Ultimate Queen tribute set for Moate"s Tuar Ard
David Hull Promotions presents "Flash Harry" - the ultimate tribute to Queen in the Tuar Ard Centre on Friday, December 12, at 8.30pm.
This high energy show will take you back in time to when rock anthems, guitar riffs and drum solos excelled. Featuring the greatest of Queen"s many hits.
They"ve been together so long now with the same line up it"s more like Flash Harry the family than Flash Harry the band! The band have been celebrating the music of Queen all over Ireland and the UK for over 13 years, where they have played sell-out gigs to Queen fans young and old, recreating the legend and undeniably keeping the flame alive.
Flash Harry have impressed all who have seen them with the sheer brilliance of their show which incorporates all the elements which were Queen"s trademark: extravagance, excellence in musicianship, professionalism, humour and of course the icing on the cake, Harry Hamilton whose portrayal of Freddie is nothing short of breathtaking!
Their track record speaks volumes for the quality of their show.
They have sold out major venues time after time, including Belfast"s Grand Opera House on no less than 13 separate occasions and Belfast"s Waterfront Hall four times to date. Thanks to Joy and Chris Kamar of K Music Management they took on Ireland"s largest concert venue - The Point Depot in Dublin, where they performed to almost 6,000 ecstatic fans. In February 2000 they travelled to Dubai, where they went down a storm with the Arab and ex-pat community! In 2001 working with David Hull Promotions they completed an extensive and very successful tour of Ireland and the UK. They have also taken their show to the USA again thanks to K Music Management performing four shows in Atlantic City"s largest concert venue the Tropicana Hotel Showroom. The shows were a huge success receiving rave reviews and more importantly a return invite to Las Vegas in January 2005.
As the Sunday World put it: 'Don"t turn away with the idea that Flash is a mere novelty band. These guys can play... the music, the movement, the attention to detail and Harry Hamilton"s uncanny likeness to Freddie Mercury will ensure that people continue to marvel at their shows for years to come.'
One of their greatest accolades received was when they were invited to perform at the Official International Queen Fan Club"s annual convention in Prestatyn, Wales, in April 1997. They performed in front of 2,500 of Queen"s most ardent supporters, and went down a storm! Perhaps the greatest compliment comes from the magazine which could be most critical, The Official Queen Fan Club Fanzine. It is the magazine which put the seal of approval on the band following their performance at the "97 convention - Jacky Smith, who runs the Queen fan club wrote: 'A special thank you to Flash Harry who performed on Friday night and were brilliant!' They were invited back this year to perform at the 20th Official International Queen Fan Club"s annual convention and had their best weekend yet.
When asked if they thought they were being a bit too ambitious by taking on such large and potentially financially disastrous venues, Harry and the boys replied: 'Queen"s music and stage show was the biggest and best in the business and is best seen in these type of venues. Their music is just as popular now as it has always been - the bigger the better!'
Admission on the night is €22/€20. For bookings call Tuar ard on 090 6482042.
