Hi, we are the TFi Friday Tribute Band, a 90s female fronted tribute act who replicate all of the great songs from the bands/artists who appeared on Chris Evans legendary 90's Channel 4 show.. TFi Friday!
The band was put together early 2022 and began performing to rave reviews, and 2023 has seen the band going down a storm at numerous events, including clubs, pubs, some smaller festivals and private parties!!
Having put the set together, we now only aim to practice (in Southampton) once a month, and more if a gig is on the horizon or if new songs are required. We also aim for one to two gigs a month and we have already booked about 10 gigs for 2024.
The band consists of Aimee (vocals), Johnny G (bass), JB (guitars) and Micky Stixx (drums), a highly experienced bunch having played hundreds of gigs between us. The average age is mid 40s.
Previous acts/experience include tribute bands, duo's and original bands.. some of us have even played live and have recorded for some well known artists at the legendary Maida Vale Studios for Radio 2 John Peel Sessions!
We usually provide 2 X 60 minute sets and perform in 90s clothing to replicate the TFi Friday scene! We use good equipment and come with full p.a/lighting system and backdrop that can be seen from space!..
Sample setlist includes..
Riverboat Song (0cean colour scene)
Ready to Go (republica)
Don't Speak (No doubt)
Halo (Texas)
Design for Life (Manics)

So, we are currently a 4 piece band but feel a keyboard player would enhance the band with opportunities to play a more varied set and provide a more polished sound...this is important as we try to muscle in on the festival circuit for good tribute acts...
Admittedly, much of our set is guitar based, but at least half the set (the original songs) have keyboards and which can also be positively added to the more guitar based songs...but more importantly it is how the band can be opened up to other tunes with the addition of keyboards ..
Any applicant should be experienced, have good equipment, be committed to the cause!..and more than anything don't take themselves too seriously.
Bonus points if you play rhthym guitar and would be willing to utilise those skills for some of the set, and even better can do some backing vocals!..but primarily a decent keyboardist is what we are looking for!
We have a few gigs in December and we are looking to add a new member from January 2024 where we have a few months free to get you bedded into the band!
We are really good mates and whilst we want the band to be as best it can be, we wouldn't do this if we don't have a laugh!....so sense of humour would b good!
As we mentioned above, we are still a fairly new tribute band, but we know we are on the right track..and with some more exposure, contacts and the addition of a good keyboardist, then we are certain the TFI Friday Tribute Band will be playing some great gigs in the coming years!
We look forward to hearing from you!
John (bass player)
