Foo Fighters GB
Bring you the most authentic and genuine recreation of a Foo Fighters gig in the tribute world.
This band has developed an enviable reputation, with years of hard work and a love of Foo Fighters music, which now has them booked throughout the U.K, into Spain, Amsterdam, Germany and beyond. The band have invested heart and soul into creating a genuine sound, using all authentic instruments as used by the Foo’s. Including the drum kit, used by the Foo Fighters at the now legendary Glastonbury headline gig. (The only other kit in the world to this spec).
Now appearing as a seven piece line up with backing vocals and keyboards, the sound is more epic than ever!
Performed in the covered amphitheatre, the Arena at Waterside, with Licensed Bar and Burger Shack
Foo fighters GB are a midlands based tribute band who’s goal is to provide a true-to-life reconstruction of a real Foo Fighters performance at any and every show. They pride themselves in bringing the true, authentic Foo Fighters experience to you.
Over the past 6 years and a few line up changes, the sound that Foo Fighters GB produce has been constantly refined and this is reflected in the equipment that they use; Lead guitarist, Nath Peach and front man, Dan O’Connell, utilise the sounds of a Mesa Boogie and Vox AC30, teamed with Gibson Les Pauls, Explorers and a DG335 and Fender custom shop Telecasters. Bassist, Connor Croxford uses a Fender P bass along with an Ashdown Bass stack. Russ Weller, Drums, has a Gretch USA custom pink, which was custom built to match the kit Taylor Hawkins used at Glastonbury festival. He also has a Gretch USA custom Bell Brass snare and A custom Zildjian cymbals. Jim Freeman, keys, uses a Nord Electro D6.
All of this plus the experience in the field, having played multiple large festivals to tens of thousands of people, mean that Foo Fighters GB provide a ground-breaking, authentic experience at any and every show.
