Evening with Classic Clapton – Eric Clapton Tribute Band from UK at Park Street Mews tomorrow!

An evening with Classic Clapton, the world’s No. 1 Eric Clapton Tribute Band, featuring front-man Mike Hall, will be performing at Stables, Park Street Mews, Colombo tomorrow (Saturday 18 March) from 7:30 p.m. onwards. The special opening band for the event is none other than Flame – with Naushad and his teamster proceeds towards Trail Project.

This will be Classic Clapton’s first visit to Sri Lanka. They will perform all of Eric Clapton’s classic songs including Wonderful Tonight, Tears in Heaven, Crossroads, I Shot The Sheriff, Cocaine, Lay Down Sally and of course Layla! Along with an ‘Unplugged’ segment. In guitar/vocalist Mike Hall, the band possesses a front man who not only looks like Eric, he sings and plays guitar like him too 

The band was formed in 1985 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, the home-town of The Animals, Mark Knopfler and Sting. In the past 32 years Classic Clapton has become something of a rock institution.

The band comprises four excellent musicians: Mike Hall (lead vocals/guitar), Derek Wilson (keyboards/backing vocals), Danny Davison (drums) and Dave Robson (bass guitar/backing vocals). 

“Eric is now in his ’70s. We understand that he has never performed in Sri Lanka. If Sri Lankan fans want to hear all of his hits performed authentically, we hope to see them at this special evening, as whole of Clapton’s illustrious career will be covered,” said Mike Hall.

‘Evening with Classic Clapton’ is organised by Park Street Mews and Harpos Pizza & Pasta with Cinnamon Hotel & Resorts as Event Partners along with Commercial Bank and Com Bank Max Loyalty, and radio partner TNL and Lite FM with proceeds towards Trail project.
