When we were young we'd listen to the radio, waiting for our favourite songs. Now they're back again, like a long-lost friend, all the song we loved so well. . . The UK's leading Carpenters show, featuring the amazing voice of Maggie Nestor and eight top-class musicians, captures the sights and sounds of the amazing talents of Richard and Karen Carpenter.
Karen's silky contralto is combined with Richard's delightful piano and seamless harmonies in this big production that brings Close to You, We've only Just Begun, Top of the World, Rainy Days and Mondays, Solitaire, Goodbye to Love, Please Mr Postman, For All We Know, Only Yesterday and dozens more classic songs to the stage.
The Carpenters Experience is coming to town for an evening of non-stop hits - it's yesterday once more...
