Review Centre: Tribute Bands & Soundalikes

"Kelly and Graham were on the last 2 cruises I did with Ambassador cruise line. To say they where the best entertainment on board would be a masterpiece of understatement. All the sets were performed to an amazing level and were very approachable if you wanted a certain song. Kelly's voice is incredibly powerful and can do any genre to a very high standard, and as for Graham, his guitar skills are quite simply the best I have come across. "

"Hi Micki, I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for performing at our Polo day this year. We've done tonnes of similar events and you were by far the best band we have had. We really appreciated how accomodating you were and I've never had so much positive feedback about a performer. I'll share a few extracts from emails I've recieved below. I hear from Philly you may be making an appearance at our Christmas part - excellent news! Thanks Duncan "...and the band!! She was phenomenal!!! As you know we own wedding venues and she's the best singer we've seen. Can you share her details?" "I had to email to say thank you for invitation, but more to tell you how fantastic your singer was. We've never been to a corporate event with so much fun and dancing..." "that lady who was singing was brilliant. Reminded me of when we lived in nashville, what a voice!" "looking forward to next year. Please tell me you've secured that band again? When the singer came off the stage and joined in with the dancing!! So much fun. Also lowkey want to know where she got her hat."

"Andrew sang -our song- at our wedding and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Lovely clear voice and the performance was so moving and special. Then he lit up the place with a bunch of feel good floor fillers. Very friendly and easy to approach. Would recommend him in an instant."

"I would 100% recommend this band! They made the party epic and every single person commented on how good they were. From an organisational perspective their communication was top notch and I had zero concerns. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again and have already been asked to pass on their details! Thanks a million guys!"

"It’s March and still raining. I’ve trawled through some serious procrastination to decide where I’m going tonight; at least three decent live music offerings in Chester that I know of. And I’m sure the others were brilliant. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are, in their own words, a “tribute to the British Britpop music scene” and a “powerful combination of passion and quality.” A tribute band, to me, equals lunatic professionalism. To tribute a whole scene is a big ask. Good covers bands are rare enough, taking that enormous and unlikely step beyond random amateur recreation. But these guys really do tick the box of perfectionists, professional curators though. Friday night was time travel night with a set list that captured the point where British alt-rock got (largely) happy and popular (in a good way). A guitar-dominated, looping and lurching opener with Ocean Colour Scene and The Riverboat Song; polished and convincing. The second song in and I’m braving the dance floor with the pointy-shooed brigade. A few songs further and they offer me proof of their professionalism. A very-very-very long time ago I was lucky enough to make it into Brixton Academy and unfortunate enough to catch James on a sincerely off night. And I’ve heard James and Sit Down many times since: at home, on the radio, in DJ sets and covered more than it should be. It's one of those beautiful songs that gets tired through overuse. And on this particular Friday night I heard it come alive; all vitality restored. There were the things I expected; a good dose of Blur and Oasis both, Stereophonics, Bluetones and more, then some referencing back to foundation stones with The Who and The Jam. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience switched between styles and musical voices with conviction; into acoustic things and seamlessly back out again. The magic of seeing grown men dance without a pint in hand happened repeatedly through the two sets. On any given set you pray for that one song you don’t see coming; the track you might flick through on the album that becomes something else entirely live. So it was with Blur’s Charmless Man. That perfect Blur poetry, is simple, direct and delivered with energy. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are a good distance from being charmless. They are careful collectors and curators of songs; fine musicians and performers!"

"Thank you for a fantastic performance. The Warrant Officers’ & Sergeants’ Mess, Christmas Function 2019 appreciated the efforts from the band. The music was professionally delivered, sounded quality and enhanced the atmosphere. The performance enhanced the ‘Peaky Blinders’ themed event with tunes that everyone could dance, sing and relate to. All that attended have mentioned that you were brilliant and have walked away with lasting memories of the event."

"Really simple booking process and Gemma is really responsive, asking/answering questions really quick and easy! Our saxophonist, Raf, was just a joy to work with. He played a 1.5hr set at our wedding and was great at just free-styling to any song that came on by the DJ! Everyone stayed on the dance floor because of Raf, young and old, which is exactly what we wanted."
