The Festival’s organizers tell us that among the doo wop groups performing will be the Iggtones, Yesterday, FOG, Mid-Life Crisis, Ringtones, 5/3 Woodlawn and Grand Central Echoes. Chi Chi Devine Burnett of the Hippies/Tams will be presented with the Lee Andrews Philly Legend Award and she will also be performing. Our friend John Paloney will be given a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to numerous Philly vocal groups over the years. John has asked me [Charlie] to present the award to him which I am honored to do. In addition to the outdoor stage there will be a 4 hour indoor dance party. General Admission is $25 and includes food, soda and draft beer. We always have a great time and it’s for a good cause. The event will proceed rain or shine. For more info, call 215-629-3602.
