Number One The Who Tribute Band And Act in the UK

"I was lucky enough to see them at a sold out Concorde Club, Brighton 2019 for the Quadrophenia 40th anniversary.

Was unsure what to expect but they were absolutly amazing, far far better than I could have imagined and really gave 'The Who a run for their money!
The brucey bonus at the end of the show was when Phil Daniels & Trevor Laird rocked up to join the onstage ... Wow what a night to remember!"

UK’s Number one The Who tribute band

The Who Tribute (formerly The Goldhawks) are the world's No. 1 tribute to The Who with outstanding musicianship and vocals as near as you'll ever get to the real thing. No other tribute comes close. They have performed The Who’s iconic hits and rock operas across the UK in over 180 theatre shows, gaining a standing ovation every single show making them the most critically-acclaimed and the most entertaining The Who tribute band around.

Lead singer, Doug Freeman founded the first ever Who tribute band, 'Who's Who', back in '95, rapidly achieving meteoric success selling out just about every show around the country. They performed at The Who Conventions and featured on several television channels including BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. Paul Townshend was an early fan turning up at one of their first gigs at The Harrow Hotel where his brother, Pete, first smashed a Rickenbacker guitar. Hailing the band as "Fabulous, incredible !" he went on to win The Who Trivia Quiz that night. Just as well!

As individual musicians, they have been performing, professionally, for most of their lives. As drummer Steely says, "We decided to create our unique The Who tribute due to our shared love for the original band and music. As genuine fans of The Who, we can recapture the style and sound like no other Who tribute band out there."

In a relatively short space of time, they have wowed audiences and theatre-goers across the UK and Europe with amazing productions of The Who’s timeless classics. Having 1000’s of 5-star reviews from the most hardened fans of The Who is testament to just how great this band is.

Check out some of our recent testimonials:

"These guys are close, real close… If you are not a Who fan, or have never been part of the Mod movement, it doesn’t matter as this is a great, down-to-earth rock and roll show for everyone. You are going to know some of the songs, trust me. You got a feeling after this show that this band is great at doing what The Who did." One of the best tribute bands I've ever seen."
