AFTER MIDNIGHT were formed in 1985 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. They are the UK's leading Eric Clapton Tribute Band.

The band was formed in 1985 long before the term ?tribute band? was invented, and named themselves ''After Midnight'' after Eric Clapton's first solo hit. In guitar/vocalist Mike Hall, the band possesses a front man who not only looks like Eric, he sings and plays guitar like him too!

In 1999, Mike won a national look-alike competition held at Madam Tussauds in London. Mike has met Slowhand twice, and even received a message of encouragement from the guitar maestro (written on a Concorde menu).

TYNE TEES TELEVISION made a programme about them, called 'COVER THEIR TRACKS'. They filmed the band's concert at Newcastle Opera House in front of 600 fans. It was shown in August 2000 and received rave reviews, leading to national recognition.

In 2001 they embarked on an extensive tour of UK Theatres. They called the tribute show "CLASSIC CLAPTON". Since then, they have continued to perform throughout the UK and Europe including concerts at The Royal Festival Hall, London and a triumphant appearance at Glastonbury Festival in 2002. In the past few years they have performed numerous concerts in Europe including Spain, Estonia and Holland.

In July 2009 they appeared at St Andrews Auditorium in Mumbai. A 10,000 mile round-trip for 1 concert, but it was a great experience.

AFTER MIDNIGHT comprises 4 excellent musicians. The band has released three albums.

Eric Clapton's recent tours unfortunately have visited only a limited number of large arenas. If fans want to hear all of his hits performed in more intimate surroundings, they really should attend an After Midnight concert. They will be performing authentic versions of all the popular Clapton Classics including Wonderful Tonight, Tears in Heaven, Crossroads, Lay Down Sally, I Shot The Sheriff, Sunshine of Your Love, Cocaine and of course Layla!

The whole of Clapton's illustrious career will be covered including Cream, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds, Derek & The Dominos and the solo years. There will even be an ?UNPLUGGED? segment.

NEARLY 2 HOURS OF CLASSIC CLAPTON
