Flash: A Tribute To Queen

» Profile

The roots of Flash lie in a rock covers band called Kid Gluvz.

Originally formed in the early 90s, the group set out to perform songs that, whilst popular, were a little out of the ordinary.

Rehearsals took place, publicity was produced and midway through the year, Kid Gluvz was officially launched.

The finale of the set was a thirty minute Queen medley and this proved to be so popular that audiences would demand that the songs be played in their entirety. Scotts natural resemblance to Freddie, coupled with his amazing voice lifted this segment of the show onto another level and clearly audiences were hooked. More Queen songs were added to the set giving rise to increasingly enthusiastic responses everywhere they played and it soon became obvious that the group had something special to offer.

The band were all big Queen fans but Scott in particular had always had an ambition to perform a complete Queen show.

His immense knowledge of Queen, coupled with the passion of a genuine fan meant that this new band had a solid foundation from which they could develop.

Their ethos was to recreate the Queen live experience by making shows as authentic as possible using accurate costumes, instruments and by performing live concert versions of the songs.

They chose to name the band Killer Queen and hit the public for the first time on 1st of February 1995.

Now known as Flash, the band has gone from strength to strength and is now regarded by many as the UKs Number One Queen Tribute Band.

They have progressed to performing and topping the bill at many prestigious venues including major theatres, concert halls and festivals throughout the UK, Europe and Asia. Highlights for the band include headlining the year 2000 International Queen Convention, playing to 10,000 people on the Beach at St.

Tropez for the famous H.O.G. Rally, topping the bill at 2 sell out shows at the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta, Malta and a quite stunning trip to Singapore. In Singapore they played the Hard Rock Caf which was basically a warm-up show put together for the press and then a second night saw them headlining at the incredible Suntec City Convention Centre. It was a wonderful experience and the group fell in love with both the country and its people.

The future is looking very bright for Flash and with constant enquiries for appearances both at home and abroad the band look forward to another busy year on the road.

» Testimonials

Flash have played many a Harley Davidson festival, from the first time we played at Portugal there was no turning back,they turned a rather quiet crowd into dancing singing happy customers. Since their debut in May 2005, they have gone on to play for us in St. Tropez, Fuengirola and Europes biggest motorcycle event, European Bike Week in Faaker See, Austria. There is no doubt in my mind that Flash will always bring the house down at any event they play and that explains that not a Summer season goes by without Flash on our programme.

I got the fright of my life when I saw Freddie, backstage, he looked just like the real thing. He went on stage and he gave a blistering performance winding the crowd up song by song. Nice one Flash

Scott Maley is touted to be the Worlds best Freddie Mercury impersonator and he definitely lived up to that reputation Sunday night
