Completely Hooked

» Profile

In 2006 three professional entertainers who have been in showbiz for more years than they care to remember(!) decided to get together and form a tribute band. Not just any tribute band though, as this was paying homage to the music and humour of one of the most prolific bands of the 70's and 80's - Dr Hook.

They did it for three reasons - firstly being great admirers of this band. Secondly - after jamming together on a number of occasions they found that their voices blended creating a great harmony sound. Thirdly - they were itching to get out on the road and work together!

With two of the guys having performed in a well known comedy act for over two decades, performing all over the UK and the third being an established guitar vocalist they decided to get back to their first love of creating music, being that they were all musicians having started their careers in various bands in the late 60's and early 70's.

The band consists of bass guitar, keyboards and guitar all played live and enhanced with up to the minute technology, including seq drums, strings and brass lines helping them to create a great sound. Coupled with their show stopping harmonies and off the wall Dr Hook type humour, this makes them a must for most venues. Completely Hooked can perform one long show or split as required by the client.

"I had the great pleasure to have recently worked alongside 'Completely Hooked' and was glad that I went on before them! They ripped the place apart with a fantastic show that pays tribute to one of my own favourite groups Dr Hook, which conveys the humour mixed with those terrific harmonies that made them stand apart from many other recording artistes. My background goes back to singing with several bands throughout the sixties and seventies so I know real musicians when I see them!"

"A friend of mine asked me to come along to a local Dr Hook tribute show earlier this year. I've never taken the time to listen to a lot of Dr Hook songs, but have enjoyed those I have heard over the years, 'A Little Bit More' and 'Sylvia's Mother' spring to mind. I'm very, very glad I went along, it was a thoroughly entertaining evening, with the added bonus of some great comedy. If you are looking for a great nights entertainment, I can definitely recommend 'Completely Hooked'."
