there… Ziggy Stardust, Life on Mars, Starman, All the Young Dudes, Rebel-Rebel,
China Girl… and so many more.
Chris Burke, has an unmatched vocal similarity to
Bowie. His vocal ability allows you to enjoy each song being performed as you’d
want them to be. Perfectly recreating his voice. Close your eyes… you’d think
he was in the room. But it’s not just about the vocals. The musicianship and
talent of the other band members is truly world class. The line-up includes
Jeff John (Lead Guitar), John Wilmott (Bass), Colin Elward (Keyboards), Simon
Harry (Rhythm Guitar), Gareth Addey (Drums) and Mike Davies (Saxophone).

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!
