Music Column by Rachel New, Heart FM
by Rachel New from the Heart FM breakfast show
I’ve decided in this age of belt tightening and cut backs the one thing I can’t do without is live music. But the cost of seeing a global superstar is way out of my budget these days.
Which is how I hit upon my greatest idea of 2012 so far... choose the cheaper imitation instead! There’s a tribute band out there to suit everyone’s taste, they’re usually playing on your doorstep for a fraction of the real deal - and the names alone offer entertainment! In March you can enjoy ‘Think Floyd’ in Bilston, ‘I am Beyonce’ in Lichfield, and ‘The Stones’ in Redditch. Unbelievably (confirming rumours he’s still alive) even ‘Elvis Presley’ is playing at the LG Arena!!
Now I can’t vouch for the virtues of ‘Definitely Might Be’ (Oasis tribute in Stourbridge) or ‘The Kast off Kinks’ (in Bilston) but I bet it’s a good night out, a chance to sing along to all your favourite songs without breaking the bank.
