SUMMARY:Jive Talkin' perform the Bee Gees
DESCRIPTION:Renowned as the original and very best Bee Gees tribute show\, and THE ONLY Bee Gees tribute show that has actually performed with the original Bee Gees! In 1997 Gary & Darren from Jive Talkin performed LIVE on HEART FM with THE BEE GEES and received great compliments from both Maurice and Barry Gibb. \nAs with the original Bee Gees\, Jive Talkin is very much a family affair\, with brothers Gary and Darren Simmons taking the roles of Barry and Maurice Gibb\, with Darren’s son Jack joining the group in 2014 and taking on the role of Robin Gibb. The guys are supported musically by a four piece band with Lead Guitar\, Violin\, Cello and Drums\, to ensure that every note in every song is just right! \nWherever the group play they receive superb plaudits; “The Soundalike quality is quite sensational” (The Stage)\, “Amazing similarity to the real Bee Gees” (Wakefield Express)\, Absolutely Brilliant (Maurice Gibb)\, WOW (Barry Gibb). \nFor a truly amazing experience and an opportunity to hear all the great Bee Gees hits; Tragedy\, Night Fever\, Massachusetts\, Stayin Alive\, jive Talkin\, etc\, in a 2 hour explosion of music and vocal harmony\, this is a night not to be missed!

SUMMARY:Elvis: As It Was starring Tommy Holland
DESCRIPTION:In 1969\, the King didn’t just return — he exploded back onto the stage. After the world saw him reclaim his crown in the ’68 Comeback Special\, Elvis Presley stormed into the brand-new International Hotel in Las Vegas for his legendary opening shows. Backed by the powerhouse TCB Band\, soaring gospel harmonies\, and a full orchestra\, Elvis blended sweat-drenched rock ’n’ roll\, heart-stopping ballads\, here was a man who had nothing left to prove — and everything to give. Now\, Tommy Holland brings that moment back to life in a breathtaking recreation that will transport you to the front row of 1969. Tommy captures not just the look and the sound\, but the raw\, unstoppable spirit of Elvis at his peak. This isn’t an impersonation — it’s a time machine to the night the King conquered Las Vegas. \nFrom there\, the journey moves to 1972 and the whirlwind spectacle of Elvis on Tour. The Vegas stage gives way to sold-out arenas across America\, as Elvis commands the road with dazzling jumpsuits\, powerhouse vocals\, and the kind of high-octane performances that drove fans into a frenzy. Tommy Holland as Elvis embodies this era with uncanny precision — from the swagger in his walk to the fire in his voice\, from the heartfelt intensity of “American Trilogy” to the rock ’n’ roll punch of “Burning Love.” Every gesture\, every note\, every glance at the crowd is infused with the same passion and electricity that made Elvis’ touring years unforgettable. Get ready to clap\, cheer\, and lose yourself in the show that redefined live entertainment — from the night Elvis conquered Las Vegas to the years he ruled the road. \nLong live the music that shook the world.
