BON JOVIE

About

Bon Jovie's members have a wealth of experience as performers. They have shared a stage with well known chart topping bands, plied their trade throughout the UK, overseas and as far as the middle east, as well as notching up several TV and radio appearances.

The band boasts a high calibre of musicianship, provided by the likes of guitar virtuoso and session player Geoff Lea, who among others performs with glam rockers Alan Merrill & The Arrows, songwriters of the classic "I love rock n' roll." Drummer Steve Hopgood has graced many a rock band over the years, including Killers, with ex Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Dianno, and 80's metallers Tank, with whom he stills performs, alongside ex Rainbow frontman Doogie White and former Bruce Dickinson band's bassist Chris Dale. Bon Jovie's singer has previously appeared as Jon Bon Jovi on the ITV show "Stars In Their Eyes", and in 2008 recorded an album of original songs produced by Tony Bongiovi, Jon Bon Jovi's cousin, and producer of the first Bon Jovi album, as well as other works by acts such as Aerosmith and Ozzy Osbourne.

Bon Jovie was formed in the summer of 2005, although some of the band members have performed in one Jovi tribute or another since 1999. The band's first gigs were two Carlsberg sponsored festivals in Cyprus, which were soon followed by many club and theatre shows in several different countries.

After a break to pursue other music projects in more detail, Bon Jovie are back with a vengeance. Offering a different angle, Bon Jovie deliver a tongue in cheek set of classic Bon Jovi hits with truck loads of humour and no interest in calling themselves "the No 1 Bon Jovi tribute." The band simply endeavour to have as much fun on stage as possible and make sure that their audience leave the venue wanting to tell their friends they have just witnessed the best Bon Jovi tribute bar none.
