Rhapsody

» Profile

Formed in 2005 after a year in a rehearsal studio, Rhapsody is a 5-piece band and has performed at some of the most prestigious events from Hampton Court Palace to Fribourg Festival Switzerland. Corporate clients include the BBC, RAF, Royal Navy, British Army, IOD London, Dabs Awards Ceremony, Official Queen Fan Club and Snowdome. Rhapsody is perfect for high end corporate events, awards evenings and conference gala dinners, private events, weddings, theatres, clubs and smaller venues.

Rhapsody Is This The Real Queen was chosen after much deliberation, as it is immediately synonymous with Queens greatest and best known song Bohemian Rhapsody. Is This The Real Queen states categorically that we are paying homage to one of the greatest rock bands in the world. Heres the subtle bit, Is This The Real, are also the first four words in the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rhapsody does not perform to backing tapes but play everything live and are guaranteed to maximise audience participation and enjoyment with Queenss greatest hits. Rhapsodys performance is as much a visual experience as it is a listening one. There are numerous costume changes available covering the glamour rock days of the 1970s to the Magic years of the 1980s. Costumes of course include an authentic Hoover Junior and a full length Robe and Crown.

Upon request and subject to availability Rhapsody can perform a live rendition of Barcelona with talented young soprano Amy Fuller.

Although the world will never again see Queen perform with the great Freddie Mercury, Rhapsody will, with breath-taking accuracy, reproduce the same high energy show that became the trade-mark of the worlds greatest rock band
