Ultimate Elton
Winner of the National Tribute Music Awards 2013, 2016 and 2017. A lifelong Elton John fan, Paul Bacon first started singing and performing Elton’s songs whilst studying Performing Arts at University in the early 1980’s. With an extraordinarily similar singing voice to Sir Elton’s, Paul is able to draw on an amazing back catalogue of hits to produce a truly wonderful celebration of Elton’s music.
Elton John’s extraordinary repertoire means that Ultimate Elton can serenade an audience with some of the most beautiful ballads ever written, including Your Song, Candle in the Wind, Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Sacrifice and Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word. He can also change the pace and get people up dancing with classics like Crocodile Rock, I’m Still Standing, The Bitch is Back and Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.
Fleetwood Machine
A lovingly-crafted, musically-authentic and passionately-performed celebration of one of the greatest bands in history, Fleetwood Mac!
Fleetwood Machine stay true to the spirit and sound of the original music, replicating the unique sounds of Lindsey Buckingham & Peter Green’s guitars, the intricate drum patterns of Mick Fleetwood and the haunting vocal harmonies that are Fleetwood Mac’s trademark!
With a wide range of songs to show the incredible diversity of this fabulous catalogue, Fleetwood Machine showcase all of the beloved mega-hits plus some brilliant, less well-known songs from the Peter Green era to excite even the most discerning fans!
StingChronicity
StingChronicity present a theatre show like no other, telling the story of Sting’s career — starting with the early days of The Police, charting their rise and fall, through to Sting’s highly successful solo period in the ’80s and ’90s, and The Police’s eventual reunion in 2007.
The look, the sound, the equipment, the musicianship... rarely do you find a tribute where each one of these individual components has been painstakingly addressed in just as much detail as the last.
The Police Academy and The Sting Operation, however, do exactly that. ‘Roxanne’, ‘Every Breath You Take’, ‘Englishman in New York’ and ‘Fields of Gold’ are just a few of the highlights in a set that could legitimately be described as ‘all killer, no filler’.
