Patti Boulaye - The Original Retro Stars

“The Original Retro Stars” showcase brings together the stars of 70s, 80s and 90s music including Patti Boulaye, Maizie Williams (Boney M original), disco diva Kym Mazelle not only to those who grew up during the era but also to the next generation through live shows, workshops and a special spot in the show for the younger generation of performers and songwriters.  Entertainer Patti Boulaye is bringing some of her friends together in London on November 11th 2011 for a great evening of retro music from those who had the hits, toured the world and walked the walk. These stars can entertain an audience blind-folded and with careers spanning over 30 years they know how to get audiences dancing and singing.

Maizie Williams is an original member of BONEY M with 30 official albums with great and memorable hits like “Rivers of Babylon”, “Daddy Cool” and “Rasputin”. Boney M was one of the biggest groups to stand out and make their mark from the mid 70s. Their career was comet-like in that they seemed to blast out of nowhere. Suddenly every discotheque around the world played Boney M and every TV show wanting to be hip had to have this stunning-looking and fabulous-sounding group. Maizie has toured the world for many years and is a great friend and supporter of Patti’s charity, appearing several time in Patti’s “Reaching Out” concerts at the Royal Albert Hall.
