'ROCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR' reaches its special milestone this year, touring the U.K. for ten 'ROCKIN' years, bringing sheer enjoyment to everyone who sees this uplifting show. As one lady from Gwent recently commented, 'at 63 years old, this is the best show I have ever seen in South Wales and I can't wait to see it again'! Back in 2004, the show reached new heights with a ground-breaking tour of Europe. Ever since then, it has returned many times, gaining a whole new following of Dutch, German and Austrian fans. During the same year, 'ROCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR' took King's Lynn by storm, performing before a 10,000 strong audience in the Tuesday Market Place Square for the town's popular annual event, Festival Too. This marked the beginning of many successful, big outdoor events. Each year, ROHD plays to an audience in excess of 2,500 at The Edinburgh Playhouse where the show has a phenomenal following of Scottish fans. ROHD has also appeared on Ulster television, in the New Year's Eve edition of The Kelly Show, and more recently, ITV1's new quiz programme 'THE MINT'. In their review of all the summer shows at Blackpool, Stage Magazine said that top honours must go to 'ROCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR'. The line-up consists of Steve Halliday (Eddie Cochran), Dave Wickenden (Buddy Holly), Barry Steele (Roy Orbison), J S Rawlings (The Big Bopper), Richard Atkins (Elvis Presley) not forgetting guest star, Jerry Lee Lewis (Darren Green) with his amazing 'flaming' piano. After Jerry's 'Great Balls Of Fire' there is no one better than The Big Bopper to get the show off to a rousing start - the audience love his rendition of 'Chantilly Lace' - he soon has them all singing along! He is followed by leather-clad heart-throb Eddie Cochran who has the ladies eating out of his hand with the classics, 'Twenty Flight Rock'and 'Hallelujah, I Love Her So'. Steve Halliday's mastery of the guitar is somethin' else. He is followed by 'Buddy Holly' who skips his way energetically across the stage wielding his Fender Stratocaster with style - he gives an animated performance full of life, oozing vitality and energy. Closing the first half of the show to thunderous applause, is 'Roy Orbison' with his spelling-binding rendition of 'Crying'. 2001 heralds The King, (Richard Atkins) who strides on stage to dominate the second half with his reincarnation of 70's Elvis. 'During an utterly memorable 'Love Me' Elvis set off round the theatre with the roving mike, shaking hands and giving away scarves to the fans, including one lady who I swear would have climbed over the heads of the rest of the audience to give him a kiss!'(Guide & Gazette - Broughty Ferry). Towards the end of the show, the four legends appear together for their breathtaking version of 'American Trilogy' in a dream supergroup finale guaranteed to leave the audience asking 'When will they be back?'
