"Alive Network made booking Jean Genie a seamless task (I had a lot of preparation to do for my husband’s 40th party and so having an agency do all the hard work for me was a massive help!).
Jean Genie were amazing – a perfect fit for the occasion. So rarely is my husband truly speechless, he had no idea what I had booked and was lost for words! All of our guests have commented on how professional the act were. I was so sad when the evening was over!"

Jean Genie were formed following the discovery of David Bowie look-and-sound-alike artiste John Mainwaring. The band soon became famous for their flamboyant stage show and today the band have many impressive claims to fame. Jean Genie are one of the first tribute bands to play alongside the original artistes and they performed on stage with the original Spiders From Mars at the Mick Ronson Memorial Concert after show party playing to VIP stars such as Joe Elliott (Def Leppard) Roger Daltry (The Who) and Roger Taylor (Queen) to name but a few.
John went on to tour in Europe and the UK with David Bowie's most famous band of the 70's The Spiders from Mars; it was such an honour for John who believes to this day it must have all been a dream! John has gone down in the history books as the only Bowie tribute artist to have actually fronted Bowie's original backing band on a 6 month tour.
Jean Genie have headlined the David Bowie Fan Club Conventions in this country and abroad. They’ve played their energetic 70’s and 80’s show complete with costumes changes to capacity crowds at festivals corporate events theatres and music venues around the world.
