"Personally I really enjoy them, and to be honest I've never seen a bad one. Some people see them as little more than kareoki, but they're always accomplished musicians and always put on a good show, at a price most of us can afford. OK, I'd rather see the "real bands" but they're not all accessable these days, in fact some of 'em aren't even alive, and sadly from experience they don't always live up to their reputations. We're off to Butlins Skeggy next March to the Bootleg Ball. It will be a good weekend. . "That sounds a great event,,,,I've just checked out the list... U2, Kings of Leon, Bon Jovi, ACDC, Madness, Blondie, Stereophonics, Blur, The Rolling Stones, The Specials, Queen, The Beatles, Take That, T-Rex, Oasis, Simply Red, Phil Collins, Earth, Wind and Fire, Duran Duran... Just think of all the uber glam outfits you can wear....It'll be brilliant | |||

" No that was Gary Mullen he used to do karaoke in The Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow Magic were going long before he was around and think they still are. Tribute bands are in the main very good and you get more than the 3/4 of an hour that some of the originals think is enough for you 100 quid. | |||
