Flash Harry to bring their own kind of magic to Cork

- BILL BROWNE

THE death of the late, great, Freddie Mercury robbed the global music industry of arguably one of the greatest showmen ever to have graced its stage.

While he may be gone, Mercury’s memory and music libe on through the numerous Queen tribute bands that ensure a new generation­s of fans are introduced to his legacy and the music the band created.

One such band is Flash Harry, who have been packing out venues across the world for more than two-decades with their powerful renditions of the classic songs made famous by Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.

Having sold out their show at the venue last year, Flash Harry will return to the Cork Opera House with their extravagan­t show on Friday, March 23 for a high-octane night of rocking melodies, instantly recognisab­le guitar riffs and pure, unadultera­ted showmanshi­p.

Front man Harry Hamilton looks every inch the image of Mercury, strutting around the stage exuding the kind of arrogance and style that made Freddie one of the best loved rock performers of all time.

The bands exhilarati­ng set includes all of the classic Queen tunes ranging from the 1970s when they dominated charts across the world to the recordings they made prior to Mercury’s tragic death.

The concert will feature note perfect renditions of a songs from Queen’s extensive back catalogue including ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘We Are the Champions’ and ‘One Vision’ to name just a few

Tickets for the concert, which is guaranteed to have the audience dancing in the aisles, from the Opera House box office on 021 427 0022 priced at €26.
