This seems to becoming an annual event. The Upbeat Beatles once again performing to a sell out crowd at the Town Hall and had the audience singing and dancing along by the second number. There really isn’t much more you can say about this very talented and professional tribute to the Beatles, they cover all the hits and more and throughly enjoy what they are doing. Already penciled in for 2025 hurry up and get your tickets for a fantastic dose of nostalgia.

Robert Schmuck (Billy Joel) makes a fantastic return to Sutton Coldfield Town Hall after last years sell out. This was exactly as it was billed “The Ultimate Celebration” of one of the most iconic artists of all time Billy Joel

Performing with his excellent band they tore through the first few numbers with some wonderful arrangements that had the sell out crowd singing and clapping along before checking in with audience and letting us know what we were in for all the well known songs and some not so well known.

Robert carried on with a beautiful version of “An Innocent Man” and continued with such classics as Just The Way You Are, Tell Her About It, My Life and The Longest Time to name a few.

After the break we were back in full swing with more of those all time classics.

A fantastic and fun filled night with great music and a very happy audience.

Wow what can we say – live and loud rock from the start! amazing songs from Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and many more. History of Rock once again set the Town Hall ablaze with their energetic style and infectious singing and guitar riffs. It was hit after hit and had the crowd out of their seats and dancing from the start. Amazing night.

It was fantastic to see a full house at the Town Hall last night, there was certainly an air of expectation and as the time rolled round to 7.30pm we were asked to welcome The Bohemians to the stage and did the audience do that.. plenty cheering as Freddie marched out in his famous yellow leather jacket and went straight into the opening number and didn’t stop for breathe finally pausing to ask if “Sutton Coldfield Magic on Friday is that alright” which of course it was.

We were treated to all the songs you would expect along with a few less famous numbers and were treated to many costume changes by Freddie.

The band were excellent and played flawlessly the set included all your favourite Queen songs , Its A Kind Of Magic, Another One Bites The Dust,I Wanna Break Free,Under Pressure, Hammer To Fall, Radio Ga Ga, Bohemian Rhapsody; as well as the famous vocal chant De Da De etc etc.

As someone who saw Queen a number of times in the 70’s and early 80’s The Bohemians are truly one of if not the best Queen tribute acts.

Michael Jackson – MJ The Legacy Ft CJ

What a great show from CJ. Not only a good visual resemblance but the moves and swagger were definitely Michael Jackson to a tee. Commencing with some modern hits, he transitioned to the Jackson 5 hits with the aid of his backing singers/dancers who put on amazing show themselves! CJ played the part amazingly and had the crowd up and dancing from the very start. In the second half things really came to life with a full compliment of hits on offer including Dirty Diana, Bad and Earth Song each with costumes and lighting to really set the scene. A particular highlight was Thriller. This played out with ‘red jacket’ being worn and zombie dancers! As a finale, CJ returned to play Man In The Mirror – perfect. Am amazing performance and one which must go down as the best yet at Sutton Town Hall.

“What a superb show. Barry Steele’s chronicling of Roy Orbison’s life was amazing. You can certainly see how he is so popular as he had the room tapping, clapping and singing. Starting with his early work, an added guest included Buddy Holly who provided a different twist. Big O returned and, with The Travelling Wilbury’s collection, the 5-piece band played the classics – Pretty Woman, Crying, I Drove All Night, You Got It, Only the Lonely, In Dreams, California Blue and more. Simply brilliant.

The ELO Encounter

I was lucky enough (old enough) to see the original ELO back in 1975 at Birmingham Odeon. Speed forward 47 years to Sutton Coldfield Town Hall and I could have sworn I was watching the original ELO.

The show flawlessly recreates the fantastic music of ELO in a spectacular show with superb lighting and effects brought together to create an atmosphere that transports you back to heady days of the 70’s and 80’s

The show has an array of talented musicians on guitars, violin, cello and of course drums and keyboards taking us on a journey through ELO’s terrific musical catalogue playing their much loved songs and hits.

It didn’t take long for the audience to be up on their feet singing and dancing along to the wonderful sound.

Would I recommended you see them? 100% I would encourage any music lover out there get your tickets and get transported back to a magical music

The Simon & Garfunkel Story

Sutton Coldfield Town Hall

This touring show of the West End hit is as authentic and exciting as you can get. You could really close your eyes and listen and convince yourself it was the real Simon & Garfunkel on stage in front of you.

Playing to a packed Town Hall the show started with the unforgettable notes of Sounds Of Silence coming from the speakers. The song one of my favourites was performed beautifully.

The show is as it says a story with both Simon and Garfunkel telling their story from humble beginnings in Queens New York to global stardom. As well as I knew the music there were parts of their I had not heard before, such as when they first started they called themselves Tom & Jerry and made one record “Hey, Schoolgirl” in 1957, played here to much applause.

They played the songs in a type of chronological order from the album release dates the first half of the show covering the albums Wednesday Morning 3AM, Sounds Of Silence and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. The second half covering their 2 most successful albums Bookends and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

This is a terrific show for anybody who is a fan of the duo or just likes good music. The show ended with a standing ovation unsurprisingly, and this fan went home very happily remembering days gone by.

Go Your Own Way – Fleetwood Mac Tribute

Go Your Own Way – Such an immersive and atmospheric show with the lead singer (as Stevie Nicks) deep in character. Makes you realise just how many hits Fleetwood Mac had, and how many you know! From foot tapping, guitars and bright lights to long sequence almost ‘prog-rock’ songs with a touch of folk, they sure did Fleetwood Mac proud. The lighting and acoustics at the Town Hall really got the place alive and all who attended went away with smiles of their faces and songs playing in their heads!

Maet Live – Meat Loaf Tribute

So the Never Neverland Express and Maet Live stormed into the Town Hall Friday and Saturday night playing to sell out audiences.

From the set and lighting to the singers and band I have to say this is one of the most professional tribute bands I have seen, and that from a life long Meatloaf fan ( I must have seen him at least a dozen times).

The vocals were powerful and clear courtesy of Craig Halford and the backing singers Jodey Lea and Melissa Gardner. The rest of the band were played brilliantly special mention to Adam Willis great guitar work.

The set was littered with all the hits you would expect and a few surprises you wouldn’t necessarily expect. I would definitely recommended this show it was a classic rock and roll night out with the audience up and dancing
