THE FREDDIE & QUEEN EXPERIENCE

PBJ LIVE PROUDLY PRESENTS

Sunday 24th May

ADAM BUXTON RAMBLES…

THE FREDDIE & QUEEN EXPERIENCE are the UK’s Premier Queen & Freddie Mercury Tribute Band who are internationally & critically acclaimed. The band performs all over the world with sell out shows in the UK & abroad.

They deliver a passionate & energy packed show just full of QUEEN’s greatest hits! Ian as Freddie Mercury replicates Freddie Mercury’s live shows with the looks, mannerisms, vocals, charisma, high energy & showmanship that Freddie was so famous for. THE FREDDIE & QUEEN EXPERIENCE is made up of some of the finest musicians in UK, including arguable the most established & best professional Brian May Tribute Andy Wills. It’s simply a great show not to missed!

To coincide with its publication, we invite you to join comedian and podcast host Adam Buxton as he talks about and reads from his upcoming new book.

It incorporates rambles on topics including parenthood, formative cultural influences of the 80s, confrontations on trains, wet dreams, boarding school trauma, The Adam & Joe Show, dead Dads and David Bowie. The evening will include both funny and serious moments and some questions will be answered, maybe even some VERY big ones. To be honest that’s unlikely, but it should be fun. Anyway. Copies of the book will be available and there will be a signing session after the Show. @AdamBuxton
