Jive Talkin'

Renowned as the original and very best Bee Gees tribute show, and THE ONLY Bee Gees tribute show that has actually performed with the original Bee Gees! In 1997 Gary & Darren from Jive Talkin' performed LIVE on HEART FM with THE BEE GEES and received great compliments from both Maurice and Barry Gibb. As with the original Bee Gees, Jive Talkin' is very much a family affair, with brothers Gary and Darren Simmons taking the roles of Barry and Maurice Gibb, with Darren's son Jack joining the group and taking on the role of Robin Gibb. The guys are supported musically by a four piece band with Lead Guitar, Violin, Cello and Drums, to ensure that every note in every song is just right! Wherever the group play they receive superb plaudits; "The Soundalike quality is quite sensational" (The Stage), "Amazing similarity to the real Bee Gees" (Wakefield Express), Absolutely Brilliant (Maurice Gibb), WOW (Barry Gibb)......... For a truly amazing experience and an opportunity to hear all the great Bee Gees hits; Tragedy, Night Fever, Massachusetts, Stayin Alive, Jive Talkin, etc, in a 2 hour explosion of music and vocal harmony, this is a night not to be missed!. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX2rdZLt6qc

CVFolk Up Close and Acoustic with The Cannons

Up Close and Acoustic with Sean and James Cannon An evening of music, chat, stories and surprises presented by CVFolk Former member of The Dubliners, Sean Cannon has delighted audiences across the globe with his lilting tenor voice and his wry sense of humour. Born in Galway, and now for many years based in Coventry, he was a regular and popular performer equally at home in the world's biggest concert halls or the humble back-room folk sessions. Now in his 85th year, Sean still keeps up the annual European and UK tours with The Dublin Legends but hardly ever plays solo gigs on the folk club circuit these days. So this will be an extremely rare local appearance and special occasion for his fans and followers on home territory. Sean has frequently toured and recorded with his talented singer and guitarist son James Cannon, and they will be interviewed together by CVFolk's answer to Graham Norton, Bill Bates with chat and anecdotes plus a few songs and, hopefully, one or two surprise guest appearances. Sean still delights in sharing tales of the 'shenanigans he used to get up to' in the 60s, so expect an evening of warm memories, impish humour and glorious music from someone whose career has affirmed his legendary status in Irish music. The idea behind 'Up Close & Acoustic' is to create an insightful and interactive experience of music by revealing more of what inspires and motivates the musicians.
