“These Dublin Lads are celebrating their 50th year in Showbusiness. Yep, we started in short pants … honest. Recently we released our latest album ‘Swinging Bachelors’. In 2008 we had TWO Gold Albums … been at Number 5 in the Radio One Album chart and number 6 in the ‘Value’ charts, and Number 2 in The Irish Charts, outselling U2.

Brothers Con and Dec Cluskey, founder members of The Bachelors, were the first of the ‘Irish Boy Bands’ to invade Britain’s shores in 1962. We managed to outsell ‘The Beatles’ in 1964 and 1965. Beatles scored 55 weeks in the charts of 1964 and Bachelors scored 77!

Recently we have been all over the TV with our hit album which was No. 5 in The Album Charts, starred in our own show at The North Pier Blackpool, played New York for a fantastic ‘Doo-wop’ weekend, played three weeks at the Opera House Blackpool and played The Festival Hall in London.

We look forward to meeting you on our first visit to Market Drayton.”
