Famed Pop Singer Kenny Lynch Joins THE RAT PACK IS BACK At Wyvern Theatre, March 14

Kenny Lynch, one of the UK's best loved all-round entertainers, will make a guest appearance during The Rat Pack Is Back at the Wyvern Theatre.

Kenny Lynch was one of the relatively-few Black singers on the British pop scene in the early 1960s. He made the top ten a couple of times in 1963 with a cover of the Drifters' Up On The Roof and his own composition You Can Never Stop Me Loving You.

Kenny was on the same bill as The Beatles during the group's first British tour, which was headlined by Helen Shapiro. Whilst on the coach John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote Misery. Originally the song was offered to Helen but she decided it was not for her, so Kenny said he would put it on the new album he was recording at the time. Misery became the first cover of a Beatles song to be released. Kenny remained great friends with the Fab Four and years later appeared on the album cover of Wings’ 1973 album Band On The Run.

An accomplished songwriter, Kenny Lynch’s songs have been recorded by The Drifters, The Everly Brothers, Cilla Blackand Dusty Springfield. He also co-authored Sha La La La Lee, The Small Faces' first British top ten hit.

He has performed as a singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor, as well as in comedy and now audiences can see him performs at the Wyvern Theatre.

The Rat Pack is Back, with special guest Kenny Lynch performs at the Wyvern on Wednesday 14 March 7.30pm. Book tickets at wyverntheatre.org.uk or by calling the Ticket Office on 01793 524 481.
