FREE EVENT Formed in late 2014, The Good Old Fashioned Lover Boys strive to bring the sound and passion of Queen, live to a venue near you. Made up of five talented young musicians from various backgrounds they’ve spent time recreating and crafting Queen’s signature sound. By blending both Live and studio styles of the legendary bands greatest hits The Good Old Fashioned Lover Boys manage to faithfully recreate the energy that gave Freddie, Brian, Roger and John their deserved status’. Having toured with their many other rock bands over the years, playing festivals like Download, Boardmasters, Hell fest and playing a massive amount of other venues across the country, they’ve learned their stage craft the hard way. Tim Kellow (Vocals) and Scott Lawlor started the band after their original band Everything Burns disbanded after a successful career, with the singing of a record deal followed by the release of 2 albums, they then decided they needed a change. Finding that a cover band was the thing that met their needs, the excitement of live performance without having to put in the writing hours giving them more time for their families. Dan Cook (Bass) had previously shot two music videos for Everything Burns and was also itching to get back to gigging so after a brief conversation the guys decided to recruit Jack Callow (Keys/backing vocals). After a few rehearsals the suggestion of playing a few Queen covers came up the guys reveled in the challenge and after a few more rehearsals the band sat down and decided to start off being a Queen cover band with the aspiration of being a full-blown function band soon after. The decision was made to recruit long time friend Will Nash (drums) thus the line up was solidified and thus The Good Old Fashioned Lover Boys were born. 2015 is the year to keep an ear to ground cause The Good Old Fashioned Lover Boys are coming and there bringing an arsenal of Freddie and co’s hits!!
