Friday night (28th February), the people of Wroughton were wowed by Phil Collins Tribute, ‘Deano as Phil Collins’
Close your eyes and you truly would think you were listening to the real Phil Collins! From start to finish, the crowd were hands in the air, clapping, singing along and towards the end they were even up dancing up in front of the stage.
Visually and vocally, Deano performs the best Phil Collins experience you will witness! Dean gets the crowd involved and recreates a truly genuine Phil Collins experience.
Deano has with both his solo show ‘Deano as Phil Collins’ and with his show with a full band ‘Truly Collins’ giving people the full Phil Collins & Genesis experience and is set to go on tour with the full band this month starting at the Royal Hippodrome in Eastbourne on Friday 21st March with their hit show celebrating the unforgettable music of Phil Collins and Genesis, performing classics like ‘I Can’t Dance’, ‘Invisible Touch’, ‘Easy Lover’ and of course ‘In The Air Tonight’ and ‘Sussudio’.
Deano has taken his Phil Collins tribute shows to a whole new level gaining a huge global following, not only from his live shows but via social media and has been blown away by the recognition from top industry musicians, performers that include some of Phil’s long standing band members from both his Genesis years and current.
The worldwide success Deano has achieved as a tribute to his idol is nothing short of staggering and continues presenting him with amazing opportunities which recently included an invitation to appear on an NBC network prime time television show in the USA!!
Deano…started out in the music industry at the tender age of 12 performing in his Dad’s family country showband as a musician playing instruments that include; bass, acoustic, electric and pedal steel guitar. After many successful years touring he decided to try something new and spent the next few years performing as a musician/singer on cruise ships and leisure parks both in the UK and abroad becoming one of the UK’s youngest band leaders.
Deano always admired Phil Collins from his early years as a drummer with Genesis but it was when Phil’s solo career became successful when Deano started to put a few of Phil’s biggest hits in his setlist including; “Another Day In Paradise & “Against All Odds”. Soon after he started to receive regular feedback from his audience saying how vocally similar to Phil Collins he sounds.
Deano is now recognised as a world renowned Phil Collins tribute act & sound-a-like impersonator.
Swindon and the surrounding area has a great live music scene, not only in the town with MECA, The Wyvern, Levels, Rolleston Arms and in Old Town with The Vic to name a few… Go a little wider out, you have Christ Church, The King & Queen in Highworth, and places you wouldn’t even think about putting on the very best live music events like The Ellendune Community Centre in Wroughton where the Phil Collins tribute evening took place.
