THE STORY
31st December 1969
All at once, before jumping onto the stage, five daring musicians disappear from the dressing room of an obscure club. No more news of them, victims of a super secret plan: hibernated to capture the essence of a golden era and send it to the future....
1st January 2016
In a forgotten basement, a sudden black-out turns off the machines where the five bold musicians sleep unaware.
Slowly, the awakening...
Everything has changed...
All the have are their musical instruments and their "mod" suits...
All they can do is to play the songs of their present (the fabulous 60s) and those of their past (the roaring 50s).

We usually use a monitor to amplify one vintage looking microphone that we use to introduce the band, the songs and to talk with the audience/guests.
We have a small set of led lights. If required, we can also provide a video projector to project 50s and 60s photos.
Therefore, if this equipment is required we need power sockets.
This can be arranged.
