They always sell out, you can barely move. I always forget that we sort of come from a similar area of the world. I bloody love that pub, and have spent many a night in there watching bands and I've actually seen that tribute band in that pub too, it's just jogged my memory. 7 hours ago, TheBurningRed said:  Went to a festival a couple years back in Walton called Just A Tribute which was an all tribute festival obviously. A couple of them had crap names for bands such as Pearl Jam (Brain of J) and Nirvana (simply called Nirvana Tribute). They also had Meat Loaf, Linkin Park, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Queen and Aerosmith. The Nirvana tribute was fucking terrible. Probably the worst one I’ve ever seen.  That'll be the one at Apps Court Farm right? I was so tempted by it all and bottled it right at the end.

They were meant to do it at Twickenham stoop last year and apparently will be there this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 9 Paid Members Share Posted February 9 I once saw a Queen tribute band inexplicably play "Mr Blue Sky". Whenever you get stuff like that, a tribute act playing another band's song, or being a tribute to two different bands, it always feels like it was a compromise to convince one of the musicians to join.

Panhead Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 On 2/8/2024 at 10:56 AM, chokeout said: I did photography for a few of the tribute festivals that have popped up. The quality on show varied and enjoyment was directly linked to how hammered everyone was. Best bit about them is the effort they put into the names. Beastie boys tribute act called the Beast Decoys. Gold star!  I might be mixing up two different U2 tributes here, but there was one called US4, which still makes me laugh, and the frontman worked on the bins so was known as Binno. Red Not Chilli Peppers, By Jovi and Bon Jovish deserve a mention. ParamoreGB are really good and lovely people too. I saw them in Bradford last year and it was the nearest I've had to an "And then everybody clapped" moment in real life. They dedicated Emergency to me and let me choose All I Wanted as the encore. It was ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
