You might have already clocked these guys but if you weren't watching The Last Leg on Channel 4 last Friday, you'll have missed 3 of our incredible tributes.
Their performances followed a skit comparing the departure of Robbie from Take That and Geri from the Spice Girls to the UK's possible separation from the EU.
Standing in for them were three of the UK's top tributes to Take That, Robbie Williams and The Spice Girls: Rule The World, Mike Andrew and Spice Girlz.
Rule The World’ the Take That Tribute Band have been featured on
ITV1′s ‘Daybreak’ and have had rave reviews from many people including
TV personality Ricky Tomlinson, Jason Orange’s mother and now Mr GARY
BARLOW himself. The ONLY Take That tribute act to have ever been praised
by Take That's lead singer!
In just a short space of time Mike Andrew has become one of, if not
'the' No 1 Robbie Williams tribute in the UK and has even gained
recognition from Robbie's own father Pete Conway!
The Spice Girlz is a great upbeat fast moving tribute show with all
the global hits everybody knows and loves. The band have performed all
over the UK and beyond including a performance for the Royal Family in
Dubai & Bahrain!
So keep your eyes peeled - who knows who'll be popping up next! In the meantime, head over to the website and check out these fantastic tributes.
Mother's Day is a tad early this year so you've only got 2 weeks to get your pressie sorted. We thought we'd give you all a little inspiration to find that perfect gift. Everyone's got a bit of a soft spot for that one particular singer or band so we've gathered together a few of our Mum's favourites!
Take That
This one probably goes without saying but first up, we've got Rule The World - an outstanding Take That tribute group. A firm favourite amongst Mums everywhere, grab some Take That tickets if you're stretching the budget this Mothers Day!
'Rule The World’ the Take That Tribute Band have been featured on
ITV1′s ‘Daybreak’ and have had rave reviews from many people including
TV personality Ricky Tomlinson, Jason Orange’s mother and now Mr GARY
BARLOW himself.
The Handbags & Gladrags crooner is certainly another popular one sure to induce some swooning across the ages!
Gerry has been in great demand as a truly authentic look and
sound-a-like of 'Rod Stewart'. Having the same husky type voice and
flamboyant appearance, his performances are a re-creation of the great
man himself!
Now, we know what you're thinking - Adele is way too current for Mum to be into but you'd be wrong! With her big voice and her gut-wrenching power ballads, Adele is a superstar no matter who you're talking to!
The Adele Tribute show Hometown Gloryfeatures the
haunting voice of Adele performed by Natalie. She puts her heart and
soul into a one hour set, delivering vocals to move any audience.
Natalie has paid special detail to Adele's wardrobe, stage presence and also to emulate the rich and soulful voice of Adele.
Who doesn't love a bit of the Swedish Super-group??
The Abba Tribute band ABBA Revival is quite unlike any other Abba
Tribute act you have ever seen. The collective years of experience in
all walks of entertainment have enabled the band to create quite simply
the slickest concert stage show
Lionel Richie
Having penned uber-romantic tunes such as Endless Love, Three Times a Lady & Stuck on You, Lionel Richie is a total ladies man!
Hamilton Browne, the Lionel Richie tribute act is without doubt, one
of the most popular Tribute Artists around today. His uncanny
resemblance prompted the BBC to invite Hamilton to guest alongside
Lionel (himself) on the Graham Norton show in 2009!
World-famous for her music and her awesome style - everyone's got a favourite Madonna songor at least, a favourite outfit!
When she burst onto the music scene in the 80s, teenagers everywhere started donning net skirts, backcombing their hair and doodling beauty marks onto their cheeks and our dear Mums were probably guilty of doing just that!
Bringing us all the biggest hits from Madonna's 25 year career, The
Vogue tribute show leaves no stone unturned in this superb solo tribute
show. The voice, the moves and the image are all perfectly recreated by
this uncanny lookalike & soundalike.
Now if that hasn't inspired some creative gifts - you can't go wrong with a CD!
With the passing of David Bowie, enquiries have
been coming in thick and fast for our stunning tribute to the Starman.
Like many tribute artists, Jean Genie is not just a singer in his own
right but a dedicated and loving fan of the man he impersonates making
this tribute one of the finest and most accurate out there.Through tribute shows such as this, fans can continue to enjoy the music (and costumes!) of one of Britains most-loved artists.
In the late 1990s John was approached by David Bowie’s famous band the
Spiders from Mars and was asked by them if he’d front the band and tour
with them. Obviously John accepted the offer and John remains to this
day to be one of only a few tribute artists to tour and perform with an
original artist’s band. John also played harmonica and sang backing
vocals with Def Leopards Joe Elliott on the spiders from mars cybaunauts
album.
John owes a lot of his experience of working in theatres and opera houses to Mike Southon aka Mike Fab Gere.
They both met on the Big Breakfast TV show in the early 90s and later
teamed up together when Mike asked if John would tour in Mikes very own
rock musical called Freak Out. More recently they found themselves
performing again on stage in Moscow Russia.
John has undertaken many press/radio interviews touring extensively
around the world playing the part of David Bowie. These days John prides
himself on the quality of his voice, mannerisms and overall style to
the late great David Bowie, many of John’s latest performances have been
with Trevor chances highly successful show 'Legends' in Blackpool.
To all of Bowie's fans - young, old and those yet to discover his legacy, take a listen to the work of this brilliant performer who has dedicated his life to imitating this legend and his (almost) inimitable style!
