Fleetwood Mac will be appearing at Sheffield Arena

Classic Fleetwood line-up in concert

Belper News

The classic Rumours line-up of rock legends Fleetwood Mac will be appearing at Sheffield Arena on November 2.

One of the most successful bands in history, Mac veterans Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Lindsey Buckingham will be strutting their stuff in the city for one night only.

Since forming in 1967 the only thing about the group that hasn't changed is the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.

Through the '70s, the band's personnel and style shifted with nearly every recording as Fleetwood Mac metamorphosed from a traditional British blues band to the makers of one of the best-selling pop albums ever - Rumours.

Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 100 million copies of its albums — including 25 million for Rumours alone — making the band one of the most popular rock outfits in history, so don't miss out on this rare outing for the band.

Tickets are priced at £75, £60, £45 (subject to booking fee). They are available in person at the Arena box office, by phone on 0114 256 5656 and online by going to www.sheffieldarena.co.uk.

Off the rack: June's travel magazines

Spotted the June issue of Hawaii magazine, as well, and was quite pleased to find out one of my favourite drummers, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac, got turned on to my favourite hotel in the world back in the 1970s when I first (well, for me it was actually 1968) fell in love with the Napili Kai Beach Resort on Maui.

It seems Fleetwood spends a lot of time in Napili these days (good call) and also plays in a Hawaiian-based blues band called Island Rumours. I had no idea.
