The show accurately captures the essence of Joe Cocker by recreating his tour from the 70’s, complete with long hair, then incorporating a modern influence as the finale approaches by portraying the Cocker as he is today – mature, classy and professional. A huge finale ensues as the band pumps out such classic hits as You Are So Beautiful, With A Little Help From My Friends, The Letter & You Can Leave Your Hat On.
Joe Cocker has enthralled audiences for more than 25 years. During this time he has continually played to sell out concerts worldwide. The Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour has drawn its inspiration from over 20 albums of songs, documentary footage and film clips.
Like Joe, Allan ‘Cocker’ Edmondson, was born in the north of England. He began singing professionally at about the same time as Cocker and has performed with the likes of Colleen Hewitt, Denise Drysdale, Johnny O'Keefe, John Farnham, Billy Thorpe, Julie Anthony, Lucky Starr, Col Joy and Dave Allen. His brilliant interpretation of voice and persona have been critically acclaimed by audiences in both Sydney, nationally and internationally.
Mad Dogs and Englishmen Millennium Tour is tailored for club audiences and held in high regard as the Cocker Experience Down Under.
(As a warm up to the show, Cocker Down Under also offer their fans an entertaining support set fronted by the ‘pocket rocket’, female vocalist, Kaye James, featuring a mix of popular songs from the 60’s to the 90’s! Some tunes included are:- River Deep Mountain High, We Are Family, Let’s Get Loud, Rescue Me, Pink Cadillac, Superstitious and Band Of Gold.)
