Rebel Rebel – David Bowie Tribute

Join Rebel Rebel for a dynamic and exciting evening celebrating the music of David Bowie. We present a performance of music from the many decades and styles of his talented and diverse career from early hits like ‘Space Oddity’ through to Ziggy and Berlin to Scary Monsters and the sound of ‘Let’s Dance’ album and beyond into the 90s and 2000’s. A journey through the decades of Bowie’s iconic tracks.

Rebel Rebel are a long-established six-piece David Bowie tribute band playing songs carefully selected from the entirety of Bowie’s repertoire. Based in the Nottingham area, Rebel Rebel perform in venues and theatres across the midlands as well as larger shows, events and festivals up and down the country.

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…not forgetting the iconic ‘F1’ bass line, of course!

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!

“We want to convey to our audiences the pure joy and excitement we feel when performing this music. Looking forward to sharing some ‘Big Love’ with you all!”

The show is performed by five experienced musicians who have found each other through their passion for one of the greatest bands in history.

The Music of Simon and Garfunkel performed by The Sounds of Simon

As seen on BBC The One Show!

The Sounds of Simon is a tribute to the wonderful music of Simon and Garfunkel.

Lose yourself to nostalgia with such classics as Mrs Robinson, The Boxer, The Sounds of Silence and Bridge Over Troubled Water as well as all the others that have established Paul Simon as one of the most successful songwriters of all time.

Paul and Art are played to perfection, bringing in elements of their famously fractious relationship, as well as replicating the beautiful harmonies flawlessly. This is a wonderful show filled with excellent music, nostalgia, and a genuine love for some great musicians.
