Hi Ivan I have had nothing but good reports from this end. " Last night was absolutely brilliant, food good as usual and the entertainment, the Runaways, were brilliant and very professional and could they play their instruments. WOW." was the response from a member of the social committee here. I am fully booked for next year but when the social committee sit down at the beginning of next year I'm sure they will have you in mind for 2020 or 2021. I will ask around to see if anyone took pics etc. Thank you again for a great evening.

"Ivan, I’d really like to have you all back again soon.
You fit in perfectly with the clientele, I just wish that some of the crowd we had during the day where still there in the evening. Next time we have a day event it will be better to have you perform in the garden about 3pm on.
I’ll be in touch. Many thanks in advance for the cd.
I absolutely loved the good bad and the ugly theme you did.
You are one of the most professional bands I have had the pleasure of seeing.
All the best to the rest of the team.

"Hi Ivan,
It was good to finally meet up at last, and my thanks go out to the lads for such a professional performance last night. Feedback from our lot has been excellent, with lots of compliments regarding the band, so thank you so much for a great performance.
Kind regards

Hi Ivan. Many thanks for your note and I’m pleased to hear that you all enjoyed the D&D. I must say I’ve not received one negative response, which is a relief, and I would like to thank you all for your contribution to making the evening such a success. Unfortunately we won’t be at Geoff’s do, but good luck with it. Regards. Jackie.
Brilliant, I've seen some concerts before in my time, but nothing like The Runaways who are a great bunch of guys, and one of the best tribute acts by a mile even beating the concerts that I've seen to date. so I would highly recommend them for anybody to go and see, if they came to an area near you. Make the effort to go and see them without a doubt!
Hi Ivan,
A million thanks to you and the boys for entertaining us with your tribute to the Shadows music last night, the feedback from the ladies has been fantastic, a trip down memory lane for all of us as it was the music of our youth.
I passed on your details to a few so hopefully some more bookings come your way, it would be great to hear you play at another venue in the future. Hope you have a good summer and thank you again for making our party go with a swing.
Best wishes,
Sue
33 years experienced Shadows tribute and vocal rock n roll classic hits live band. Played at all venues across the UK and parts of Europe.
They have worked with members of The Shadows and are renowned for the authenticity of their production of The Shadows' numbers, The Runaways are far more than a Shadows tribute band. Playing at theatres across the country.
They pay attention to the visual aspects of their performances and are always immaculate in their suits and are memorable for their striking bright red guitars and that Hank twang! From a drum solo to a 'power number like Theme from the Deerhunter.
We can play at theatres, executive events, corporate events, functions and social clubs. From a social club with a function hall of 200 people to a show of 2,000 people. The Runaways can cover it all!
Shadowmania at Lakeside Country Club in Surrey. Played three times to over 1000 people in a Shadows themed show. Embroiderers Guild, Brookside Theatre Romford Essex, Fisher Theatre Bungay Norfolk. Sky TV, Good Morning Britain, BBC Radio Kent.
We can accept cash on the night or if its for a big venue a BACS payment or cheque can be arranged.
4 piece band comprising of live drums and three guitars one with a synth attached.
We are Berkshire and Kent based, but able travel to the required location/s.
Ivan has a great stage presence performing with The Runaways, not only does he provide great entertainment with his music but also humour! Ivan and can comfortably perform in front of large crowds. Highly recommended in booking. Osjed Talent Agency.
We have got a sound engineer we like to use for certain venues we play, (mainly theatres) he is not part of the band but knows our set up! But quite able to use our own PA system. We also have access to our own lighting if required.
We have our album 'Into The Vortex' and single tracks which is on www.bandcamp.com and its able to be purchased at the venues we play at. For the band in action see You tube's website under 'The Runaways at Fisher Theatre' which is the most recent video.
