ONE NIGHT OF QUEEN ROCKS YORK!

On the 25 June the UK’s hottest and most successful rock show ‘One Night of Queen’ which celebrates the music of Freddie Mercury and Queen is coming to the Grand Opera House York.

In 1985, following their appearance on Live Aid, Queen were internationally acclaimed as the best live band on Earth with Freddie Mercury as the greatest live performer of his generation. Few performers could ever hope to match his unique talent. Since winning ITV’s ‘Stars in their Eyes’ Gary Mullen has been recognised world-wide as the closest thing to Freddie. His voice, persona and portrayal sends a shiver down your spine and leaves your hairs standing on end. He and his band ‘The Works’ recreate the excitement and atmosphere of a live Queen concert to unmatched perfection. Ten years of touring has seen One Night of Queen build a reputation for regularly selling out large theatres and concert halls, across the UK, Europe and the rest of the World! In 2009 alone the show performed in England, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland and USA. In the USA they sold out in more than 75 cities. Demand was such that they returned in 2010 to conquer even more states and cities over a 10 week, 50 date tour period and another tour is already in the pipeline for 2011!! One of their career highlights included playing to 40,000 fans at the iconic Hyde Park, London for the prestigious BBC ‘Proms In the Park’. The producer described them as “the highlight of the day”. Receiving rapturous applause from 40,000 fans cemented One Night of Queen’s reputation as being “much more than a tribute”. They made such and impression in 2005 that they were invited back in 2009. They shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry Andrea Bocelli, Simply Red, Katherine Jenkins, Barry Manilow and everyone’s favourite Sir Terry Wogan who described them as “Fantastic!” “Mullen brought legendary Queen front man Freddie Mercury back to life in a two-hour energy-filled concert that had toddlers to grandparents dancing in the aisles.” The Salt Lake Tribune “We’ve seen a lot of Tribute bands in our lives, but nothing that in any way, shape or form, comes close to One Night Of Queen!” Out On The Town magazine, Pennsylvania The show features fantastic hits such as ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘We Are The Champions’, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘Radio GaGa’, ‘It’s A Kind Of Magic’ and many more.
