Established in Swindon, Wiltshire in 2007, The Saga Louts revisit their musically formative years from the late ‘50s to the early ‘70s.
Generally considered to be the ‘golden era’ of rock and roll in the UK, this period saw the birth of numerous British bands who dominated the pop charts and led to what became known as the ‘British Invasion’ of the US musical scene in the mid-sixties. The Saga Louts re-create the authentic sound of many of these bands together with some of the American rock and roll artists of the time.
The result is an evening of ‘feel good’ musical nostalgia and dancing, not to be missed by those who were there at the time and like to re-live their youth or by a younger generation who appreciate the sounds that still stand the test of time.
