The
classic 'VAMPIRES ROCKS' - The Final Countdown Tour!
FOR many, this
time of year is fun and exciting, with gifts bought, trees trimmed
and food shopping all planned. But for some, the struggle is on to
come up with a great idea, a surprise gift or something just a
little unusual... Fear not for help is at hand, why not buy your
loved ones, friends, partner (or yourself) a ticket for the hardest
rocking, funniest (and just a little bit naughty) show in Town; so
take note that Steve Steinman's Vampires
Rocks, is coming to the
Liverpool Empire on 2 February 2015. The show, for those who have
not been before, is set in the year 2030, centres on the undead
Baron Von Rockula, the owner of the Live and Let Die nightclub, and
his quest to find a new bride. Ably supported by the Lost Boys and
his manservant, Bossley, the Baron (the uber talented Steve
Steinman) rocks his way through hit after hit, with Meatloaf, AC/DC,
Bonny Tyler, Rainbow, Guns 'n' Roses, Queen, Bon Jovi, and many more
providing the vocal ammunition as he attempts to 1st woo and then
capture the seemingly innocent Pandora. It's easy to see why
this show has been a sell out for years; pyrotechnics, some very
sexy dancers and the best live rock show in the UK all go to create
an unforgettable night. The show is a riot from start to finish;
Steve's talent and humour making no 2 shows the same and, by the
time the final curtain falls the audience will have spent most of
the evening on their feet, dancing, singing along and having an
amazing time. So if you love rock music (or know someone who
does), if you fancy an amazing evening of fun and laughter, and if
