Everybody has their favourite band but unfortunately, not everybody
will get the chance to see them play live. Luckily, most of us
have the good fortune to be able to experience a live performance
by a tribute band that exists to bring the music and atmosphere
of the original band to the stage of smaller clubs and music venues
around the UK.
Nobody knows how many tribute bands perform regularly but what
we do know is that whatever kind of music you enjoy, there's a
band out there that you'll love listening to. Whether you want
to relive the music of a performer who's no longer with us or a
band that's still going strong but that simply can't tour often
enough to give everybody the opportunity to enjoy their music,
somebody will have put together a tribute to them.
Long gone are the days when tribute bands were seen as "cheap
copies" cashing in on the success of the original. These days
they're highly professional outfits that spend their spare time
studying their chosen performer and rehearsing to get every sound
as close to the original as possible. Some tribute bands have even
been "accused" of being better than the original, if
that's possible!
Contrary to popular belief, not all tribute bands are so-called "look-a-like" bands.
Although there are bands that have worked hard to closely resemble
the performers they're copying, there are also those who are more
concerned with maintaining the spirit of the music rather than
looking like their chosen artist. With that in mind, don't be surprised
if you go along to your local music club to see a tribute band
only to find that they look nothing like the original.
Tribute bands play all across the UK and are well worth seeing.
Enjoy the music and suck up the kind of atmosphere that only good
musicians can create while spending only a fraction of the cost
of seeing the original performer play live.
