About Me

Who's Who is a dynamic powerful tribute band from the U.K with all of the energies, passion and angst of The Who at their peak. They recreate the classic hits whilst evoking the atmosphere of those heady times for a new generation to witness and for the older one’s to relive.Who's Who's exciting live performances with Townshend's leaping and Daltrey's microphone whirling antics receive incredible reactions country wide. But it’s not just about the theatrics; they are widely recognised and respected by their musical peers, and The Who hierarchy as the LEADING Who tribute style band in the country. Fans of the band include Simon Townshend, Doug Sandom (The Detours), Peter “Dougal” Butler, John Schollar (Beachcombers) and the Moon Family. Gary, (vocalist) has been personally praised by Pete Townshend, and their interpretation of the original sound, is widely regarded as the best (and closest) that anyone will ever get to recreating the feeling and energy of The Who at their peak!The band is a five-piece and incorporates keyboards in order to authentically reproduce the full orchestration of albums such as, 'Who's Next', 'Quadrophenia' and 'Tommy'.Who's Who began in 1996 and has gone from strength to strength playing to audiences of over 7,000 people at festivals and playing in countries such as Germany, Switzerland, France and the Middle East. They celebrated the 35th anniversary of "Live at Leeds" in 2005 by touring extensively and performing the whole of "Tommy" and "A Quick One" to audiences in England and Scotland, amid critical acclaim. And again in London on 1st April 2006 they were invited back for a second time since 1998 to play at the “2006 International Who Convention“, performing Quadrophenia in its entirety, which led to Simon Townshend addressing an avid Who audience with his (now famous) comment, “what an absolutely brilliant band Who’s Who are!”With the raw power, passion and soul of the members that make up Who’s Who; this is more than a “Grumbleweeds” styli outing in the context of what tributes are meant to be. It delivers so much more, and is an essential ingredient to the legacy of just what The Who have left their fans and the world.Ignore them at you peril!Who's Who are: Gary-vocals Pete-guitar Terry-bass Moonie-drums Matt-Keyboards.
