Stoke-on-Trent celebrates '70s duo

An acclaimed venue in Stoke-on-Trent will present a show telling the tale of a famous brother and sister band from the 1970s.

Music fans keen to welcome the spring of ‘22 with some ‘70s sounds will find an upcoming show entitled “The Carpenters Story” an unmissable opportunity at Stoke-on-Trent’s Victoria Hall. Live music and theatrical venues often use professional poster printing services to create one-sheets to display in their foyers, advertising future acts performing.

The Stoke-on-Trent show will present the musical story of Karen and Richard Carpenter, whose music is synonymous with the decade in which they first earned critical success. The performance features the musical direction of Phil Aldridge who leads the Carpenter’s Story band and showcases the vocal abilities of singer Claire Furley. Able to capture Karen Carpenter’s distinctive contralto, Furley has received numerous accolades for her tribute to the singer.

The Evening Standard publication commented:



“Phenomenal vocals and great musicianship.”




Those attending the spring concert will get the chance to appreciate a wide array of classic tracks from the Carpenters, no doubt including “Please Mr. Postman”, “We’ve Only Just Begun”, “Top of the World”, “I Won’t Last a Day Without You” and “Close to You.”

The Carpenters Story will be on stage at Victoria Hall, on Bagnall Street in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday, April 9 from 7:30 pm. Ticket prices start at £13.
