The Drifters
With over 65 members in over 60 years, the brand continues today with the only official line up in the world. This high-energy show brings many of the greatest hits along with newer material, guaranteed to bring a musical extravaganza along with a world-class band, production and some very smooth moves!
The Drifters were founded in June 1953, 60 years ago by George Treadwell and Ahmet Ertegun - founder of Atlantic Records. Since their creation the band has featured over 65 vocalists, including icons such as Clyde McPhatter, Ben E King and Johnny Moore. Some of the legends returned to perform alongside the current line-up at a unique concert at the O2 arena in 2009.
With the exception of the much loved icon Johnny Moore, the current line up is the only complete line up in the group's history to have recorded on both of the group's historic labels - Atlantic Records with the release in 2009 of Five Decades & Moore and, in 2011 on Sony Music.
