Guns 2 Roses have been playing together since 2002. These guys are the NO 1 GNR tribute in the country! Many tributes have tried but not one comes close to their authenticity and natural charisma to emulate GNR which has even impressed members of the original line up of Guns N Roses. Approved by various members of Guns N Roses they have played to thousands throughout the UK, Europe and USA!

* They have headlined the famous Glastonbudget tribute festival 2 years in a row and this year were filmed and interviewed by BBC news and BBC 2 and Sky.

* In 2006 the original drummer from Guns N Roses Steven Adler toured with them as their drummer in the UK.

* They played the famous Matthew Street Festival in 2006 in front of 35.000 people.

* The only tribute to sell out the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool 2 nights in a row.

* They are the first tribute band of any type to play the Marquee Club and Hard Rock Cafe in London

Hailing from London these guys have played the same London clubs and venues that GNR did in the 80s from the Marquee Club to the Mean Fiddler and Hard Rock Cafe in Hyde Park.
Totally focused on not only cloning the sound of GNR better than the rest Guns 2 Roses are also mirror images to Axl and the boys, with stage performances down to the last detail. Playing many songs from Appetite For Destruction, GNR Lies, Use Your Illusion I and II, Spaghetti Incident? and even tracks from the upcoming Chinese Democracy. Guns 2 Roses sometimes even throw in the songs that GNR did live that never made it to an album to keep with the GNR spirit. Simply put you want Guns N Roses go see Guns 2 Roses.

THE ONLY GNR TRIBUTE BAND TO BE APPROVED BY AN ORIGINAL MEMBER OF GUNS N' ROSES!

Sham 69 is an English punk rock band, originally from Hersham, Surrey, and was a huge musical and lyrical influence on the Oi! and streetpunk genres of the 1970's. The band allegedly derived their name from a piece of football-related graffiti that singer Jimmy Pursey had seen on a wall that originally said Hersham '69 (the Her part was worn out).

Sham 69 released their first single, "Ulster", on Step Forward Records in August 1977, and its success in the independent charts prompted Polydor Records to sign the band. Their major label debut was "Borstal Breakout" in January 1978, followed by UK singles chart success with "Angels With Dirty Faces" (reaching number 19 in May 1978) and "If The Kids Are United" (number 9 in July 1978). They were taken from the group's debut album, Tell Us the Truth, a mixture of live and studio recordings. The group had further chart success with "Hurry Up Harry" (number 10 in October 1978), which came from their second LP and first full studio album, That's Life. The band's popularity was enhanced by their performances on Top Of The Pops.

When telling the story of legend it's hard to know where to begin. But let's start at the beginning and it will be short and sweet because this will run forever. SHAM 69 the flagship of credible Punk that DID grow from the streets rather than the plush carpeted offices of EMI. Fronted by the then crusted Hersham lad Jimmy Pursey and his inspired song writing partner Dave Parsons, they went on to seize the throat of the Kings Road floosies and snub the toff designer Punks, bringing Punk back down to earth. SHAM 69 kicked this credible mission off with the relevant Borstal Breakout which was their first real hit, closely followed by a string of hits. This saw them scare the shit out of the BBC, by several appearances on TOP OF THE POPS which echoed their constant success's like HURRY UP HARRY, ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, HERSHAM BOYS and the ultimate anthem IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED. During this time SHAM 69 slogged their way round the circuit which took them on what was more a genuine ANARCHY IN UK tour as they were packing clubs with vibrant and tense crowds. This followed an initial ban from entering the USA, something the Sex Pistols didn't have to face!

"If Alex Turner and Co really dislike publicity so much, they could do a lot worse than paying the Antarctic Monkeys to do their tours for them".
(Jenni Cole Glastonbudget 2006)


"Salt of the earth and not pretending to be anyone other than the heroes they so honourably copy, the Antarctic Monkeys are an invigorating and uplifting group of musicians who'll no doubt be playing when the sun goes down on the real band".
(Joe Cooksley BBC Somerset)


"In the middle of a steaming crowd, a couple of dozen burly young men are hurling themselves around in time to the music, sending glasses, bottles and the occasional teenage girl flying. At one point the scrum spills into the band itself, knocking over microphones and cymbals. As the song finishes, the pub landlord takes to the stage and appeals for calm. It's a great set by a great band, lads, but let's chill out a bit, eh?' It is, in short, what you might expect from a live performance featuring the music of Britain's most explosive rock outfit. Except the musicians on stage are not the Arctic Monkeys, Sheffield's internet phenomenon. They are the Antarctic Monkeys, four blokes from Wolverhampton giving a brilliant musical impression of the real thing".

Recently a new offshoot from the original line up - aptly named 'The Secrets' - has formed. Made up from existing band members Andy Wilkinson, Tim Holt, Richard Furter and Nick Buckle 'The Secrets' has a more stripped down, raw sound than original 8 piece.

WOW!....

AWESOME FUNKSTERS! ITS GOING TO BE A CORKER!

Emerging from the tragic bankruptcy of Stiff Records, James Taylor, founding member of the

infamous group The Prisoners - formed The James Taylor Quartet.

JTQ's first single was released on the Re Elect The President (Acid Jazz) label in 1985. It was a huge success, immediately attracting the attention of John Peel who championed it; the track appearing three years running on Peel's seminal Festive 50 Chart. After an impressive 13 weeks in the Indie Singles Chart, the band decided to start work on a mini album.

With the focus now strongly on being a 'live' band, The Quartet gigged relentlessly, selling out on the London club circuit. During this period, mjor record company interest was aroused resulting in a long term deal with Polydor. The James Taylor Quartet released three albums on Polydor,  in '88,  in '89 and  in '90. A number of hit singles were spawned from these such as the acclaimed and well-loved classic, the theme from Starsky & Hutch.

Acid Jazz's current top seller having sold over 200,000 copies - further proof that James Taylor is one of the great Hammond players of this generation. Also released was the retrospective BBC Radio Sessions LP.

In 1998 James had the chance to fulfil a dream - film theme's always featured heavily throughout his albums and he was asked to score a theme for Austin Powers, a spy spoof starring Mike Myers (Wayne's World).

The autumn of 1999 saw James featuring on the Tom Jones duets album.

With JTQ's success, James' musical talent became admired by numerous other acts - The

Wonderstuff, Manic Street Preachers, The Pogues and U2 have all featured James and his distinctive Hammond playing on their albums.

The Clone Roses are now regarded by many as the UK's No1 Tribute to Manchester legends "The Stone Roses". The Clone Roses have the looks and sounds of The Stone Roses and include all the classics in their set such as: Waterfall, Fools Gold and I am the Resurrection.

Lead singer Gavin Scott's voice has been described as "uncannily" like the real thing and the band do an expert job of recreating the vibe of a Stone Roses concert. Being from the North West, the band has the authenticity of a Stone Roses show that no other Roses Tribute can compete with!!

The band have recently done a number of huge successful shows with support DJ's such as Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets), Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays) and Bez (Happy Mondays) and their shows regularly attract large audiences.

Recently the band played their biggest show to date, playing The Brixton Academy in London as support to The Happy Mondays and The Farm, an ecstatic 4000+ crowd enjoyed all the roses classics. And endorsement from The Stone Roses bass player Mani who thought the band were superb when he saw them at Brixton.
