ROXY MAGIC are a band of experienced and talented musicians who reproduce the diverse music and imagery of the hugely influential ROXY MUSIC and pop icon BRYAN FERRY. All the hits are performed with skill, style and verve to deliver an exciting and highly entertaining tribute; singer Kevin Hackett bears an uncanny resemblance to Ferry both visually and vocally, and has honed a stage presence which has received wide praise from fans of the original.
ROXY MAGIC perform their set of best remembered ROXY MUSIC hits totally live, believing it to be more dynamic than playing with the aid of backing tracks. Because of the unique range of ROXY MUSIC and BRYAN FERRY's music, from art rock to disco; 30's ballads to rock & roll and ultimately to the smooth sophistication of 'Avalon', the set has a great deal to offer to a wide audience. Their show comes fully contained with stage lighting and sound rig where required.
Remember and enjoy ‘Virginia Plain’, ‘Avalon’, ‘Dance Away’, ‘Street Life’, ‘Love is the Drug’, 'Angel Eyes', ‘Let’s Stick Together’ along with a host of massive hits and proven live favourites like ‘Re-Make/Re-Model’, ‘Ladytron’, ‘Both Ends Burning’ and 'If There Is Something' which featured in the Daniel Craig movie 'Flashbacks of a Fool'. The latter has proven so successful that the band have released a live version as a download single on iTunes.
The ROXY MAGIC show is a tried and tested hit at corporate functions, concerts, clubs, colleges, universities, military camps, theme evenings, balls, private parties or wedding celebrations. They can fit the show to almost any size venue and always produce a stunning performance not to be missed!

Kevin is a huge BRYAN FERRY fan and knows the man’s style better than most as he’s seen him perform live many times. He is so immersed in the vocal style of Ferry that he sounds like him even when singing songs by other artistes! Kevin’s image and vocal delivery is so stunningly like BRYAN FERRY that you have to remind yourself that he isn’t the genuine article. See ROXY MAGIC for yourself – you’ll be truly dazzled and amazed!

The Roxy Magic Manifesto
John Ozoroff - guitars
Experienced and extremely proficient in his guitar ability, John brings to ROXY MAGIC the picking style and myriad effects which conjure Phil Manzanera’s astonishing playing with cool aplomb.
Lee Sullivan - saxes
An improbable meeting in Portugal with his long-time sax-playing hero, ROXY MUSIC's Andy Mackay, inspired Lee to learn to play saxophone; he also uses a wind-synthesiser and Theremin to recreate other elements of ROXY MUSIC's unique sound.
He also is responsible for ROXY MAGIC's graphics and the design of this website; in another life he is a comic-strip artist - see www.leesullivan.co.uk.
Paul Woolley - keyboards
Playing ROXY MUSIC songs is one thing, but getting the right sounds is quite another. Paul achieves that great balance of patent musical ability and technical know-how to recreate the ROXY MUSIC sounds in real time. A superb keyboard player and excellent musician, Paul is also Musical Director of ROXY MAGIC.
Bob Hackett - bass
Bob is a respected bassist who adds the low notes and picks out to great effect the best of those supplied by the various bass players ROXY MUSIC have used in their line-up over the years. He also adds backing vocals.
Simon Atkins - drums
Simon is both a powerful drummer and admirer of The Great Paul Thompson; an ideal mix for reproducing the wide variety of ROXY MUSIC's drum patterns.
