Tribute acts generally recreate the songs, sound composition, and performance of a particular artist. By doing this, they show respect and honour to the main artists or bands. More broadly speaking, a tribute act or band is a music group, group of singers, or musician who specifically plays the music of a well-known music act. Don’t confuse a tribute band with a cover band. Cover bands differ from attribute bands in that a cover band usually plays a wide range of popular songs from a broad range of artists, whereas a tribute band only plays songs of a particular artist or band.
The history of tribute bands is not that old. No one can say the exact date, but the beginning of the tribute band is believed to be in the 1960s. It started with The Buggs (the Beatles tribute band). Since then, thousands of known and unknown tribute bands have sprung up all over the world.
Anyway, this is the history in a few lines. We won't dwell too much on the history of tribute bands; our topic today is the Top 7 Tribute Acts in the UK. So let's take a look at some of the tribute bands from across the United Kingdom that take the top seven places.
