Classic Series: Hysteria by Def Leppard!
Thu 12 October at 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Local musicians Dave Webb, Danielle Pearce, Robert D’Hyon, Mark Bradbury and Paul Burge are teaming up to recreate a ROCK masterpiece….
HYSTERIA by DEF LEPPARD.
Widely regarded as one of the best albums to emerge from the “hair metal” scene that dominated popular music in the 1980’s the 4th album from English rock band DEF LEPPARD was released in August 1987, has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and spawned no less than 7 hit singles!
Produced by the legendary Robert John “Mutt” Lange (AC/DC’s Back in Black), HYSTERIA took 3 years to make and was plagued by delays including the aftermath of drummer Rick Allen’s car accident that resulted in the amputation of one arm.
Dave, Danielle, Rob, Mark and Paul are avid Def Leppard fans and have been working hard to recreate the sound that made HYSTERIA such an enduring and much loved classic.
The album will be performed in its entirety followed by a handful of hit songs from DEF LEPPARD’s back catalogue.
Set times:
Doors open: 6pm
Band: 7:30pm
*Timing is approximate & subject to change
*Over 18’s only
*No furry friends
