The Smiths Tribute Night
7:30pm - 10:00pm
Price: £15 advance/£18 on the door + 10% booking fee
After an extensive search to find the perfect Morrissey, the band played their first gig to an audience of avid Smiths fans. The response was spectacular and the band now plays at venues and festivals all over the UK.
Highlights include playing in front of a 2500 capacity crowd at The Manchester Academy, 4000 on the main stage at Bestival, Camp Bestival, Kendal Calling and 15000 at Spike Island The Resurrection.
If you never saw The Smiths then this is your chance to experience the thrill of those great songs played live. If you were lucky enough to see them first time around then prepare to relive that excitement again.
Committed to getting the same energy that Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce had onstage together, the band are also obsessed about getting that live sound just right.
With an authenticity and provenance that’s hard to beat The Smiths Ltd are the ultimate tribute.
The Smiths meant everything to a generation… To us they still do.
