Carnaby Street, set against the backdrop of London’s West End in the sixties, recently opened at The Hackney Empire, and the show is enjoying a successful tour.

Aaron said: “I play Jack, a young band manager who narrates the show. He’s a cheeky chappy and very funny.

“The tour is great fun, it’s a real pleasure to perform in the show.

“If the show is anything to go by, the swinging sixties seems a fantastic time to have lived through, so much was happening, not just on the music seem, but everywhere. Certainly London’s West End was an amazing place to be, and I would have loved it.”
