‘‘‘I know that people love the Dr Hook sound on those original recordings.’’

Dr Hook Double CD – Timeless. Dennis Locorriere presents DR HOOK– Walk Right In Tour – Performing: ASB Baypark Arena, Tauranga Tuesday May 23, 7.30pm & Aotea Centre, Auckland Wednesday May 24, 7.30pm

That’s right folks, we have a copy of the Dr. Hook double CD Timeless up for grabs featuring all that is good about Dr. Hook as the ideal precursor to one of the most anticipate­d tours to grace kiwi stages in 2017

Back by unpreceden­ted popular demand after their 2015 tour sold out across the country in double quick time Dr. Hook is ready to have you reliving old memories and making new ones as you rock out to their timeless classics

Dr Hook are still led by original lead vocalist, the legendary Dennis Locorriere, whose unique voice on such memorable No. 1 hits Sylvia’s Mother and Sexy Eyes, made the band world famous. (Many mistakenly believe that Ray Sawyer, the chap with the eye patch was the lead singer but it was in fact Locorriere (Low-CorEe-Air), as any amount of YouTube clips will confirm. Sawyer was primarily a backing vocalist and occasional percussion­ist)

Those two songs are just the tip of the iceberg of what fans can expect in a 2.5 hour concert which features all of their timeless classics, such as Cover Of The Rolling Stone, Only Sixteen, Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk, Walk Right In, The Millionair­e, When You’re In Love with A Beautiful Woman, A Little Bit More, Sharing the Night Together, The Ballad of Lucy Jordan, Better Love Next Time, I Got Stoned And I Missed It, Girls Can Get It, Everybody’s Making It Big But Me and The Millionair­e. All performed how you remember them sounding from the voice who recorded them – Dennis Locorriere.

They’re all included on our featured album

So if you were one of the multitude of Kiwis who rocked away to one of the best bands of the ‘70s and reconnecte­d with them in 2015 – here’s your chance to do it once again!

Dennis Locorriere says it best: ‘‘I know that people love the Dr Hook sound on those original recordings and that’s what we’re bringing back to them, just the way they remember it and want to hear it performed live’’.

Whether you decide to cross the Bombays or the Kaimais you’ll be entering a different world. A world where time stands still and where timeless music presented as only Dennis Locorriere can will take you back to those special times locked deep within your heart and soul.

So walk right in, sit right down and baby let your mind roll on – Dr Hook is in the house - it’s party time.
