The World's Only Bon Jovi Tribute To Have Sung With Jon Bon Jovi.

As seen on ITV's International Stars & Their Doubles. Playing Live @ Volunteer Hall, Galashiels, Scottish Borders on Saturday 31st July 2010. Tickets on sale now priced £10 in advance and £13 on doors. This show sold out in 2008 at Jedburgh Town Hall & again at Volunteer Hall, Galashiels in 2009, so be sure to book up early. Doors open at 6.30pm show starts at 8pm with Full bar open throughout.This year will see the band return to Galashiels with support act The Warehouse Announcement.

THE BON JOVI EXPERIENCE ARE THE WORLDS FIRST AND FINEST TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT BON JOVI AND FEATURES JON BON JOVI CLONE FRONTMAN TONY, (JON BY JOVI),ACCOMPANYING HIM ARE 3 OTHER EX BY JOVI MEMBERS, NAMELY JON (TICO) DRUMS, STEVE.C(HUGH) BASS AND STEVE.S(DAVE) KEYBOARDS, HAVING LEFT THE NOW DEFUNKED BY JOVI. WITH EDD, (TOP RICHIE SAMBORA GUITARIST,) IN PLACE, TOGETHER THEY PRODUCE THE LOOKS AND SOUNDS OF THE REAL THING SO CLOSELY THAT, I QUOTE:

"YOU COULD ALMOST BE FOOLED INTO THINKING THAT THIS BAND WAS THE REAL THING" AND "QUITE SIMPLY A MIRROR IMAGE OF THE MAN HIMSELF".

TONY HAS BEEN PERFORMING THE MUSIC OF BON JOVI FOR OVER TEN YEARS NOW AND THE BAND WERE THE FIRST TO BE ASKED TO PERFORM ON THE US NEW JERSEY TRIBUTE ALBUM, "GARDEN STATE OF MIND". HE IS THE ONLY UK BON JOVI TRIBUTE BAND FRONTMAN TO ACTUALLY BE ASKED TO APPEAR ON CHANNEL 4'S BIG BREAKFAST SHOW WITH THE REAL JON BON JOVI AND RICHIE SAMBORA BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO DUE TO COMMITTMENT TO SHOWS ALREADY BOOKED IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

THEY WERE TOLD RECENTLY BY RADIO 1 DJ AND TV PERSONALITY CHRIS EVANS THAT "THEY WERE THE BEST TRIBUTE BAND HE HAD EVER SEEN" AND HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKED TO APPEAR LIVE ON CHRIS' SHOW IN THE FUTURE.

THE BAND HAS A SIGNIFICANT FAN BASE NOT TO MENTION TONY'S VARIOUS TV AND FILM APPEARANCE'S, (ITV'S INTERNATIONAL STARS & THEIR DOUBLES HOSTED BY DALE WINTON, BBC'S DOCTORS SERIES AND BRITISH FILM KINKY BOOTS.).

TONY RECENTLY ATTENDED A COUPLE OF BON JOVI SHOWS HIMSELF AND WAS ACTUALLY MOBBED WHEN HE WAS MISTAKEN FOR THE REAL JON BON JOVI BY HUNDREDS OF SCREAMING BON JOVI FANS AND OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS ASKING FOR AUTOGRAPHS AND PICTURES.

CHAD KROEGER, FRONTMAN WITH BON JOVI'S GUEST BAND NICKELBACK, EVEN PICKED TONY FROM THE FORTY THOUSAND STRONG CROWD AND SAID, I QUOTE, "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GUY HE'S THAT MUCH LIKE JON BON JOVI ITS FREAKY MAN" THEN HAD HIS OWN PHOTOGRAPHER TAKE PICTURES OF HIM.

AS A RESULT TONY HAS BEEN THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION ON THE OFFICIAL BON JOVI WEBSITE FROM PEOPLE ASKING WHO HE WAS, AN HONOUR THAT NO OTHER BON JOVI TRIBUTE BAND FRONTMAN HAS EVER GAINED.

THEN, ON MONDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2006, TONY AND THE BAND RECIEVED THE ULTIMATE ACCOLADE WHEN THEY WERE REQUESTED BY BON JOVI TO PERFOM LIVE AT THE HARD ROCK CAFE IN LONDON FOR THE CELEBRATIONS SURROUNDING BON JOVI'S INDUCTION INTO THE UK ROCK 'N' ROLL HALL OF FAME. DURING THIS PERFORMANCE JON BON JOVI HIMSELF JOINED TONY AND THE BAND ON THE STAGE AND PERFORMED THE SONG 'WHO SAY'S YOU CAN'T GO HOME.' TO THE DELIGHT OF THE SELL-OUT 'BACKSTAGE WITH JON BON JOVI' FANCLUB AUDIENCE OF DIE HARD FANS. YET ANOTHER HONOUR THAT NO OTHER BON JOVI TRIBUTE BAND HAS EVER RECEIVED..

FROM TOURING ALL OVER THE WORLD, (EVERY MAJOR CITY & TOWN IN THE UK,THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, MALTA, HOLLAND, SPAIN, IRELAND AND THE VERY FIRST BON JOVI TRIBUTE TO TOUR THE MIDDLE EAST TO NAME BUT A FEW!) THE BAND HAVE SEEN MANY SELL OUT SHOWS WITH WILD REACTIONS FROM THE CROWDS AND WITH A FULL TOUR SCHEDULE FOR 2010/2011, THE BOYS ARE NO STRANGERS TO LIVING THE ROCK N ROLL DREAM.

SO IF YOU ENJOY STADIUM ROCK AT ITS BEST THIS IS DEFINATLEY A BAND NOT TO BE MISSED.
