A musical celebration of 5 musicians, cut short in their prime, that’s what the “27 Club” achieves in spectacular fashion. An incredibly cool 6-piece band take on the tracks of Curt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse and they absolutely smash it. So much talent on stage, its breathtaking.

The back story to this exclusive club is told by the singers and each tragic tale is followed up by their iconic music. The vocals are outstanding and the crowd have the best time at this impossible concert. It’s hard to comprehend how much these talented individuals achieved by the time they reached the grand old age of 27 years.

The musical arrangement is fantastic, and you can tell that the band are having an absolute blast on stage. There’s a real feeling that we’ve been invited to an exclusive gig in a secret basement club. This show is magnificent and it really does bring to life the creative talents of these legendary musicians, genuinely moving at times, as we discover the struggles behind each artist.
What makes “27 Club” a stand out show is the passion and emotion of the live performance, a truly up close and personal experience.
