Echo Factory - A Music School with a Difference. 2017 Open Day Dates Watch

Living in Queen’s shoes! Echo Factory chats to the World's leading band 'Queen Extravaganza'

When Roger Taylor (original Queen band member) noticed a need for a high quality tribute act that brought fans back to Queen’s extraordinary moments on stage, he formed Queen Extravaganza, the world’s leading Queen tribute band.

Echo Factory students were taken behind the scenes at De Montfort Hall in Leicester to get a taste for what life is really like on the road, the efforts that go into a full production tour, and find out about the survival tips needed to succeed in today’s music industry.

Sitting in an empty 2,000 seat auditorium, which would be full a few hours later, you wouldn’t have guessed that half of the band members had been struck down by the lurgies! The synchronisation of the band playing together was insane. A HUGE hat off to the sound guys, providing a fully immersive experience through the festival-sized sound system they take with them on tour. This recreated the famous signature sound of layered harmonies and high range male vocals.

The band gave some vital tips on the importance of being full rounded versatile musicians, to ensure they make a living out of what they do best!

“We came off stage and we had just finished The Prophet Song and Roger turned round to me and he said ‘I just don’t know how you guys do that’ and I feel the same as he does, really. But the fact that he doesn’t know how we do it, says to me we are doing OK! Its pretty cool he said that, actually!”
