Noone brings his hit – laden catalog to Mohegan Sun Pocono which includes: “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” “There’s a Kind of Hush (All Over the World),” “I’m Henry the VIII I Am,” “I’m Into Something Good,” “Dandy,” “Listen People,” “What a Wonderful World,” “Can’t You Feel My Heart Beat,” “No Milk today,” and “Silhouettes.”
