Tribute Bands - anyone been to see one?

I have not seriously considered seeing a Roxy tribute band - as I have thought just not quite the ticket . There is one I have heard about Roxymagic - which plays all over but does have some gigs in my area - the Midlands - has anyone seen them - or any other tribute band ? If so were they any good. Hope its not too heretical a subject - just curious. I did see an Elton John tribute - he was quite good. As Bryan and the boys are being sooooo slow in coming up with the new album and no tour in sight and Bryan with no dates in the UK - thought it might provide a a distraction.............

The first was a Leeds band ,as mentioned here-Roxyrama,who are good,but
I liked a band called Remake/Remodel from Rotterdam.Saw some video's of them playing the early stuff from the debut Roxy album,very good musicians & the lead singer tried his best to replicate BF's unique singing voice.. Martyn; ▶ Reply to This

Saw Roxy Magic live for the first time last week and it was hugely enjoyable - not Roxy of course but an absolute delight to see the music celebrated and played with sheer appreciation and skill - For Our Pleasure...; ▶ Reply to This
