Cock Robin & Procol Harum at Opera Garnier

On Saturday, 15th October 2016, at the Salle Garnier in the Monte-Carlo casino, iconic groups Cock Robin and Procol Harum will be in concert.

One song was enough to make Procol Harum a legend of popular music forever. Who didn’t slow dance to A Whiter Shade of Pale? Released in 1967 on the group’s first album, the song, inspired by one of Bach’s cantatas, went global. To date it has been the most played song in 75 years.

Gary Brooker’s voice, Keith Reid’s texts along with Procol Harum’s timeless soul are still just as fascinating as ever. The great musicality of the group (Matt Pegg: bass, Josh Philips: organ, Geoff Dunn: drums, Geoff Whitehorn: guitar, Gary Brooker: piano and vocals) will resonate through the Opéra Garnier Monte-Carlo on October 15th.

In 2015, Cock Robin celebrated the 30th anniversary of When Your Heart Is Weak, the single that made them a worldwide name. Delivered with the passionate vocals of Peter Kingsbery, it is one of those magical songs you only have to hear once to never forget.

Peter Kingsbery, now living in France, has kept Cock Robin soaring with a new partner, Coralie Vuillemin, who sings on Chinese Driver, the group’s new album released in March.

The concert is seated. Doors open at 20:00 and the concert begins at 20:30. Dress code: jacket required.
