Guns 4 Hire
ONE of the leading tribute acts in the country head north this weekend to play two shows for rock fans in the isles.
Guns 4 Hire who pride themselves on being the UK’s number one tribute to US rock heavyweights Guns N Roses play at Norscot Angling Club tonight (Friday) followed by a gig at the Burra Hall tomorrow evening.
The London-based band have seen their popularity on the UK tribute scene rise at a meteoric pace since their formation two years ago and now find themselves regularly playing in venues to over 1,000 people with their show that authentically replicates the look and the sound of classic-era Guns N Roses.
As well as being a much sought after tribute band in the UK, the five piece regularly tour the Middle East, Germany, Holland, Cyprus and Ireland.
The show is based on the original line-up of Guns N Roses, with hits such as Sweet Child O Mine, Paradise City, Welcome To Jungle and November Rain.
The band also benefit from being the only tribute to have a sponsorship agreement with world-famous Marshall amplification.
Support for both Shetland dates comes from reformed local rockers, Rip Torn, who now feature ex-Suppository Business member John William Halcrow on drums.
Tickets for both shows are on sale from High Level Music priced at £10.
