Legendary bands Foreigner and Journey are giants of the AOR
(Adult Orientated Rock) and Classic Rock genres, attracting huge audiences as
live acts since forming in the 1970’s. The two bands have achieved massive
commercial and critical success and both sold in excess of 80 million albums,
with their supreme musical quality ensuring that they’ve never been victims of
trends or passing fashions, and even their earliest hits are still being played
on radio shows worldwide every day.

Sadly for those in the UK, their shows over here have been
few and far between, and most fans of their music have not experienced the
thrill of hearing it played live.

Thankfully, however, the next best thing is here in the
shape of the award-winning band A FOREIGNERS JOURNEY.

A Foreigners Journey proudly won both the “UK’s Number 1
Tribute to Foreigner
” and the “UK’s Number 1 Tribute to Journey
awards at the National Tribute Music Awards.

Their talent has also been acknowledged by Jeff
Pilson, bass player of Foreigner,
who said “Check out this
amazing band, they rock!”

They have toured throughout the UK and Europe for the last
12 years, headlined a number of festivals and played to packed theaters and
venues, safely establishing themselves as one of the most respected and known
tribute shows around.

Featuring the incredible vocals and stage presence of Adam J
Oades, and cherry picking the very best and most iconic songs from each of the
two bands, to create a carefully balanced set- list, including bonafide rock
classics such as the massive anthem Don’t Stop Believin’, Cold As Ice,
Separate Ways, Juke Box Hero, Feels Like The First Time,
to gentler
power ballads like the hits I Want To Know What Love Is, Faithfully,
Waiting For A Girl Like You, Open Arms
and many more, A Foreigners
Journey take things far beyond a mere ‘tribute act’ and turn their show into a
living, breathing and powerful experience.

Ian Danter of Planet Rock summed
up their show in his review “Great mix of classic songs delivered
impeccably”

It is guaranteed to be an evening to remember and a real
treat for all those who love quality, commercial rock, performed with passion.

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.

As 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!

Wherever 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)………

For 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!

The band’s cast members, as well as being talented instrumentalists and singers, are hugely dedicated Beatle fans, intent on recreating their individual character on stage. Their uncanny vocal resemblance to the Fab Four is due to their upbringing in the same place…Liverpool.

Their breath-taking attention to detail has drawn the attention of German music companies, Hofner Guitars and Pyramid Strings, both of whom now endorse them with their products.

With their widespread appeal being more apparent than ever in the varying age groups that continue to follow the band, The Cavern Beatles are widely regarded as being as close to the real thing as they are ever likely to get.

A special feature of the spring 2019 show will be a recreation of the Savile Row "rooftop concert" of 29th January 1969
