FOREVER ELTON is the UK based Elton John tribute band.
Forever Elton is a premier UK tribute act featuring live piano and authentic costumes taken from our theatre production and includes many of Elton John's iconic hits from ballads like Your Song, Candle In The Wind, Rocket Man and Don't Let The Sun Go Down to upbeat foot tappers such as I'm Still Standing, Saturday Night, I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues and Crocodile Rock.
Formed in 2018, Forever Elton has performed both SOLO and with the band, always performing totally live, (no miming piano!), at theatres and venues throughout the UK and Europe, as well as headlining festivals.

Performance space is flexible and we work to accommodate. For solo shows minimum space is approx 2m x 1.5m. For 4 piece band, minimum space requirements are 3m x 2m.
Yes, we can provide sound and lighting equipment for both solo and band shows
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
Possible.
All of the costumes are made by Forever Elton and based on authentic reinterpretations of Elton John's outfits.
Performed to audience of several thousands at many outdoor festivals and they have all had their own fantastic vibe. Although it can be great fun to just perform at an intimate event as that can be very personal and rewarding.
Elton John and Billy Joel. For Elton I would say Your Song (although there really are way too many to chose from) and for Billy Joel I would say Scenes From An Italian Restaurant.
I started Forever Elton in 2018 at a charity rock concert although all I started performing at theatres as a keyboardist and musician a long time before that, starting when I was 11 years old.
Any event where the audience love Elton John's music!
2x45 minutes is a typical set length. Setup for the solo show is about 60 minutes and the band can be about 90 minutes.
Absolutely! Forever Elton has performed both solo and with the band outside at parties and festivals.
Typically due to the nature of the show the set list has been defined after many years of performing to know what songs to start and end the shows and when to get the audience up dancing. Although I'm always happy to discuss.
Previous customers would say what a wonderful experience they've had,how they love the party atmosphere and how talented we are as musicians.
The piano is ALWAYS played live by Forever Elton. First and foremost this is a musical show performed by musicians so Forever Elton is always playing the piano based on Elton John's performances.
Elton John's music is vast and varied having been writing and performing since the 1970's, he's had hits covering 5 decades which means there are so many great songs to choose from. The show is usually more laid back in the first set with popular ballads such as Your Song, Rocket Man, Sorry A Seems To Be The Hardest Word, Circle Of Life, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me but then there are many more upbeat songs such as Cold Heart, I'm Still Standing, Kiss The Bride, Saturday Night, and of course Crocodile Rock, which can get any party going!
Both options are available.
Where budget and space allows then you can't beat a dedicated live band and The Forever Elton show is available as a either a 4, 5 or 6 piece act.
But recognising that there are times when a band is not viable, a solo performance can suit. Some numbers are live acoustic such as Your Song and Rocket Man, being played just on the on piano and vocals (which goes down a treat) with many other numbers also including a backing track, particularly for the upbeat songs such as I'm Still Standing and Crocodile Rock, either way the piano is always performed live.
