MIKE ANDREW
A TRIBUTE TO ROBBIE WILLIAMS The highly acclaimed Mike Andrew has quickly become one of, if not ‘the’ No 1 Robbie Williams impersonator in the world gaining recognition from Robbie Williams himself and Robbie’s father Pete Conway. Mike's extremely unbelievable resemblance to Robbie including his mannerisms, his look, even his cheekiness on stage, not to mention his vocal similarity (it’s actually quite spooky!) are second to none, even down to the tattoos. Mike has performed for many top clients, and has also performed for the likes of Coldplay, Mel C and Edith Bowman, but singing with Robbie Williams himself at his Swings Both Ways concert at Leeds First Direct Arena in June 2014 is the highlight of Mike’s career. Mike also had the pleasure of performing at Robbie’s 40th birthday party at RWFanfest in Burslem where he sang with Robbie’s dad, Pete Conway, and performed his tribute show to hundreds of Robbie fans from around the world. |

THE STORMFLIES
Rock Bottom favourites and Marlow boys, The Stormflies will be performing for us again at Rock Bottom 2018 - this time back on the main stage after their fantastic acoustic set last year. The Stormflies quickly created a buzz through London and The Home Counties with their authentically fresh blend of 'oh so irresistible' covers that wing way beyond 'run of the mill'. From Bon Jovi to Bruno Mars, Springsteen to Snow Patrol and One Republic to Coldplay, these boys bring on a show that you simply can't resist! See their 2015 performance here in this clip. |

STRAIGHT EIGHT
Hugely popular at Rock Bottom in 2017, they're back for 2018. As an exciting Soul and R & B band from High Wycombe, Straight Eight promise a highly enjoyable show appealing to all. With a distinctive full-blooded horn section, initially the band played classics from the golden era of Soul, including tracks made popular in the 'Blues Brothers' and 'Commitments' movies. More recently, they have extended the repertoire by applying their special treatment to funkier numbers from the seventies to the noughties, along with some gems that you'd forgotten! |

ROBERT J HUNTER
Dirty rhythm and blues from the depths of Alderney, based in London. Island born Robert J. Hunter combines his gruff and powerful voice with the wild thud of overdriven blues guitar. His powerful debut album, ’Songs for the Weary’, received blues chart success and critical acclaim and the single release, ‘Demons’, reached number one in the UK iTunes Blues Chart. ‘Before the Dawn’ followed late 2015 showing that Robert had matured and developed as a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist. In 2017 Robert was a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) with his powerful ballad, ‘Preacher’ which was chosen from 16,000 entries. Following his set at The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival 2017, The Robert J Hunter Band were chosen as the fifth and final act to compete in the UK Blues Challenge at Liverpool‘s legendary, Cavern Club. Robert has played top venues around the country including Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club and the Spiritual Bar in London. He is a regular performer at the London blues jams and clubs as well as performing in Europe and all around the UK circuit. |
