Queen have long been credited as one of the greatest bands of all time and for those not in agreement, they are compelled to admit that they are among the greatest entertainers in music history. Paying any such homage to rock pop legends is a tall order and can see you fall hard against a backdrop of critics. Not Monarchy, who have proven themselves on countless occasions as a worthy imitation of the men who shook the world of rock. Having formed in 2016, the band have enjoyed a rapid rise up the rungs of entertainment to be considered one of the best Queen tributes around.
The members of the group have had plenty of experience at the upper echelons of the industry, having toured with various setups elsewhere. The passionate five-piece is made up of lead singer Paul Joyner, who offers the same look, style and singing ability of the great Freddie Mercury; Bobby Newman, the soul-searching strummer who hints at Brian May's memorable sound; Pete, the bassist who takes the role of John Deacon as the rhythmic stylus of the cover band; and Ed Myers as Roger Taylor, the beating heart of the band.
Last but not least, Steve Hayes acts as Spike Edney, the outlandish keyboardist. The original 70s rock stars brought life to the era and are remembered for mega-hits such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody', "It's A Kind of Magic", "Don't Stop Me Now", 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', 'Another One Bites the Dust', 'Radio Ga Ga', 'We Are the Champions', 'We Will Rock You' and many more. The cover band have been so well received that they have earned a place at London's prestigious Hard Rock Cafe, performing to revellers at the lunchtime retreat on a number of occasions.
Since their inception, they have proven to be a popular choice for corporate events, private parties, wedding entertainment and more. Among Queen's biggest admirers, the band are not only content with pushing their passionate vocal and instrumental authenticity, but they are also keen to match the stage style and image of the band. With the same popular outfits and features; from Brian May's hair to Freddie Mercury's moustache - they are undeniably Queen. Their engaging, high-octane stage-style has blown audiences away at concerts all over the country.
