Despite yearly offers, Mark has never joined his fellow Hit Parade stars of pop’s favourite era, and gone out in any of the hugely successful 60’s revival tours.A final special shout out to audio man Chris Whybrow who delivered a pretty authentic 60s sound – Sheridan Lloyd for magnificent MD-ship and nimble fingered keys, plus my top man – Daniel Kofi Wealthyland – for being the most exciting drummer I’ve heard in a long while. The dazzling success of the first three Dreamboats and Petticoats CD’s, with over 2 million copies sold and several weeks at the number one spot in the compilation charts, the Great British public were saying that they didn't just want to listen they wanted to see it as well.

Once Upon a Dream’ was a hit for Billy Fury who was arguably the biggest British solo star of the era: his 1960’s hit-rate was incredible: 24 hits across the decade, a record equaled only by The Beatles. Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, The New Statesmen and Shine On Harvey Moon, this spectacular feel-good production will give you ‘the greatest time of your life’. As for the songs, they come back-to-back, sending you spinning through the decades, a thousand images flashing before your eyes, a movie of endless memories.
