Description
Live Forever - Scotland's Tribute to Queen (available for one set up to 60 minutes or 2 x 45 minute sets)
I have performed as a solo Freddie Mercury tribute act for over 20 years, travelling the country and playing iconic music venues such as The Ferry in Glasgow and Scotland's biggest tribute venues, hotels and events. However, in March 2020, I decided to take the show to an entirely new level, with the backing of a full live band. I felt this was the ultimate direction to take for that authentic Queen sound, and the addition of outstanding and experienced musicians George (on guitar), Ro
... bert (on bass) Alan (on drums) and Sean (on keyboard) propelled the show to new heights.
Within months of launching the band, ‘LIVE FOREVER’ went on to secure and smash gigs at Glasgow’s Hard Rock Cafe, Slay, Ivory Black’s and most recently, headlining the Pink Flamingo stage at Rewind Festival Scotland and Rewind North in Cheshire in the summer of 2023.

Biography
I have been entertaining audiences throughout Scotland for 30 years including 20 years as Scotland's established Freddie Mercury tribute, and latterly with my band 'Live Forever - Scotland's tribute to Queen' who headlined Rewind Festival's 'Pink Flamingo' in Perth and Cheshire in 2023.
In 2017, I was part of a 5 piece vocal harmony group, SCOTSOUL, who reached the grand final of BBC1's prime time music show 'Pitch Battle', having sung live with soul legend Chaka Khan. I have also featured on a fly on the wall documentary for the BBC 'Viva Variety' which aired initially in 2014, and was r
... epeated in subsequent years.
At the end of lockdown, I trained as a TV presenter with London's prestigious training provider 'The Presenter Studio' before launching my own local TV channel in 2021 'Loch Lomond TV'.
