band.

Elton John by John Ellis
|
|
John's tribute
to Elton John has a combination of three elements unique
in the music scene today: the ability to play live
piano, sing and look like Elton. John's flamboyant
showmanship captures the mannerisms and charisma of the
man himself, performing all the best loved hits.
John has the ability to create a great show which is the
next best thing to the original.
‘A Class Act !..Capturing the voice and looks of Elton’...The Stage
‘He’s Got It!’…..David Copperfield
‘Excellent !….Brilliant !…...Cheryl Baker

Platinum Abba
|
|
Platinum ABBA was formed as a 6-piece band in 1997 with the sole aim of becoming the best "ABBA" tribute band in the World.
Individually, its musicians have toured and recorded
with some of the biggest names in show business. With meticulous attention to every detail, they have combined stunning musicianship, authentic costumes, Abba-esque choreography and a suitable dose of tongue-in-cheek humour within an electrifying performance to produce a breathtaking show that appeals to all ages.
But the most important challenge to the band was to recreate the "ABBA" sound absolutely LIVE on stage, without resorting to hidden backing tapes and discs. After all..... ABBA never used them, so why should an ABBA tribute! Platinum ABBA were determined their audiences wouldn't be cheated with a glorified ABBA karaoke.
And they have succeeded. Resulting in a show that delivers the kind of excitement and audience reaction only a LIVE band can deliver. Just like the real ABBA!
Wen the London Evening Standard claim that Platinum ABBA
are "better than the original" you know they must be
something special!

Killer Queen - The UK's Longest Running Queen Tribute
Possibly the best Queen tribute in the world, Killer
Queen is an outstanding performance paying tribute to
the superb music of Queen and Freddie Mercury. The live
show features a blistering set spanning all of Queen's
recording career, complete with costume changes. With a
powerhouse performance from Killer Queen's lead singer,
Patrick Myers. "This guy is not to be missed” - brianmay.com.
In 2003 Killer Queen celebrated 10 years at the top with a triumphant show at Thunder Park before a 25,000 strong Brands Hatch crowd.
In 2009
Killer Queen sold out Ahoy Stadium rounding off their phenomenally successful 2009 Queen Spectacular tour.
"Concerts as near to the real thing as you're likely to get. A
real life Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie Lives! A Pop Legend Is
back" - The PEOPLE. |
