They perform their non-stop show to sell out crowds across the UK and Europe and they play with all the drive and passion of the original.

They're great showmen and fantastic musicians, they're an exciting young band with huge talent.

Reviews
Green Day have been one of my favorite bands for years, yet somehow I'd never managed to see them live. When I heard "The UK's Ultimate Green Day Tribute" was performing at Nottingham's Rock City, I knew I had to go. Normally I can't stand tribute bands but Green Day is one of the few bands I'll make an exception for. Anyway, the lights went down, the crowd went nuts and "Billie Joe" (Real Name Joe Mills) and the guys took to the stage, jumping right into "American Idiot." From there they played a bunch of songs from American Idiot in almost sequential order which got a huge response from the crowd. I must add that being the Manager of Rock City I have seen very Big "Famous" acts, and Green Date's frontman is up there with the best of them. Later they even played a cover of "Blitzkreig Bop" (the old Punk song from the Ramones"). They finally slowed it down by dedicating "Wake Me Up When September Ends" to everyone that attended the concert. After Joe performing a magnificant version of "Good Riddance" they left, and less than two minutes later they were back. They finished off the night with "Minority," an amazing concert by an amazing band" – Becky Solis

Evanescence Tribute Bands: My Immortal

Evanescence tribute band (My Immortal) present an unmissable tribute to this incredible multi-million album selling band. They spent 12 months in rehearsals prior to launching themselves onto the UK tribute scene. All this effort and attention to detail had to be done before they could convincingly label themselves as the UK's premier Evanescence tribute band.

My Immortal were formed by Lofty, who is a guitar teacher by profession and has performed in numerous rock bands over the years and the amazing vocal talent of Jen who was the lead singer of a band called "Heaven Ascent" prior to getting involved with My Immortal.

The bass player Matthew then came along and was quickly followed by Bill with his own quirky style and comprehensive rock and metal playing ability. Hannah is an accomplished drummer and guitarist but now focuses on playing classic piano and keyboards. The final addition to the band was Dave who is an outstanding drummer.

The bands mix of powerful chords, haunting vocals and intricate drum riffs produce a unique sound that is a close to the original Evanescence feel and style as you're ever likely to get.

Roxy Music Tribute Bands: Roxy Magic

Roxy Magic are without doubt the UK's No.1 Roxy Music tribute band. All the hits are flawlessly performed in this authentic tribute show. The lead singer looks the double of Bryan Ferry and sounds very much like him too. He's also got the same stage persona and quirky style. This is a totally live production, you won't find any backing tracks anywhere.

Because of the huge catalogue of material available to them, Roxy Magic have been able to put together a diverse entertainment programme, there is something for everyone.

Songs Include: Avalon, Street Life, Love Is The Drug, Let's Stick Together, Ladytron, Both Ends Burning, Dance Away, If There Is Something which was part of the soundtrack for the movie 'Flashbacks of A Fool' featuring Daniel Craig.

Roxy Magic have done hundreds of shows over the years for all kinds of clients and venues including theatres, universities, army bases, corporate events, summer balls, weddings, private parties, festivals, etc

Their tribute to the music of Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry is outstanding. The show comes complete with a top of the range sound system and stage lighting.

Reviews:
"It took a long time for there to be a Roxy tribute band, there is one now and it's very good" – Roxy Music's Andy Mackay (Ken Bruce Radio 2 Show)

"A great show last night at the Plinston. It could have been Roxy Music & Bryan Ferry himself that I was listening to, keep it going" – Len Crawley (The Barron Knights)

"I was very sceptical before seeing them but now having seen them live I would recommend any Roxy Music fan to see them, they're that good and that's something from a long-time Roxy fan!" – Barry Turner

"We urge you all to catch this show. Roxy Magic play all the band and solo hits plus album tracks in a show of over 2 hours – so truly fans of the music as well. Brilliant band and the singer is just incredible – a soundalike (getting the Ferry intonations and timbre of voice spot on) and he's a lookalike too. The sound at Stables was awesome and did justice to replicate their music which must be so difficult. The sax player is superb and vital to this unique sound – used 5 saxes – but all are incredibly talented. We spoke to the band afterwards – nice guys (and gal). Hope to see you back here again" – Phil & Sheena Andrews

"What a great show on Friday at Wavendon! Thank you. Re-Make Re-Model was the highlight for me. I am a volunteer at the Stables and have been promoting the band since I saw you in Southampton Jan last year so I was really pleased to see you on the programme. My experience is that the audience response was excellent with great comments in the foyer after the gig. Please come back!! Still the best alternative to the "real thing". All the best for your future gigs and see you at The Stables soon" – Melvyn Letts

"Roxy Music is one of my all time favourite bands. I have all their albums and still play them today. A friend ‘up country’ said Roxy Magic were worth checking out. I was a bit sceptical, especially when he said the lead man even looks and sounds like Bryan Ferry. Blimey, he was right on all counts! Make no mistake about it, ROXY MAGIC put on a splendid show at Mr Kyps last night" – Keith Norman

"I was there on Sunday, what a completely fabulous day! Really enjoyed all the bands on the main and Merseybeat stages, my highlight, the glorious Roxy Magic" – Mathew Street Music Festival Liverpool

"Fronted by a man in a white tux, black slicked fringe falling over his eyes, this band really were the business. As always with tribute bands, they focussed on the big hits but clearly this is what the crowd were here to see and almost to a man were singing along to each and every word"
