QUOTES

“I thought they sounded fantastic – the next best thing to hearing Elton himself.” TIM BRINKMAN, Hall for Cornwall

“What a fantastic show –those marvellous songs that we all grew up with – Elton’s glitz and glamour, his style, I kept expecting a diva-like tantrum any minute!” Jasper Carrott, OBE

“I was lucky enough to see Rocket Man’s first public performance and I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but they were terrific. The sound was absolutely spot on, technically excellent, I thought, and Neil’s reproduction of Elton and those fabulous songs was superb. His piano playing was supreme and, occasionally, rather acrobatic! I was particularly hoping they’d perform my favourite Elton number, Nikita, and they did. I wasn’t disappointed! Overall a night of first class entertainment.” Nick Owen, BBC Midlands Today

“ROCKET MAN”
‘I was very impressed with the “Rocket Man” show I saw last week. Neil Lockwood does an incredible take-off of Elton John — not only does he look like him, he sounds spookily like him too, and the half a dozen costume changes are spot on. His band are to be applauded too for their attention to detail on all of the songs and the sound and lighting were first class, too. I hope that Sir Elton John himself makes time to check out “Rocket Man” — I think he will be well impressed.’ Bev Bevan, BBC WM – The Move, ex Electric Light Orchestra, ex Black Sabbath

Rocket Man – A tribute to Elton John
“I saw the Rocket Man show the other night in London and was shocked to see several grown-up people dressed in ridiculously camp costumes prancing about on stage and cavorting over pianos etc……No, I wasn’t really shocked….it’s what Björn Again gets up to all the time. Rocket Man is a highly entertaining show which takes you back on a nostalgic journey to rediscover the numerous hits of Elton John.” Rod Stephen – Björn Again Creator & Director.

“As a fellow rock “n” roll forger I take my wig off to you and seeing your brilliant Elton show has reminded me that I can rest on my laurels no longer. Okay, I’ve got the lips but you’ve definitely got the tips (of your fingers that is) – superb piano playing – it was like watching Jo 90 on a crate of Red Bull. Every element of an Elton John performance faithfully replicated in a show packed with specs, rugs and croc ‘n’ roll. A real credit to the faking art business.”
NICK DAGGER, The Counterfeit Stones. (Steve Elson, Creator)

“What a great show and performance, stunning. It was like watching the real Elton, the band were great, the sound was superb and I came away feeling like I had great value, it can’t fail to be a great success…………………………” Pete Langford, Barron Knights

Leicester Square Theatre, Sept 09
“Not only a tribute to one of the UK’s top international superstars, but a great evening’s entertainment in its own right. ….. It was, without doubt, an outstanding show.” Johnny Mans, Encore Magazine

Cliffs Pavilion, Southend April 2010

“Rocket Man guarantees to get you up on your feet and singing to all your favourite Elton songs…..Rocket Man – the soundtrack of our lives – has fast become known as one of the best Elton John tribute bands of recent years.”  The Enquirer
