While Elvis tributes are ten-a-penny there are few that involve other rock n’ roll singles and even fewer that do so with the assistance of an 8-piece live band. Describing themselves as: “A live-wired, heart & soul shaking, rock n’ roll show-stopping, table-hopping, you’ve gotta party hearty, Marty, all-in-one unique 8-piece Elvis event band” The Almost Elvis Band is a truly unique party act that has to be seen to be believed. As private or corporate entertainment, this professional and energetic crew will turn any party into a riot and provide hours of live music entertainment.
The Almost Elvis Band setlist is interesting with two sets providing poignant moments in rock n’ roll’s past. The first set covers the early years, specifically the movie years with costumes suiting the occasion. The second set is a revival of the classic Las Vegas shows with the band looking and performing like they’ve just turned up to a set at The International Hotel in Vegas. An additional DJ service is available should your party extend into the early hours of the morning. The band is made up of a host of professional singers and musicians each as talented as the last. Anthony Tidy is ‘The King’ singing and bossing the stage and crowd. Supporting him on vocals are the incredible talents of ‘The Sweet Inspirations’, Ally Davies and Louise Shaw.
On the instrument front, there’s a formidable arsenal. Leading the line-up is David Chapple on lead guitar affectionately known as ‘the quiet man with the big sound’. Backing him up on acoustic guitar and vocals is Andrew Gambling while Jamie Warren provides the essential bass to the soul. Irek Tomaszewski is a multi-instrumentalist playing the keyboard, piano, accordion, and horn section. Last, but not least, is the beat master and drummer David ‘Foz’ Forsdyke. This band is truly memorable with few tribute acts able to replicate the soul, sound, and energy of rock n’ roll. Booking this band is essential as they take time to plan each appearance to ensure it is personal and bespoke to you. Impress your guests and book one of the best live bands on the tribute circuit.
