The Glitz is thrilled to announce that at the start of their 19th year together, live music is still truly alive and kicking!
The band encompasses all the 70s tribute shows in one spectacular party -and it is a totally LIVE show!
The Glitz use no backing tapes - even their full length version of Bohemian Rhapsody is totally live.
They also use no sequencers as they try to use authentic instrumentation from the period.
Is Britain ready for the riotous rock fusion of 70s glam meets Spinal Tap? You decide!

The Glitz is thrilled to announce that at the start of their 17th year together, live music is still truly alive and kicking!
Last year saw even more legendary festival appearances, including some really rocking events supporting some true 70's icons such as Suzi Quatro, The Rubettes, Lieutenant Pigeon, Showaddywaddy and the most fun of all – Slade’s homecoming gig at the Robin 2 at Bilston! An electric atmosphere!
New fans often comment on the similarity of The Glitz to The Darkness – they’re flattered but prefer to stick to the truth- they are much nearer to 'sons and daughters' of Queen. Still, all of these bands believed that you can play music to a really high standard and still have some fun!

The variety of their set is one reason why many people say they love the shows, rockers enjoy the Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper side of the show while the glammy's adore T Rex, Sweet, Mud, Slade and even the Osmonds or The Bay City Rollers!
There is always room for a few smash hit disco tracks: Bee Gees, Grease Medley and more, plus popular stuff from Steve Harley, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Abba and Queen.

The Glitz are able to perform one cabaret hour, one and half hours straight through (usually for rock venues), or 2 x 45 minutes with encore if requested.
The band also automatically tailors their sets to the type of venue. For example, a rock venue will get the rockier end of material - Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Alice Cooper, plus all the general glam rock greats.
A cabaret style venue will get the more melodic pop/ glam - Bay City Rollers, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, Grease Medley, Bee Gees, plus T-Rex, Queen, Slade, and so on...
A dancing audience will get more of the disco material - K C and the Sunshine Band, Boney M, Village People, etc..
And then, if the audience is a real mixture - so is the set!
It is all 70's dress in glam gear and all the music is totally live with lots to watch and join in with!
