These talented musicians behind Seven Decades are returning to Wilton’s, promising another night of a fascinating, inspirational and humorous musical journey through the last 70 years, guided by the Fender Telecaster, the Gibson Les Paul, the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson ES 335. If you were lucky enough to see last year's sell-out shows, you’ll be beating a path to our door to carry on where Songs and Stories left off. If you didn't, now’s your chance to find out what you missed, with the added bonus of a host of new additions and dimensions as the band have developed this absorbing show into its next incarnation.

Sticking to the original formula and telling the chronological story of these iconic instruments that shaped modern music, Mike and the boys have introduced yet more magnificent guitars from the 1960s. Their virtuosity is now enhanced by two live vocalists as well as a special pre-recorded guest appearance from the distinctive voice of Huey Morgan (BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music and frontman of Fun Lovin' Criminals). This time, the band will present the work of all the guitar masters plus new artists such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Tom Morello, illuminated by a backdrop of films, animations and responsive visuals.

In other words: Seven Decades just got even better!
