Added: (Thu Oct 15 2009)

Pressbox (Press Release) - The legendary Chuck Berry will be performing at the Brangwyn Hall with his St Louis Band for the final show of his UK tour on Wednesday 2 December at 7.30pm.

Known as the father of Rock & Roll, Chuck Berry is a true pioneer and famous the world over for tracks including ‘Johnny B. Goode’, ‘Roll Over Beethoven!’, ‘Maybellene’ and ‘Memphis’.

Most of his success was gained by watching the audience's reaction and playing accordingly, putting his listeners' amusement above all else.

Born in St. Louis on October 18 1926, Berry has been credited with bringing Rock & Roll to the masses.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Berry's music was said to be the inspiration for such groups as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

As a tribute to his pervasiveness in the realm of rock, a clip of ‘Johnny B. Goode’ was chosen to be played in the Voyager I spacecraft, proving Chuck Berry and his rock legacy are truly out of this world.

He will be joined on stage with some special guests.
