Originally formed as The Grimleys in 2002, this 5-piece band went on to perform in front of audiences the length and breadth of the UK in all of the major holiday camps and hotel chains. Following the departure of one of the band members in 2008, it was felt that a change of name was also required, and The Party Popperz were born.
The Party Popperz‘s show is based on the high colour, high impact sounds of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s from artists as diverse as David Bowie, Queen, Madness, Sweet, Prince, Showaddywaddy and all the way through to Tom Jones and The Bee Gees. Each artist impersonated is performed in fully authentic costume by the brilliant and charismatic Chris Fielding. Chris’s highlights include appearing on “Stars In Their Eyes” as Gary Numan as well as appearing on the final PULP video single Bad Cover Version.
The band are seasoned musicians, having served their apprenticeships alongside the likes of Barclay James Harvest, Wizzard, Screaming Lord Sutch and Billy J Kramer. There are no backing tracks of any kind, and the aim of the band is to keep the dance floor buzzing throughout the evening.
The Party Popperz have a full P.A, lighting and insurance and are available for weddings, parties and corporate functions.
