JLS to split but it's not the end for the JLS Tribute Bands!

JLS Tribute Band - JLS Adventure staying together!

JLS have announced that they will be splitting up after a Finale Tour which is scheduled to be in December 2013!

After two Brit Awards, five MOBO Awards, five number one hits, and selling more than ten million records Aston, Marvin, JB & Oritse have decided to call it quits and pursue different ventures.

However, it's not the end for their JLS Tribute Bands who will continue to work on.........but why?

Well, JLS are planning one last single, a farewell greatest hits album and as mentioned a 'Goodbye' arena tour! 

The media coverage that the breaking news has caused, is renewing interest in their tribute bands and especially one in particular called JLS Adventure! 

Steven (pictured top left above) the lead vocalist and manager of the tribute band said on hearing the news of JLS's split "I'm really sad about it!  I actually know the boys so I did know this was coming, but as far as JLS Adventure are concerned it's already creating even more demand for us!"

The JLS Tribute Band - JLS Adventure are available from the StarBookers Entertainment Agency on 0845 680 5056 or visit our website at www.starbookers.com

Girls Aloud Tribute Bands Are Back In The Limelight!

They are the most successful UK girl band ever, and now Girls Aloud have not only reformed but are thought to be due to release a brand new single!

Girls Aloud Tribute Band - Girls Alouder

Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts are now household names, but it was on 30th November back in 2002 that ITV1 talent show Popstars The Rivals formed the group and catapulted them to twenty consecutive top ten UK hits, 4 platinum albums, concert tours and numerous awards!  Now they're back with a teaser video of what is thought to be a new single and news of a special announcement on Friday 19th October 2012 on the official Girls Aloud website!

Already the enquiries have resurged for the Girls Aloud Tribute Bands, Girls Alouder, Girls B Loud, Girls R Aloud and Girls Out Loud, who will be all too keen to add any new single to their repertoire.  The question though is how will this affect the enquiries and subsequent bookings for these Girls Aloud tributes?  Well it really does depend on a few factors:  how popular will a new single be; will there be an album;  will there be a tour; and subsequently how popular will a possible album and tour be with not only the public, but also the general press and industry critics as a whole?  I suppose we'll all just have to wait until this Friday to begin to find out, but if Cheryl Cole's new autobiography is anything to go by then we may be hearing of a greatest hits collection and a final headline tour!!

Okay, coming up this year we've got the London 2012 Olympics in July & August, the England Football Team competing at Euro 2012 in June, and a little celebration this weekend that is uniting the whole country - The Queens Diamond Jubilee!  So what could be better enterainment for a good old knees up and sing-a-long than music by Chas n Dave - or at least a tribute act to them!  

Chas n Dayve

The Greatest Take That Tribute Band perform in Bahrain!

A sensational night was had by all in the searing heat in Bahrain as The Greatest Take That Tribute Band flew 4000 miles, courtesy of sponsors British Airways to perform at The British Club in Manama!

 

The show, which took place at the beginning of May 2012 was a special outdoor 'Take That' tribute night concert for members and guests held in the venues grounds.  The Greatest were chosen above all other Take That tribute acts to perform due to their uncanny & unrivalled soundalike ability and because of the inclusion of Matthew Holbrook (aka Millennium) the No.1 Robbie Williams tribute act within The Greatest's 2 hour Take That tribute show.  Matthew had previously performed in Bahrain in November 2009, which culminated in him jumping from the stage into the pool at the end of his show!  Funnily enough everyone remembered him!

 

"What a trip!  What a night!  What a show!"  Were the comments from The Greatest boys, but what they forgot to mention was the 'No need to Relight Your Fire' heat at 44°C heat (108F), which made for a very interesting sound check during the afternoon and a sweltering show at night!

 

Things are also hotting up for The Greatest Take That Tribute Band internationally as corporate demand for the show is growing worldwide.  With Germany, Scotland, Wales and now Bahrain, plus with Italy, Spain, and Malta to come in August this year, The Greatest have confirmed themselves as the first truly 'International' corporate Take That Tribute Band!

 

The Greatest even caught the attention of the Bahrain press with an article in the Gulf Daily News newspaper and due to the success of the show a rebooking is already in the pipeline!

 

The Greatest wish to thank once again the official sponsors British Airways, and especially The British Club for everything, they hope to see you all again very soon!
