THE influence of Roxy Music is often overlooked, but the innovative band’s impact on the music scene was simply immense.

The band were virtually New Romantics well before the term was invented: moving Glam Rock glitz on from near farce to high fashion, when it came to the image.

At times they were almost early punk in sound; but Roxy also made great use of synths, when the guitar was still king for most groups.

Now a Worcester audience can take a stroll down Memory Lane to a tribute act that moves seamlessly from the Seventies to the Eighties, with songs that are impossible to forget.

A spokesman said: “Roxy Magic is the UK’s best and longest-running tribute to Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry.

“They recreate entirely live material that spans four decades, from futurist/nostalgic art rock, through classic standards to sophisticated adult-oriented rock. Their aim is to give the audience a fabulously entertaining evening. High quality musicianship and a wonderful Bryan Ferry look- and sound-alike in the person of singer Kevin Hackett combine to do just that.”

Roxy Music was an English rock band formed in 1970 by Bryan Ferry, the band’s lead vocalist and chief songwriter, and bassist Graham Simpson.

The date for the diary is May 25, at the Huntingdon Hall.
