The Bohemians are an outstanding Queen tribute band and have even been endorsed by the ‘Official Queen Fan Club’. They were the first band to headline the ‘Queen Fan Club Convention' with an audience of 2500 people.

The Bohemians faithfully re-create the glory days of Queen from the opening few bars of 'We Will Rock You' through to 'We are the Champions' at the very end.
 

Rob Comber - Freddie Mercury
Rob is the latest edition to the band and has been fronting the Bohemians since 2004. He has embraced Freddie's flamboyant stage persona and the bands stage show now features an impressive array of Freddie's costumes. His extensive vocal range enables the band to perform virtually all of Queen's hits in their original keys adding to the authenticity of the sound. As well as his strong vocal ability, Rob is also an accomplished guitarist although this obviously doesn't feature in the Bohemians set with one song being the notable exception. After joining the band, Rob taught himself to play the piano specifically for the purpose of performing all of Freddie's piano parts totally live. The spectacle of him seated at his baby grand has also added an extra visual authenticity to the show. The first song he learned was Bohemian Rhapsody and he was featured explaining this story on the award winning BBC Radio 4 documentary 'Rhapsody In Bohemia'.

Nick Ballard - Brian May
Nick has been with the Bohemians since 1997 and has an uncanny resemblance to the man himself and with his tall slim build and long curly hair is often mistaken for Brian. He has 18 guitars in his collection including two Red Specials. Nick has been a lifelong Queen fan since buying his first single 'Seven Seas of Rhye' when it was released in 1974. With his degree in art he is also a skilled set designer, an ability which has been very useful when making additions to the Bohemians stage show.

Wayne Bourne - Roger Taylor
Since joining the band in 1998, Wayne has provided the backbone of the rhythm section with a drumming style studiously similar to Roger Taylor, he also sings like him to. Wayne is also a talented guitarist and songwriter and is constantly writing and recording his own original compositions.

 

 

Kevin Goodwin - John Deacon
Kevin formed the band in 1996, his drive and determination have ensured that The Bohemians have remained constantly in demand ever since. Kevin didn't start playing the bass guitar until the age of 18, which was relatively late but he soon mastered his instrument and his mazy runs on the bass are heavily reminiscent of John Deacon's playing style. This ability combined with Wayne's drumming makes for a totally authentic Queen rhythm section sound.
