvie Blackmore Sunday Afternoon Show. The group
performed 6 songs and were promptly invited back for the
Christmas show for a festive performance of 4 more songs.
The group put together a local teenage choir to back them.
The
group has twice performed at the hugely popular and extremely
well attended annual Ashtead Village Day charity
event (more than 22,000 visitors attended) and have already
been booked to perform at the next one on Saturday, 12th
June, becoming something of a permanent fixture! Organisers The Rotary Club of Ashtead has
booked Atlantis to perform at it’s annual Christmas
Ball for the second year running.
Atlantis is always very
pleased to perform at ‘select’ public
houses, including The Chequers pub in Walton on the Hill,
The White Horse Pub in Epsom, The
Cock Horse in Headley,
The Kings Arms, Epsom and The Game
Cock in Worcester Park.
Atlantis still finds time
to fit in many corporate, 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 stately homes, 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.
Potential clients are more than welcome to see the band
in rehearsal at their studio in Kingswood, Surrey by arrangement.
Excellent references can also be supplied on request.
