Welcome to the Official Website
for Flash Harry!
The Sunday World: "Don't turn away with the idea that Flash Harry is a mere novelty Band. These guys can play ..... the music, the movement, the attention to detail ..... will ensure that people continue to marvel at the Show."
Here's a video about who we are and what we do. The interview footage is from 2000, ahead of a Show at The Grand Opera House, Belfast, Northern Ireland. The background footage is from our Rocked Up & Classical Show at Belfast's Odyssey Arena in 2010.
In a nutshell, what you should know:-
* We're a Band of 5 musicians based in Northern Ireland.
* We started in our present guise in 1992 following Freddie Mercury's untimely death the previous year.
* We don't go out to impersonate Queen, but to put our slant on it's legend Rock music.
* We started with a 26-song set, but now encompass the majority of Queen's released material: a catalogue of extravaganzas - well-loved rock anthems, lesser known material, and everything in between.
* We've toured extensively all over Ireland, the UK and abroad, also visiting the US and Asia, and sold out top-notch venues to capacity.
* Not only do we love illustrating the magic of Queen, but we have also toured with our own Irish Rock Legends show, showcasing the diversity of Irish born musicians which have made history: Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher, Thin Lizzy etc.
* Our biggest production has been our own style "The Magic of Queen - Rocked Up and Classical" show, incorporating a large orchestra and choir; we've performed this show a number of times and are regularly requested to run it again and again.
* We've headlined the International Queen Fan Club Annual Convention on several occasions, and played in Montreux, Switzerland for global events orgnised by the Mercury Phoenix Trust.
* We're no strangers to appearances on TV or Radio either!
We think the reason for our popularity is simple: the music of Queen is universal in its appeal and entertainment value; we're honoured to play a staple diet of anthems which always get the crowd on their feet dancing, stamping, clapping and singing along.
But there's much more to us than that - learn more about us, and the people who make up the Flash Harry family on this website.
