The uk's oldest seniors' rock chorus and band!
Life begins at 70!
Formed in 2007, Virginia Water based "The Wonderyears" are believed to be the UK’s only seniors rock chorus and band having performed to many full capacity audiences including a number of festivals such as Guilfest and Wokingham and have been filmed for national television. They beat 60,000 other acts by reaching the quarter finals of the 2012 Britain’s Got Talent show and appeared on BBC2’s Eggheads competition. Since their formation, The Wonderyears have raised thousands of pounds for charities.
With an average age of over 70 and the oldest at over 90, the traditional view of grandparents is soon shattered when they start to belt out hard rock and punk as well as contemporary pop.
Founder and Musical Director, Dave Thomas, says that "life truly begins at 70". "The Wonderyears demonstrate very powerfully that just because you qualify for a bus pass and a winter fuel allowance, you are not over the hill". "Their performances are both inspirational and entertaining and leave audiences with the feel good factor."
