Wales Millennium Centre launches ‘Music You’ll Love’ campaign
A song can transport us right back to when we first heard it. Whether it was Buddy Holly’s ‘Peggy Sue’ in 1957, the Four Seasons topping the charts in 1962 with ‘Sherry’, The Kinks’ legendary gig at Cardiff’s Capitol Theatre in 1965 or the epic ‘Somebody to Love’ by Queen in 1976.
Or maybe it reminds us of a person in our lives who loved great music or a family party.
Wales Millennium Centre has launched its ‘Music You’ll Love’ campaign to promote upcoming shows at the Welsh venue featuring great music which will take you for an unforgettable trip down memory lane.
