Who Tribute Bands: The Whoo
The Whoo are an outstanding Who tribute band. They were formed in 2007 by Nick McCarthy (guitar) and Mark Pearsall (vocals) both of whom had performed in function bands for many years. They set about the task of recruiting three other like minded musicians and the band is now recognized as one of the best Who tribute bands in the UK today. The set is essentially a 'best of' with a big chunk of Quadrophenia thrown in for good measure. All the classic Who tracks are played with all the passion and drive that this incredible band became known for and it's 100% live. The 21 number set spans the decades and includes all the classics such as Can't Explain, Anyway Anyhow, The Seeker, The Real Me, Baba O’Riley through to You Better You Better You Bet.
The Whoo regularly play live music venues and festivals, theaters, corporate events and private parties. In fact, anywhere the music of The Who is appreciated. The band use top quality equipment and although they're not lookalikes, they do wear authentic stage clothing.
Reviews:
"I've seen lots of Who tributes and they've not all been good but I can thoroughly recommend these guys. While on stage they make it clear they're not out to look like Pete, Keith etc, more to replicate as best as possible what The Who sounded like live and this they do really well. Their singer in particular sounding uncannily like our Rodge. Their set included both the big hits from the early 60's and a big chunk of Quad tracks which really brought the house down" – Quad Night Review (Scootering Magazine)
"I wish to send my heartfelt thanks to you and the band for doing a fantastic job at the SVR Sounds of the 60's event. Utterly Brilliant! Well done to you all. I would also like to book the band to headline for next year's 60's weekend" – Severn Valley Railway (Sound's of the 60's)
"Just a quick note to say a massive thank you for playing at Gerry's party on Saturday night. Everyone has been talking about what a brilliant time they had and for those of them who had never seen a Who tribute band before or did not even know much about The Who's music, they absolutely loved you! you were brilliant" – (Private Party in Wales)
