Wipe Out – The Music of The Shadows and More

International electric violinist Rupert Guenther performs with an all-star band, playing the music of The Shadows and famous instrumentals from 1960s surf culture.

This music came to epitomise the soundtrack of many people’s lives as well as the beach lifestyle of the era. Riding waves, days in the hot summer sun and nights relaxing under the stars are captured in hits such as Apache, Sleepwalk and Wipe Out.

Rupert has performed with Olivia Newton- John, Beatles producer Sir George Martin, John Farnham and Demis Roussos. With a talented backup band, Rupert uses his dazzling skills on the electric violin to create an evocative and family friendly, all-ages show.
