Seen a couple of crackers recently. Surely Bassey and my personal favourite..........Genesish Anyone got any other well thought out tribute band names?
Ziggy Sawdust Lordie Geordie Badness Ok the first two aren't real, I just nicked them off Only Fools & Horses.
A while back, he did make a couple of stand in appearances, I think last year but maybe the year before. They also, strangely, do a Showaddywaddy tribute, Showmaddymaddy I think.
Not tribute acts, but there are two band names that always stick in my mind: one is a football-related one, called The Old Fourth Division and the other is a rock covers band in West Yorkshire which goes by the name of Three Litre Capri. Marvellous.
There was a band over in Lincolnshire that used to do punk and new wave versions of Abba, Queen, disco stuff, Sinatra and all sorts of standards. Not quite a tribute band in the strictest sense but they were called The League of Mentalmen. Fantastic band also... There's a really good band doing the rounds in Hull that takes their name from a Small Faces song and they are called Tin Soldier. They're playing at the Goodfellowship on Friday night (tomorrow) Check them out!
