Tonight will be a special treat of rock nostalgia and musical expertise featuring the exceptional music of Dire Straits, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.

Formed in 2000 MONEY FOR NOTHING has become the most successful tribute to Dire Straits in the UK.

 

This fine group of musicians recreates the sight and sound of the Straits in their heyday. Their spectacular show includes all the great Dire Straits hits - ‘Sultans of Swing’, ‘Walk of Life’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘Brothers in Arms’ etc. Fronting the band is the brilliant guitarist and Mark Knopfler sound-alike Aled Williams. Behind him the line-up features top-class musicians that make this band a worthy tribute to Dire Straits.

Recently featured on BBC 2’s ‘Arena’, ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? is now recognised as the leading Hendrix tribute in the world! Guitarist John Campbell bears more than just a passing resemblance and has drawn on his many years of playing in different bands and various styles to perfect his ‘Hendrix’ persona. When he plays his strat behind his head and with his teeth, it brings a smile to the face of even the most finicky Hendrix fan. Are you Experienced capture the excitement and explosive stage show of the JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE. Let the band take you through all the favourites like ‘Hey Joe’, ‘Voodoo Chile’, ‘All Along The Watchtower’, ‘Foxy Lady’ and ‘Little Wing’, culminating in the guitar-burning finale of Wild Thing.

CLASSIC CLAPTON is The World's No1 Eric Clapton Tribute Band performing all of
EC's classic songs including ‘Wonderful Tonight’, ‘Crossroads’, ‘I Shot The Sheriff’,
‘Cocaine’ and of course ‘Layla’! Guitarist/vocalist Mike Hall not only looks like Eric, he sings and plays guitar like him too! In 1999, Mike won a national look-alike competition held at Madam Tussauds in London. Mike has met Slowhand twice, and even received a message of encouragement from the guitar maestro (written on a Concorde menu).

Tyne Tees Television were so impressed, they made a programme about them, called 'Cover their Tracks', shown in August 2000 to rave reviews. Since then ‘Classic Clapton’ have performed all over the UK including concerts at The Royal Festival Hall and Glastonbury Festival.
