Tribute acts aren’t just novelty acts for office parties or comedy support band, they’re big business these days and it is not  unknown for them to be asked to play weddings too. Freak Music has some of the finest tribute acts for hire in Scotland on the roster and here’s a few of the top end options.

Dirty Harry is the only tribute band for the true Blondie fan. Formed in Edinburgh two years, Dirty Harry was borne out of singing doctor, Sarah Kennedy’s desire to create a act which could play homage to everyone’s favourite rock goddess,  and to the band who practically invented Power Pop, Blondie. Nearly four decades after Blondie emerged onto the anarchic downtown New York punk scene Sarah struck gold on Gumtree and found four of Edinburgh’s finest musicians to complete the line up. In the annals of rock Blondie is unique; their back catalogue has proven to be timeless and with Ms Harry at the front, whats not to like guys?

There are some very good tribute bands out there who play the songs and play them very well and there is DurananDuran. This tribute to a band from Birmingham who helped launch MTV in America in 1982 and who were at the cutting edge of an often under-rated pop culture phenomenon, it needs to be more than just playing the songs. A band who became an influence on everyone from The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Beck and The Lost Prophets (and sold about 120 million albums when selling plastic was all the rage) to The Orb and The Arctic Monkeys then you’ve got a lot of work to do.

You probably weren’t aware there’s an act out there who go out as a double act of George Michael and Elton John tribute, well, welcome to Wham Bam RocketmanThis act is the biggest, best and newest tribute band to two of the most iconic singer/songwriters Great Britain has ever produced. A show which brings all the classic songs from both artists from every era. Recreating an uncanny likeness both in appearance and vocals and backed by a truly amazing live band, and yes, they do play Don’t let the sun go down on me.

Rihanna Reloaded is the UK’s most accurate tribute to Rihanna. With identical choreography and flawless vocals this act covers all the superstar’s biggest hits and with 7 chart topping albums the set is full of non stop floor fillers. This show tries to recreate the best moments from each of Rihanna’s 4 world tours. Replica tour and video costumes help this act create the ideal Rihanna show. The show can booked with 2 to 6 professional dancers depending on budget this all helps recreate that concert feel in any venue!
