The Ultimate Tribute Combination With Their Live Band
Robbie and Kylie !
Paul Reason is Robbie Williams
Paul Reason is amazing as he performs his show based around a mixture of Robbie's concert and TV performances with a strong emphasis on the humour and showmanship that has made Robbie such a star.
Paul is such a talented performer and has played at a massive range of venues - both large and small.
People in the audience often comment on how they, as big Robbie fans have come to one of Paul's shows not expecting that anyone could do justice to the man himself, and how much Paul captures the look, voice and feel of Robbie. Hard to believe though it is, not everyone is a Robbie Williams fan, and the highest and most rewarding compliment that Paul regularly receives is when even those people say how much they enjoyed the show!
Paul is renowned as the world's best Robbie Williams tribute act - if you want entertainment you've come to the right place!
Faye is KYLIE
The No1 Kylie tribute act in the UK
Don't settle for second best!
During the past eight years Faye has taken the UK and Europe by storm with her stunning tribute to Kylie Minogue.
Her incredible likeness to Kylie has audiences believing they have seen the real thing. Faye's "On a night like this" show is a celebration of Kylies hits and involves a trip down memory lane along with Kylies hits and images.
Faye's show includes various costume changes, as is synonymous with Kylie, her outfits are authentic Kylie costumes. Faye has entertained crowds in top venues in the UK and Europe.
Included in the show are a live band and renditions of hits such as
Cant Get You Out of My Head, Step Back In Time, ON A Night Like This, Better the Devil, I Believe in You and many more............................
With the backing of their live band it promises to be a stunning night
LET THEM ENTERTAIN YOU!
