"Secret Agents of the British Invasion!"
right then, on with the shows.....
No events currently scheduled. Check back soon!
.....come on, it'll be a smash!!!!
the ifstory.....
imagine if - At a school dance, you hear Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis for the first time. The following day instruments are purchased and a band is born.
imagine if - Your slightly off his rocker uncle allows you to play in his pub for tips. Within weeks a line out the door every Saturday and no room to move inside. Fast forward a year and now you are the single most popular pub band in England.
imagine if - A record contract is offered, but while en route to file the copyrights at the patent office, the drummer is mugged and the manuscripts are stolen.
imagine if - Conspiracy! Suddenly the contract is rescinded, you’re banned from the BBC, and a battle with the transport union makes it impossible to tour. Within a short time, you are forgotten.
imagine if - Songs very similar to those stolen, become hits for a new generation of British bands, some of whom become some of the most successful recording artists of all time.
imagine if - After many years, a lone manuscript surfaces, providing the link between the wrongs of the past and the mysterious disappearance of the ifs.
So began their mission as the Secret Agents of the British Invasion…to infiltrate each city and town with the style that was once theirs alone. "You may not know our names, but you’ll remember the sound".

Party for the Parks

Hey folks. Our annual show for the Olmsted Parks Conservancy is fast approaching. Voted “Best Fundraiser” by Spree magazine, Party for the Parks is a great celebration for the Buffalo Olmsted Park System. The Friday night event features live music with hors d’oeuvres, desserts and beverages presented by Western New York’s best chefs, bakers and restaurants, as well as an impressive basket and silent auction.
The Skiffle Minstels, The Headers and The Ifs will perform from a floating stage placed over Hoyt Lake. Party for the Parks is an indoor/outdoor, over-21 party overlooking the 350-acre Olmsted-designed Delaware Park, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Hoyt Lake and the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society. One of the best scenic views in Buffalo!
Tickets can be purchased by calling the Conservancy (after July 30) at 838-1249 ext. 30. Pre-sale General Admission tickets are $25. Week of the event, General Admission tickets are $30.
