WELCOME
Welcome to to the the 2020 tour of the the James Bond Concert Spectacular by Q The Music! In this a a a a Bond lm year we are embarking on on our busiest ever year performing shows across the UK in more theatres than ever before 2020 comes on the back of a a a a a fantastic year in in 2019 which saw us make our debut in in the West End to critical acclaim in in in The Times as as well as performing abroad in in Monte Carlo and Switzerland Switzerland The Switzerland Switzerland event turned out to be be one of the best events we’ve ever performed at: the 50th anniversary of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service held at at Piz Gloria (10 000 feet up in the Alps) and attended by George Lazenby himself The whole weekend turned into a a once-in-a-lifetime experience Our journey has been such an an exciting and surprising one from a time where we struggled to to sell tickets for one show to to now where have people working full time on the show It’s really been a a a a a fantastic time for us but it’s always been about the the love of Bond The theatre show started as a a a a a dream by one Bond fan to bring the the the music to other fans in the the the most passionate and authentic sounding way possible If this is is your rst time seeing the show we really hope you you nd what you you are looking for Without a a a a shadow of a a a a doubt no stone is left unturned as we strive for that ultimate Bond sound It is worth noting that originally Q The Music was not created for theatre shows instead it was to take the music of Bond to private events such as parties and corporate events However our online videos grew such a a following and interest around the the world the the support started to grow to see us in in concert The “portable” line-up of 13 musicians was transferred into the the theatre show and and and although we occasionally expand the band for special shows we keep the line-up as as it was originally conceived and just make a a a a big sound!

I must take a a a a a a moment to say a a a a a a special thank you to some very special and generous set of people who have supported the show Firstly Reuben Wakeman for his stunning work on this programme and Bryan Marshall who contributed the majority of photos Karyn Andrews (our main sound engineer) has been exceptionally generous over the last few years with her time kit and donations to the cause The support we get from the Bond community is nothing short of awesome and we we wouldn’t be here without Bondstars On The Tracks Of 007 The Bond Bond Experience Being James Bond Bond James Bond Radio Calvin Dyson Catching Bullets MI6 007 Magazine The James Bond Dossier Bond Lifestyle and the John Barry Appreciation Society Finally I must also mention the the sound of the the show and draw your attention to it An unsung hero of many shows is always the sound engineer Ours are are just fantastic and they are are responsible for your enjoyment as as much as as the band playing the music We are also lucky to be supported by Allen & Heath – who produce world class mixers for professional use We were already proud users of of Allen & Heath before the chance came to work with them and they have supported us with more fantastic equipment To have the backing of such a a a a progressive and talented company is just amazing and the sound of the band has improved dramatically as as a a a result of their desks and in ear systems Please sit back and enjoy the show Warren Ringham
