Seen the guys twice. Absolutly brilliant. Excellent vocals and harmonies.
What i love the most is they dont try to be queen like other tributes they celebrate their music. Was excellent.

Having seen this band three or four times over the past 20 odd years, I was somewhat apprehensive as to whether they could stand the test of time. The line up looked mostly familiar, with Roger Brown the original lead vocalist, Trevor Lock and Dave Fusaro capably sharing the lead and rythmn guitar duties, and the 'newcomers' being Dave Chapman (keyboards), and his brother Colin (bass), and Trevor's brother Rob Lock on drums, completing the line up.
Despite the disappointing turn out in a tiny theatre near Blackburn, all credit must go to these guys for putting 100% enthusiasm into two very demanding sets of almost one hours duration each side of a 20 minute break, and they did not disappoint the audience which I suspect had a small band of devotees and others possibly curious as to whether they could be a credible tribute to the mighty Queen.
One or two numbers seem to be stretching vocal cords to their limits, which I suppose is what happens to all performers as the years take their toll, and at the risk of losing the impact of some of those higher notes, a drop of half a tone in key may make the vocals a little less worrying in certain songs. However, what cannot be criticised is the musicianship of all the instrumentalists, notably keyboard maestro Dave, and the evergreen Trevor.
The line up work hard, give excellent value for money, and certain numbers are exceptionally true to the originals, and their attention to detail on vocals and instrumentals has to be applauded.
Of the many Queen tributes I have seen, I would put these guys in the top three, hopefully, they can maintain this high standard as time moves on.

This band should be doing basic covers and i think they would be ok at that. As a Queen tribute, forget it. The singer's voice is not up to the job in hand and the backing vocals are also very bad. One night of Queen is twice as good.

What a fantastic night! The atmosphere in a packed theatre was buzzing right from the start from the first drum beats of We Will Rock You, and it just got better. I hadn't seen Magic for a while but if anything I think their sound has matured, and the complex harmonies of Barcelona were a real treat to hear live. A really broad set list covering all the favourites and one or two unexpected ones meant there was something for everyone. By the end of the gig, which included Mr Bluesky as part of the encore to promote Magic's ELO tribute, Radio Gaga and We are the Champions, the place was rocking. All true fans will be delighted to hear Magic has been booked back by The Orchard for a return gig next season. Can't wait.

this band are very poor. a sextet but 4 of them are much too old for anyone to take them seriously as a queen tribute. the backing vocals are extremely poor and the singer is everything freddie mercury never was. i am going to agree with the other reviewers who said that it was an awful show because it simply was. other queen tributes are proof that you can do a much much better show with a younger, stronger-voiced and generally better lead singer and good backing vocals. the singer cannot do the high notes and some songs bordered on laughable.

MAGIC - A KIND OF QUEEN is an AMAZING show that reproduces QUEEN music with SUCH PERFECTION, that if you closed your eyes & just listened, you could be forgiven for believing you REALLY WERE listening to QUEEN AND they do it ALL WITHOUT any recordings & THERE ARE NO LOOKALIKES in this band. They concentrate on producing exact versions of Queens monumentally difficult & memorably different anthems. That task is SURPASSED & we would MOST DEFINITELY go again to see them.

WOW WHAT A SHOW!
It was my 1st Majic experience and boy did they deliver.
I treated my Mom (who is a massive massive Queen Fan) and my Aunty for their birthdays and the band did not disappoint!
They were FANTASTIC!!
They are not a lookalike band but the muscians were awesum and the singing phenominal.
Brilliant interaction with the crowd from the lead singer, got everyone singing and dancing in the isles.
Carnt wait to see them again. 5*****

The group started the night of with songs of ELO to a small but enthusiastic audiance.The second half was songs of Queen. Both performances were very well rehearsed & performed. This show is well recommended if you are ,as i am, a lover of live music performed to a high standard. Overall a Magic kind of night !!!

What a night of entertainment! A group of 6 highly talented musicians who produced the very best rendition of the music of Queen (& Freddie Mercury) that I have ever heard. No attempt to be a lookalike band, just good solid music that captured the essence of one of the best UK bands of the last 30 years. The lead singer had the energy and the voice to carry off the performance and the lead guitarist could give Brian May a run for his money on technical ability. A great mixture of the well known 'pop' songs and the earlier, less well known, 'rock' songs from the early albums.
A great 2+ hours of entertainment and sing along which was enjoyed by all present. Just a shame the Alex was less than half full for the show. Wednesday night may not be your favourite for a trip to a show, but if these come around again on a Wednesday, or any other night then get up and go.

We had a wonderful night at the theatre. Magic are a group who do all Queen numbers. We had see them years ago and enjoyed their show. We found out that when we were in Edinburgh we could see them again. The only down side was that there were very few people in the audience to see the excellent performance of a live band.

Magic have not lost their touch, been a while since they came north. Well worth the 400mile round trip to see them again. Wish they would come further north again eg Aberdeen as we wouldn't have to travel so far - still would do it again though.

Our first impression was a bit of dissappointment, but we ended up being very surpised and very glad we saw them. As they said they are not a Queen look like group, which is what I think first put us off, but we just closed our eyes and listened and they we very good. I think if the theatre had been full the atmosphere would have been great, it really got going in the second half, they sang and played their hearts out, and we ended up having a really good night and would definately see them again

I bought 2 tickets costing over £40 for this show as a Christmas present for my boyfriend. We were going to book a hotel in Southport and make a full day of it but I am glad I didn't... Before booking this show I read the reviews and they all sounded fabulous. This was a mistake. The auditorium was one fifth full.
This band do not look like Queen do not dress like them and they certainly don't sound like them.. I was really disappointed but seen the funny side.. We ended up plucking the courage to leave after 4 songs we couldn't bear it.. The sound system was not good either. If I was watching this band at a Haven holiday site that was free then they would be bearable. If it was on at my local venue for £3 a head entry for a cheap and cheerful night it may be bearable but sorely disappointed with my £50 near purchase

We really enjoyed our selves watching Magic - a kind of Queen they were very good. I thought the key board player was excellant, it was wonderful to hear some decent music well played and to hear the wonderful songs of Queen, Keep the great work up boys YOU really are a tribute to Queen. The only thing we were not impressed with was the prices in the theatre for snacks and ice cream, and of course the bar prices. We would come and watch you all again. Thank You Magic for keeping the music alive.
