THERE”S a chance to experience the world’s first and best Fleetwood Mac tribute band when they play a gig in Devon later this summer.
Fleetwood Bac, endorsed by none other than the legend that is Mick Fleetwood himself, are the only Mac tribute to authentically replicate the classic 'Rumours' line-up. And audiences will get a chance to see and hear the band live when they take to the stage of Exeter’s Corn Exchange on August 10
Over the last few years they have received rave reviews from 'The Stage' newspaper, the UK's leading Fleetwood Mac fan sites, the official Stevie Nicks website; and from ecstatic audiences wherever the band played, wowing audiences as far afield as Dubai, St. Tropez, the Cayman Islands and Monte Carlo, and recently selling out at the world-famous Minack Theatre in Cornwall.
Fleetwood Bac have also been rated by The Times newspaper as one of the UK's top 5 tributes, alongside The Bootleg Beatles, Bjorn Again and the Counterfeit Stones.
Fans include original Mac bassist and biographer Bob Brunning, who joined the band several times on stage, and Peter Green's official biographer Martin Celmins.
The sound, the look, the mystical atmosphere and on-stage chemistry are all portrayed with the passion and energy that got the seal of approval from ‘Big Daddy’ Mick, and built up an excellent reputation amongst Mac fans through numerous tours, festival appearances, corporate events and TV and radio slots all over the UK and Europe.
The Fleetwood Bac show focuses on the ‘Rumours’ era of the band, an album that is still the fifth biggest-selling album of all time.
Rumours was the eleventh studio album by Fleetwood Mac, released on in the February 1977.
Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The recording sessions took place as the band members dealt with breakups and struggled with heavy drug usage, both of which shaped the album's direction and lyrics.
Bac’s concert set also inclues several songs from the Peter Green days, plus some of Stevie’s biggest solo hits.
Songs featured (all UK and US hit singles) include: Dreams, Don’t Stop, Go Your Own Way, You Make Loving Fun, Tusk, Gypsy, Everywhere, Oh Well, Rhiannon, Little Lies, Black Magic Woman, Seven Wonders, Say You Love Me, Big Love, Oh Diane, Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, Albatross, Sara, Man Of The World, Hold Me, Green Manalishi, Need Your Love So Bad and The Chain - a selection likley to keep most die-hard Mac fans happy.
