The Wholigans play their 3rd UK WHO Convention Oct 3rd 2010.
http://www.thewhoconvention.com/

 
 

The Wholigans capture not only the sound and essence of The Who
but could easily pass for the original members of The Who. 
The band concentrates on the Live at Leeds era , but their set list
contains a majority of the most popular material from The Who’s
catalogue from day one until the untimely death of Keith Moon.

From the stage clothes to the authentic stagegear + capturing
the mannerisms of The Who.
The Wholigans bring back memories of a Who of yesteryear which
has to be seen to be believed. 
With the thrashing windmills of Pete Townshend to the mic swinging
of Roger Daltrey and the incredible drumming style of Keith Moon
combined with the thunderfingers of John Entwistle. 
The Wholigans seem to have captured
the total package that is The Who.

                                           ___________

“Having seen the WHO in the 70's perform as warm-up act to
Hermans Hermits and thereafter rise to a pinnacle of success that
would instill them as one of the premiere bands to cross the Atlantic
during Rock  music's most creative period,

I had only to close my eyes to be transported back to that period in my life
again, when I first witnessed and photographed a live performance by 
The Wholigans. 
More than just a sincere form of flattery, The Wholigans fronted by lead
vocalist Barry Quinn have devoted their lives to accurately reproducing the
sound and attitude of one of the UK's most valuable musical commodities. 

This devotion will certainly guarantee immortality to The Who's music
as well as offer a most accurate visual and auditory  tribute. 
Long live The Wholigans …..and long live rock“
Carl Dunn  Iconic rock photographer who photographed The Who,
Elvis, Hendrix , Zeppelin and most of rock n rolls icons see here.
