Iain Sparks... A truly internatinal Artist!
The Best Roy Orbison Tribute
He has toured Australia Canada Europe and the Middle East and with starring Regional and West End Theatre credits, Iain is world renowned as probably the best Roy Orbison tribute today. Iain played the legend in 'The Concert they Never Gave' on several UK theatre tours for E&B productions (producers of 'Buddy' in the West End) and in 2005 Iain headlined on a massive outdoor show in Perth, Australia, backed by a 20 piece orchestra & supported by Pepsi's Voice of Elvis, Johnny Earle. Iain performed 10 times at the Albert Hall and on TV for Barry Manilow & at the '95 Brit Awards for Sting as a backing vocalist. He has had 2 top 20 hits in the EMS Euro chart with his own material, beating off competition from top US stars including American star Travis Tritt.
Van Morrison
Incredibly, Iain is also Europe's premiere Van Morrison Tribute; so much so he is endorsed by the Van Morrison Fan Club! Iain uncannily reproduces the blues/soul/jazz performance of Van both visually & vocally and he's performed extensively in this role all over the world. Iain started out singing in a Gospel Outfit doing vocals for Sting and Barry Manilow & this makes him the genuine article when it comes to the Soul/ RnB style of Van. This naturally creates a segue with the RnB classics covered by the Committments; to which Iain also do justice - please listen to the soundclips provided.
Meatloaf
And if that wasn't enough, he is one of the UK's best Meatloaf Tributes as well! Iain has performed as Meat in regional theatres across the UK and abroad including Canada, Europe and Middle East. Iain's very lively and animated performance is a thriller on its own, not to mention Iain's superbly powerful vocal rendition.
The format of Iain's shows obviously requires outstanding vocal ability and Iain has this in buckets. However, what makes him really unique is his uncanny visual portrayal of each different character. The show can be tailored to suit your needs; Iain can perform one tribute act or all of them in one stunning show. Please ask your agent for more details.
