The Rezillos formed in 1976 through a shared love of Sixties Garage Rock and the Spectoresque Girl Group glam of The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las. Their debut single, “I Can’t Stand My Baby”, shot them to underground fame initially via airings on BBC Radio 1 John Peel’s radio show. Their classic singles “My Baby Does Good Sculptures”, “Top of the Pops” and “Destination Venus” followed shortly afterwards.
Their landmark album of 1978 “Can’t Stand the Rezillos” reached the top 10 in the UK album chart. They appeared twice on the legendary Old Grey Whistle Test and hit the Top Twenty with their hit single ‘Top of the Pops’. The live recording, “Mission Accomplished… But the Beat Goes On”, LP swiftly followed before the band promptly broke up to the anguish of fans and music critics alike.
The Rezillos reformed recently and toured the UK as special guests of The Stranglers promoting their first album in 36 years, the critically acclaimed “Zero”.

‘The Korgis are a British pop band known for the hit singles ‘Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime’, ‘If I Had You’, ‘Dumb Waiters’, ‘If It’s alright With You Baby’ and many more.
Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime’ was a massive worldwide hit and ‘If I Had You’ is often cited as a favorite love song of all time. Add to that the George Martin produced album ‘The Man With the Bowler Hat’ by Stackridge, of which James was a founder member, and it becomes clear that the fanbase for The Korgis is huge
The band, now led by original singer/bassist James Warren (also a founding member of the 1970s band Stackridge), includes vocalist John Baker and guitarist Al Steele from the 90s Korgis. Glenn Tommey – session player with Stackridge/The Korgis – and powerhouse drummer Paul Smith make up the rhythm section and ‘Born To Win’ provide brilliant backing vocals and bring a vibrant energy to the show.
James and the band have worked hard at creating a show that is musically superb and visually exciting. The set has been designed to bring in fans from all of the eras, going back to the very first Stackridge song ever released, through all the Korgis hits and favourites, the reformed Stackridge of the 2000s as well as new material that is being compared to ‘Lennon at his finest’.
James’ meticulous attention to musical detail has elicited comments such as ‘flawless musicianship’, and ‘breathtaking musicality’.
The shows to date have drawn standing ovations at every performance.’
There are Elvis tributes….. and then there’s Lee Memphis King.
Lee Memphis King, Europe’s most successful Elvis Presley tribute artist, recreates the essence of the King with consummate ease and an almost unbelievable combination of stunningly accurate vocals and incredible passion in every performance.
Over the last 10 years as Lee has toured his ‘One Night of Elvis’ he has picked up numerous accolades and has headlined and sold out some of the most prestigious venues across the UK and beyond. In August 2016 he completed a sell out concert tour of Israel, performing to over 8000 fans.
In this latest production, Lee Memphis King portrays Elvis Presley at his peak celebrating the iconic ‘Vegas Years’ from 1969 – 1977. Resplendent in the most authentic costumes from Elvis’s performance and an orchestra backing this incredible performer prepare to be taken back in time to see Elvis in the way it was.
This brand new production is dedicated entirely to the ‘Vegas Years’ when Elvis would perform in Las Vegas and tour throughout the US and Canada – the definitive record of these performances are contained in the films ‘Elvis- That’s the Way It Is’, ‘Elvis On Tour’ and the ‘Aloha from Hawaii’ concert.
The show is enhanced by an orchestra of world class musicians and backing vocalists coupled with impressive video screen projection mapping out Elvis’s life and music.
Lee Memphis King recreates it all with stunning authenticity – the voice and equally important for Lee, the passion and energy that Elvis put into his songs. He leaves audiences in no doubt that they are witnessing the world’s No 1 Elvis Tribute Artist. Pure entertainment and Pure Presley.

Having performed classic Genesis for nearly two decades, and sell-out shows in Norwich, G2 Definitive Genesis are making their first visit to Epic Studios. G2 pay tribute to a vintage period in Genesis’ long and colourful history with songs from the four-man “Seconds Out” era (1975-78), and earlier Gabriel years.
In the mid-seventies Peter Gabriel had recently departed to be replaced by relatively unknown ‘singing’ drummer Phil Collins. Rather than being doomed to failure, the four man era of Hackett, Banks, Rutherford and Collins lifted the band’s fame to even greater heights with the studio albums ‘Trick Of The Tail’ and ‘Wind and Wuthering’. Successive world tours culminated in three sold out nights at London’s Earls Court and the subsequent release of the live album ‘Seconds Out’, putting Genesis into the super-group category.
Accolades posted online from recent shows include:
“Best Performance by ANY Trib Band (not just Genesis ones either) I have ever seen…”
“Thanks to all the guys from G2 who were out of this world, I really cannot describe how terrifyingly good you guys are.”
Hear classics such as Dance On A Volcano, Ripples, Entangled, Los Endos, Blood On The Rooftops, One For The Vine, and Afterglow, mixed up with the classics of the Gabriel years, Firth Of Fifth, Cinema Show, I Know What I Like and the infamous Suppers Ready. This is vintage Genesis, performed by G2 to a level Genesis themselves would be proud of! Well, Steve Hackett says he likes it…
So take a little trip back and relive those wonderful moments of your Genesis musical history with G2.
