Tribute Bands
Tribute acts are much more than ‘impersonators’. A good tribute band will bring the look, sound and atmosphere of their subject to life before your eyes. Booking a tribute band is a great way to pass a fun evening of live entertainment dedicated to an artiste or era of your choice.
We have access to a growing list of tributes currently numbering approximately one hundred and thirty which we can’t possibly list in full here so please do get in touch for more information. If your favourite style or decade isn’t on our list we’ll go out and find it!
Musical Tributes
As an example of the range and variety of tribute bands available here are a selection of some favourites currently enjoying great success across Northern Ireland and the UK.
What A Feeling are all about the 80s. A big enough band to have a disco on their own, this fresh, totally live act comes with sound engineers, roadies, and an amazing light show.
Normally starting with a big intro then launching into the best selling single of 1980, Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall. After three songs from 1980, a quick vocal recap of major events during the year leads onto songs from 1981 and so it continues for 2hrs 15 minutes before an 80s Disco to round off the evening.
There’s a 15 minutes interval during the show but music continues to play during this period.
Jesse Garron is Scotland’s veritable Monarch of Rock n’ Roll, the blue haired (yes!) multi-instrumentalist with the golden throat has been voted Most Exciting Artiste (2008) and Best International Artiste (2009) by RTE.
A masterful showman, and as sensitive to the audience as a tuning fork is to a piano, his Remember Then show chronicles all the great Rock ‘n’ Roll & Rock-a-Billy classics and happenings from 1950 onwards (Bill Haley, Elvis, Fats, Buddy, Jerrylee, Eddie, Chuck, Roy, The Everlys, Cliff, Billy, P,J,). Jesse can also be supported by his flawless ensemble of band & dancers “The Wreckin Crew”. Whatever you choose, this show is a roller coaster ride of pure nostalgia.
The Michael Buble Tribute Show: Less of a tribute, more a re-enactment and direct replication of the man himself, members of Michael Buble’s camp agree that James Huish is a great representative and ambassador for Michael Buble. You can read more about James on our site here.
The Diamond Experience Show has now been running for over ten years and is one of the biggest mobile production shows in Ireland. Next to seeing the man himself, The Diamond Experience Show is the best way to enjoy the magic of his music. This is a full live musical production that features all the top hits from Neil Diamond’s best-selling albums, including favourites like Sweet Caroline, Cracklin’ Rose, I Am I Said and America, and also some massive productions like Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show. The show includes the beautiful duet You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, also an acoustic set from his latest album, Melody Road.
The Diamond Experience is a fantastic tribute to a musical legend and has played to sell out audiences throughout the country. Adam McDonald fronts The Diamond Experience and all music and backing vocals are provided by CONSPIRACY, one of the top live bands in the country.
It’s hard to decide what we love most about ABBA – is it the catchy songs, the dazzling outfits, or just the amazing party atmosphere?
Thankfully, you can rely on ABBATASTIC to give you the authentic ABBA experience from A to Z… A. This stunning tribute band cover all of ABBA’s infectious singalong hits (‘Waterloo’, ‘Dancing Queen,’ ‘The Winner Takes It All’) faithfully re-creating the Abba sound, show and atmosphere right down to those fantastic costumes.
The runaway success of the Mamma Mia film has rightly shone the spotlight back on ABBA and any new fans will also love this tribute band, offering them the full performance experience that they enjoyed on the screen.
Understandably ABBATASTIC fill venues and dancefloors wherever they go – at festivals, theatre shows, corporate events, weddings, or private parties, ABBATASTIC deliver professional, fun entertainment for all ages.
