<p>The Overtones latest tour hit Blackpool. The third album “Saturday Night at the Movies” has more of a concept than the previous albums with them covering popular songs from movies along with a few new songs. As a band known more the covers it’s a logical move and ties the songs together.</p>

<p></p><p>The overtones fan bases are a loyal and dedicated bunch. It was clear by the cross section of the crowd that what they lacked in youth, they more than made up for in enthusiasm.

All are performed with outstanding enthusiasm. The stand out classics were definitely The Bare Necessities/ I Wanna Be Like You jungle book mash up and the sublime Moon River. It’s almost become tradition on The Overtones tour for them to perform a cover that’s a little outside of their usual scope, this time Daft Punk’s Get Lucky gets the treatment.
