lash arry - BIOG

They've have been together so long now with the same line up it's more like Flash Harry the family than Flash Harry the band! They have been celebrating the music of Queen all over Ireland and the UK for over 13 years, where they have played sell-out gigs to Queen fans young and old, recreating the legend and undeniably keeping the flame alive.

The guys have impressed all who have seen them with the sheer brilliance of their show which incorporates all the elements which were Queen's trademark: extravagance, excellence in musicianship, professionalism, humour and of course the icing on the cake, Harry Hamilton whose portrayal of Freddie is nothing short of breathtaking!

Their track record speaks volumes for the quality of their show. They have sold out major venues time after time, including Belfast's Grand Opera House on no less than 13 separate occasions and Belfast's Waterfront Hall 4 times to date. Thanks to Joy and Chris Kamar of K Music Management they took on Ireland's largest concert venue - The Point Depot in Dublin, where they performed to almost 6000 ecstatic fans. In February 2000 they travelled to Dubai, where they went down a storm with the Arab and ex-pat community! In 2001 working with David Hull Promotions they completed an extensive and very successful tour of Ireland and the UK. They have also taken their show to the USA again thanks to K Music Management performing 4 shows in Atlantic City's largest concert Venue the Tropicana Hotel Showroom. The shows were a huge success receiving rave reviews and more importantly a return invite to Las Vegas in January 2005.

As the Sunday World puts it - "Don't turn away with the idea that Flash is a mere novelty band. These guys can play... the music, the movement, the attention to detail and Harry Hamilton's uncanny likeness to Freddie Mercury will ensure that people continue to marvel at their shows for years to come."

One of their greatest accolades received was when they were invited to perform at the Official International Queen Fan Club’s annual convention in Prestatyn, Wales in April 1997. They performed in front of 2500 of Queen's most ardent supporters, and went down a storm! Perhaps the greatest compliment comes from the magazine which could be most critical, The Official Queen Fan Club Fanzine. It is the magazine which put the seal of approval on the band following their performance at the ’97 convention - Jacky Smith, who runs the Queen fan club wrote: "A special thank you to Flash Harry who performed on Friday night and were Brilliant!" They were invited back this year to perform at the 20th Official International Queen Fan Club’s annual convention and had their best weekend yet!!

When asked if they thought they were being a bit too ambitious by taking on such large and potentially financially disastrous venues, Harry and the boys replied "Queen's music and stage show was the biggest and best in the business and is best seen in these type of venues. Their music is just as popular now as it has always been - the bigger the better !"

Almost as if to prove a point they booked one of the most prestigious live music venues in the World, the Royal Albert Hall in London for a Show on 15th October 2004 and put on the performance of a lifetime! The show was a major success.
