For many years Alan Mosca was Freddie Garrity’s right hand man in The Dreamers, however Alan will be stepping up to the front of the stage when he compère's The Sensational 60s Experience at St David’s Hall this November.

“I enjoy that, possibly more now than I do playing with the Dreamers,” Alan tells me, “I love that role because a lot of these were heroes of mine anyway. To get the opportunity like I did last year working with Chris Farlowe, who was an absolute superstar and Steve Ellis from The Love Affair, one of the first mods. He was so prominent and well known not only on the 60s circuit but also the Northern soul circuit.”

“On one of the shows last year Steve brought Paul Weller with him which was quite remarkable. There was me singing Hey Baby which we do to have a bit of fun and I looked down and there was Paul Weller clapping his hands. It was bizarre. I said to my grandchildren," You know what? I've never seen Paul Weller live but he’s seen me!””

Alan will be keeping order as acts such as Herman’s Hermits, The Swinging Blue Jeans, Union Gap UK, The Ivy League and Dave Berry step up onto the stage and thinks the show will be great fun for all 1960s aficionados.

“It will be hard to follow next year,” he says of the annual music show, “because number after number everybody knows that any one of those boys can do 20 minutes of their hits.”

The 50th Anniversary concert commences at 7.30pm and tickets are available from the box office on 02920 878 444 or online at www.stdavidshallcardiff.co.uk
