Blondie Tribute returns to The Brook

Door £

Celebrating over 30 years of Blondie, and their induction into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, do not miss this explosive tribute!!

No other female fronted band has ever beaten Blondie with their string of hits and run of success! Blondie emerged as the great pop icons of the late '70s new wave punk scene by defying easy categorisation. They scored their first major hits with reggae, rock/disco and hip-hop songs. They wrote great rock hooks and brilliant ironic lyrics. They had the hippest clothes and the coolest hair – blonde bombshell Debbie went from the pages of Punk magazine to being on the cover of just about every mainstream publication on the news stands! 2008 was the 30th Anniversary of the Fantastic Album, Parallel Lines and saw Blondie performing a World Tour including major UK Sold Out dates.

Cardiff based Atomic Blondie, now also hotly tipped as one of the UK's leading Blondie Tribute bands, have performed all over the UK and Europe and has also had the pleasure of featuring on tour with the legendary 'SLADE' and 'ROY WOOD' on a regular basis, plus performances with 'SHOWADDYWADDY'!! Plus recently with Dr & The Medics and Bad Manners! Our 'Debz' has also had the pleasure of performing for top musician and member of 'Yes' RICK WAKEMAN plus an event for the cast of BBC 1's Eastenders.

You do not want to miss this tribute!

The show features all the classic hits including; Heart of Glass, Sunday Girl, Maria, Tide is High, Rapture, Hanging on the Telephone, Denis, Dreaming and many more including recent versions from Blondie's 'Live By Request' TV Show in the USA.

A combination of great experienced top-class professional musicians and a stunning experienced professional vocalist!

SIR OWEN GEE – KISS FM – "Electric!!!!!!!"

Quote from:

The Blondie Review (USA) - "I recently visited your Web site and must tell you that I am very impressed with the performances from you and the guys. Your vocals, Deb-style presentation, the music, the arrangements ...... everything, are most impressive and spot-on." TBR

You Do No want to leave them Hanging on the Telephone!

The Small Fakers

For those of you that never saw the Small Faces live, this is as close as you're gonna get!

Highlights for the ‘Fakers' so far include playing at the Isle of Wight Festival, Carnaby Street Small Faces plaque unveiling, the Small Faces Conventions, Butlins(!), meeting Kenney Jones and many of the Marriott family and playing at Stan Lane's birthday!

Here's what the ace faces have said about the boys:

"As soon as you opened your mouth, the hanky was out"
- Kay Marriott (Steve's Mum)

"Really great, absolutely spot-on"
- Kenney Jones (Small Face)

"No point doing any of the old songs, they do them too good!"
- Jimmy Winston (Small Face)

My Dad would have been thrilled to bits about it, he really liked working with younger people, and specially musicians, who he thought appreciated his humour - and it kept him young all his life. It has been really great for me to keep his memory alive. All the best, and 'Deep Joy' from me and all the Unwin family!
I really do think you're a great band, and you're welcome to quote me on that if it's of any use to you!
- John Unwin (son of narrator of Ogdens Nut Gone Flake: Stanley Unwin)

Steve Hales - Drums.

Steve started playing music at 6 years old and throughout his childhood worked through his musical grades in piano and trumpet. However it was at one of the first gigs he ever went to that he saw something that would shape his musical direction forever. The Buddy Rich Band at the Southampton Gaumont. From that moment on a fascination with the drums developed and by the time he left school the likes of Rush, Genesis, Iron Maiden and Deep Purple had kicked Chopin and Beethoven firmly into touch.The next few years were all about collecting dreadful sounding drums and hammering the life out of them in garages, churches and community centres. A typical young drummer! Local bands and private gigs soon grew into pubs and clubs and the drumkit began to grow. As a founding member of metal band Stranglehold he enjoyed some success with their debut album "Elemental" selling in Europe and the US. Stranglehold was to stay together for over 15 years, later reissuing "Elemental" through Valhalla Records complete with Derek Riggs (Iron Maiden) artwork. In 2001 he joined Steve Grimmett's Seven Deadly Sins. In Lionsheart (also with Grimmett) he recorded the "Abyss" album which was released in Europe and Japan. He recorded and toured with Lionsheart for 3 years.Following the start of his young family Steve took a break from performing. He set up a music production company that encompassed an independant record label and promotions agency. More recently he has been back on the stage performing in a diverse range of tribute and cover bands from pop to heavy metal. When not gigging Steve teaches drums in his own studio and also plays as a session musician.Steve already knew Gerry and Rick and when the call came to join them in an awesome tribute to one of his all-time favourite guitarists there was absolutely no question of saying no

Rick Hearn - Bass Guitar & Vocals

As well as playing Rick has just started teaching Bass Guitar. Ricks influences include Billy Sheehan, Jason Newstead, Geddy Lee and Steve Harris.

The Doors Alive is widely regarded as the closest and most enthralling representation to the legendary 1960's rock gods 'The Doors' in the world today. Here's what the press have to say about The Doors Alive:

"Truly AMAZING... They capture the true spirit of The Doors" Zane Lowe, BBC Radio 1
"The best tribute band I have EVER seen" Clint Boon, XFM

The band re-create the sound, look, presence and magic of a real 1960's Doors concert, perfectly and effortlessly transporting the crowd back in time with timeless hits such as 'Light My Fire', 'When The Music's Over, Riders On The Storm, The End and many, many more.

The singer captures the attitude, look and rich baritone voice of the late, great Jim Morrison with ease, and the other band members have honed the other Doors members playing style and flair note for note.

To achieve that authentic Sixties sound, the band use the very same instruments that members of the Doors originally used. These include a vintage Fender Rhodes Bass keyboard, a vintage Gibson keyboard and a vintage Gibson S.G guitar.

They have left awe struck audiences all over the world and repeatedly sold out some of the most respected venues in the business, including 02 Academies all over the U.K.

The band have played on the same bill as some of today's big names, including: The Feeling, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Supergrass, The Bluetones, Hayseed Dixie and many more.
