Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits brought the sounds of the British Invasion as well as some yuletide cheer to Robins Theatre on Thursday night.

​

Noone, the former lead singer of Herman's Hermits opened the show with one of the bands biggest hits, "I'm Into Something Good" and proceeded to play a variety of hits from Herman's Hermits and other mid 1960's era bands.  Songs like "Love Potion #9" "Sea Cruise," "Daydream Believer" and The Beatles "All My Loving" sounded fantastic and fit nicely into the set.

​

Peter and his backing band were dressed for the occasion as two of the band members were dressed as elves, one was Santa and the drummer wore a Christmas tree hat for the enitire show.  Noone was dresses sharply with a proper top hat, plaid scarf and matching bow tie.

​

Throughout the set, the band would sprinkle in  a few Christmas songs like "Jingle Bells," "O, Holy Night" and "When A Child Is Born."

​

Noone is a great entertainer.  He told some jokes, interacted with the audience and even threw out a couple of CDs to fans in the front.

​

The highlight of the evening came when all the band members took center stage and sang an acapella version of "Silent Night" and the entire audience joined in.

​

The band returned to their instruments and proceeded to rock out with Herman's Hermits biggest hits, "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry the VIII" which turned into a huge sing-a-long.

​

Peter and company closed the show with a great version of "There's A Kind Of Hush."

​

It was another fun and entertaining evening at the beautiful Robins Theater.  If you haven't been there yet, I suggest you check out this wonderful venue.
