'The Jackie Generation' are a 6 piece ‘totally live’ 70’s tribute show with both male & female lead vocals. Featuring, the incredible Janey Bombshell, arguably one of the finest female singers in the UK. Janey adds some real ‘Agnetha glamour’ alongside co-lead vocalist Mark Keen, singing sensation with ‘The Blunter Brothers’ & ‘Boogie Wonderland’. Musicians include guitarist Greg Hart, who has played with bands such as ' Asia', 'Mike Oldfield', & 'Limehouse Lizzy'. Completing the line-up is 'Ultravox' & 'Boogie Wonderland' Bassist Gary Williams, 'Bad Boy Boogie' AC/DC drummer/vocalist Stevie Weaver, & the wizardry of keyboardist/Vocoder Andy Stewart, who has been musical director on many top theatre productions on the South Coast, and is the grandson of the late great Arthur Askey!
The live shows to date have already taken the band into some of the most prestigious of venues, and they have literally whipped up a ‘Seventies sea of nostalgia’ to ecstatic fans wherever they play. The show has been critically acclaimed as the ‘finest 70s tribute show in years’, with Janey & Mark’s extraordinary vocals in particular being described as ‘West End quality’.
With a set list boasting an impressive range to suit all ages, with the emphasis on great 'hit' songs and dance-ability from this golden era of music. ‘The Jackie Generation’ show will take you down memory lane with some of the biggest classic hits from the 70s, many that most bands would not dare to attempt! 10cc, John Miles, Wings, ELO, Andrew Gold, The Carpenters, & Donna Summers epic ‘Macarthur Park’ are just some of the highlights in this pop packed show that also includes the ultimate party tunes to get people up and dancing. From David Essex, Abba, Sweet, Suzi Quatro, Boney M, The Osmonds, David Cassidy, Elton John, Kiki Dee, Queen, T.Rex , & Olivia Newton John you cannot help but join in the fun! The bands highly energetic and visual presentation is completed with genuine 70s costumes with all the glitz and blitz you would expect from this colourful era of denim, satin & leather. Completed with a massive backdrop, & original ‘Chopper Bikes’ (stage size allowing), this show really is not to be missed.
“So come join the band in their travelling 70s time machine, back to the days when pop really was at its peak!”
