About the show
Relive the golden age of pop with Herman’s Hermits, one of the most successful and beloved bands of the 1960s. With a career that includes meeting Elvis Presley, being supported by The Who on their American tours, and selling over 84 million records worldwide, Herman’s Hermits remain a true icon of British pop music.
Formed in Manchester in 1964, Herman’s Hermits became a defining part of the teenage revolution that transformed modern Britain. Under the guidance of legendary producer Mickie Most, the band shot to international fame with their multi-million-selling No.1 debut hit “I’m Into Something Good”, launching a run of 23 hit records and global chart success.
Their popularity extended far beyond the charts. Herman’s Hermits starred in three feature films, made countless television appearances worldwide, and famously appeared five times on The Ed Sullivan Show — a rare achievement that cemented their status in music history. They also performed at prestigious events such as The Royal Variety Performance.
Today, the band continues to tour to great acclaim, led by original drummer Barry Whitwam, who still brings the music, humour, and unmistakable sound of Herman’s Hermits to audiences of all ages. Their live shows are packed with timeless hits including “Mrs Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” “There’s a Kind of Hush,” and “I’m Into Something Good,” alongside fan favourites that defined a generation.
