When five-piece Noosa band The Claptomaniacs formed 11 years ago, they created a tribute act to the works of Eric Clapton.
Since then, demands have changed commercially and the band’s everyday venue repertoire now spans a wide range of transatlantic music across three decades.
But now and again, opportunity knocks – to take The Claptomaniacs back to their origins, with a dedicated show to once again celebrate Clapton’s works.
If this strikes a musical chord with you, then don’t miss The Claptomaniacs’ performance of ’The Cream of Clapton – The Slowhand Show’ at Pomona’s Majestic Theatre on Saturday 28 June, starting at 7pm.
This two-hour-plus show will track Clapton’s musical milestones and personal fortunes through his career from early Mayall Bluesbreakers and Yardbirds through Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, Blind Faith and more, to his solo work in the nineties and beyond.
Set in the atmospherically and acoustically perfect Majestic, the Claptomaniacs’ live performance will be accompanied by a powerpoint ’diary’ of all the man’s high – and low – points in life.
Note: this is a very different show to the band’s regular free performances – you won’t see this anywhere else. It’s Clapton from go to whoa!
