» The Queens

» Profile

In 2006 the Queens successfully headlined many prestigious events, including the Cowes week festival, (to a sell out 6,000 crowd) and the Queen fan club convention in Prestatyn. Following their outstanding performances, the Fan club has asked them back to play at their September 'Freddie Mercury birthday celebrations' in Bournemouth.

The Queens are the most authentic sounding and visually exciting Queen tribute band you'll ever see. Completely live and without any backing tracks, they bring you the look, sound, raw energy and showmanship of a 'Queen' concert, emulating their most memorable performances at Live Aid & Wembley ’86.

So if you missed the real thing, check out the next best thing.

"They were extremely impressive, great sound and show."
- Jacky Smith, Official International Queen Fan club

"One of the few tribute bands I have seen doing it completely live, and the 5,000+ audience loved every minute of their performance, ‘Freddie’ had them eating out of the palm of his hand, just like the real thing. Thanks again for an excellent night."
- Glenn Annett, Cowes Marina Yacht Haven Events Manager

Portsmouth University Freshers ball - 3rd Oct 2005
"The ‘Queens’ performance was outstanding; those guys are one of the best tributes available. Their sound was authentic and their look was spot on. ‘Freddie’ had several costume changes the entire band were in character. They were very easy to work with and carried themselves with a high level of professionalism. If you are looking for top quality entertainment for any event you need look no further than these guys."
- Richard Dore-Dennis, Portsmouth University Student Union Events Manager

"Appearing for the first time at the Wedgewood Rooms, this group was simply outstanding. When the singer emerged, clad in white trainers, trousers and vest, and later in the performance in the crown and cape, he was Freddie Mercury. All of the Queen hits were played to perfection, and the evening finished with ‘I want to break free’. Freddie came on clad in stockings and high heels, pushing a vacuum cleaner, just as the video, fantastic. This is not a show to miss if they visit again."
- Micheal Southwell, Portsmouth News

"Thanks for a fantastic show, Colin as ‘Freddie’ was a real star, the place was full and everyone had a great night. We’ve had many enquiries as to when you are coming back, and look forward to your next appearance in May."
- Bryn Lewis, Owner of The Brook, Southampton

"I would like to thank you and your band for an incredible performance at our xmas party. Your act was thoroughly entertaining and highly professional. I have no hesitation in recommending you to others and will certainly use you again for future events."
- Layla Tugwell, Service Manager, Bath Pavillion

"Thank you for the superb show, every body had a fantastic time and we had many compliments about how good you were. 'Freddie' was just out of this world, the way he played the audience; the great man himself would have been impressed. This was the fifth year of these charity events, and our first one to sell out in advance,. I have thanked Jackie at the Queen fan club for recommending you, but am left with a bit of a dilemma, how on earth do I top the Queens performance at next years event?"
- Chris Fugeman, Chairman - Dengie Hundred Round Table

"Many thanks to you for performing with such great enthusiasm and commitment and reproducing the original Queen sound. You are by far the best Queen tribute we have seen, and the number of compliments we had on the night was a testament to the quality of your performance. The atmosphere was wonderful as ‘Freddie’ strutted his stuff around the bar, faithfully recreating the mannerisms of the late great man himself. The two sets covered all the bands hits, ensuring everyone got the chance to sing along, while the atmosphere during ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘Radio Ga Ga’ was especially electric! It was a great night and we hope to book you again soon."
- Steve Hardaker, Manager, The Weary Traveler, Collumpton

"The Queens appeared as the main event at the festival, which was attended by around 4000 people. They gave an excellent performance which went down a storm with the entire audience."
- Ray Varney, Event organizer, Waterside Arts Festival

"Thank your great performance at the Waterside Theatre. Everyone had a fantastic evening, and the event is still being discussed regularly. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to any one else, and are all looking forward to your next appearance."

"The Queens gave a fantastic performance for us last week and went down a storm with the students. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any occasion."
- Saradis Rabias, S.I.S.U. Events Officer

"I am writing to say how much we enjoyed the performance by the Queens; a great evening was had by all. They are the best Queen tribute I have seen. Colin as Freddie Mercury was is a true star, getting the crowd involved and using typical ‘Freddie’ showmanship. The sound was perfect, and the whole band looked the part, and with such a charismatic front man they are perfect for any occasion. I would have no hesitation in recommending this band to anyone and with luck I am hoping to book them in again soon."
- John Stevenson, Entertainment Officer, Bishopstoke Club, Eastleigh

"I am writing to say thank you for the excellent evening, The Queens are an excellent tribute band and are very much like the original. I will be in contact to arrange another date later in the year."
