The World's No1 Eric Clapton Tribute Band will be making their first ever appearance at Newcastle City Hall in December. The band features front-man Mike Hall who not only looks like Eric, he sings and plays guitar like him too! Fans are advised to book early.
This will be a special concert to celebrate the anniversary of their first gig which took place not far from The City Hall in December 1985. They were formed in Newcastle and originally named themselves ''After Midnight'' after Eric Clapton’s first solo hit. In the past 25 years they have become one of the best-loved bands on Tyneside.
Tyne Tees Television made a documentary about them called “Cover Their Tracks”. The programme was shown in August 2000 and received rave reviews, leading to national recognition.
The band comprises 4 excellent musicians who stunningly recreate Slowhand's electrifying stage performances. The whole of EC's illustrious career is covered including Cream, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds, Derek & The Dominos and the solo years.
CLASSIC CLAPTON have toured throughout the UK and Europe including numerous sell-out shows. They have performed at The Royal Festival Hall and Glastonbury Festival where they were a major success. The band has also performed in Estonia, Spain and Holland. In July 2009 they even appeared in Mumbai!
The show is a 2-hour journey through the music of Eric Clapton including all of his hits - Wonderful Tonight, I Shot The Sheriff, Lay Down Sally, Crossroads, Tears in Heaven, Layla and even an Unplugged segment.
