* What makes a tribute night work?
Well indeed it only works if the tributes are of a high quality and the combinations are right. All of our acts are completely dedicated to the stars they are portraying, this is not tongue in cheek it's the professionalism of the business giving you the feeling with a little imagination that it could almost be real. We have created a world class team of performers in Australia, giving people a taste of nostalgia. The demand for this style of entertainment is phenomenal world wide and we embrace this because the effect on people is memorable and emotional. We generally put 3 to 4 acts together to make a night. Tribute combinations will cover a 3 hour period with breaks between acts.

* What happens prior to the show and between breaks?
We provide very well thought out CD music to build the night, when guests arrive we believe there is a time frame required to greet, meet and have a few drinks to get everyone in the mood and allow the anticipation factor to set in.

* How does a show work with no band on stage?
We have a tried and tested formula with solo / duo tributes and have battled long and hard to convince clients that this is not an issue and now have a very healthy track record. Our shows have very creative lighting and production to give guests a concert style atmosphere. This lighting is known as an intelligent light show or moving lights.  To add impact we provide a follow spot as all tribute performers are very interactive with guests and encourage audience participation and dancing, it's not a sit down concert, it's party time!!. Some of our tributes do have the live band component and choreographed dancers.

* Will they get up and dance?
Your guests will be dancing and singing all night long. Our shows are formatted so that the tribute acts only perform the classic hits and not the songs you've never heard before.
 

*What are the requirements to put on a tribute night?
All tribute acts require a change area close to stage and indeed a stage. Stage sizes should be a minimum of 5 metres x 3.metres x 600mm. If there is no change area close to stage our production team will often use hanging blacks to cordon off. A full length mirror is always a bonus as acts can ensure they look their very best. Power supply can be an issue and it is preferred that you have 32 amp 3 phase power outlet to allow us to engage the complete light show and concert sound, however the show can run on 10amp power.
 

* How do we promote our event?
We provide you with colorful posters and artwork with personal information can be arranged.

* What if I only want 1 or 2 tributes?
For private parties we often provide our specialised DJ's who have the appropriate equipment as in mixing console, lighting effects and radio mic. Floorshow's usually perform for 30 minutes to add high impact.
 

* Private Club Functions
The growing list of sporting and social clubs that have had our shows is well documented and the recipe is successful with clubs making good profits from ticket and bar sales. Many Clubs package these events as "Light supper and Show " or "Dinner Show"
 

* Corporate Events
"A Night with the Stars" or "Legends in Concert" are very powerful themes that excite guests and gives you broad based options unlike many other themes that have limitations, our formulas have proven the most successful.
