This is a call

-

TRIBUTE Act UK Foo Fighters will be coming to the Ucheldre, Holyhead on Saturday, July 2 as part of their Nothing’s Set in Stone - 2016 Tour.

The UK Foo Fighters Tribute band had a fantastic gig last year in the atmospheri­c space of the former Convent chapel, which is now the Ucheldre Centre.

So it’s great to welcome back the band as seen in Classic Rock, Rolling Stone, Kerrang and NME magazines!

Not many tribute bands get invited on stage to perform with their heroes; and never with one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

UK Foo Fighters Tribute frontman Jay Apperley made history in September 2014 at Brighton’s Concorde 2 when he was personally asked on stage by none other than Dave Grohl to perform White Limo with the actual Foo Fighters!

“That was awesome!” said Dave Grohl afterwards.

Fans of the UK version have known for years, of course, that rarely has a tribute been performed with such obvious love and passion for the music; and lookalike and soundalike Jay Apperley becomes rock legend Dave Grohl both vocally and slinging a guitar.

Their hugely successful UK tour Sonic Motorways - a name cleverly derived from the title of the Foo’s new album, saw them sell out shows in London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and many more as fans flocked in their thousands to see them last year.

Piling through hit after hit, the band perform set lists containing all the classics - such as Everlong and Best of You alongside brand new material from the Foo’s new album Sonic Highways like Something From Nothing and Congregati­on.

They absolutely nail the true vibe of a Foo’s live experience, playing all the singles with extra parts and the sing-alongs bits as well.

All the band members perform down to the closest detail making it a truly unmissable show for any Foo Fighters fan, with a convincing performanc­e by Jay Apperley (as Dave Grohl), Arron Warner (as Nate Mendel), Alex Bailey (as Taylor Hawkins), Jamie Valentine (as Chris Shiflett), and Nick Wight (as Rami Jaffee).

The Ucheldre Cloister Bar will be open from 7pm onwards.

Doors open at 7pm, with the Compilatio­n CD from 7.30pm. The UK Foo Fighters Tribute will be live on stage at 8.15pm, and the show will run for 2 hours and 25 minutes with no interval.
