Rob Comber
Lead Vocals, Piano, Guitar
Rob started as a guitarist in the early 80’s playing in various original bands including ‘Empyr’ in the early 90’s, ‘Stride’ and ‘Dibbles Beats’. He then moved forward as lead singer and guitarist in the highly respected cover band Sonic Oblivion.
Queen has always been a big influence in Rob’s music, especially the vocal and guitar harmonies and arrangement’s along with Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Rush.
Rob joined The Bohemians in 2004 and his natural musical talent enabled him to quickly learn to play the piano for the Freddie part.
Rob’s outrageous stage antics and personality makes him the perfect Freddie bringing his strong vocal ability and musical skills required to fill one of the hardest parts in rock.
"Brian May"
Marcus Tate
Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals
Marcus, a musical alchemist, weaves together the vibrant threads of Queen’s rock anthems and intricate vocal melodies. Marcus discovered his passion for music and guitar at the early age of seven and was heavily influenced by the outrageous rock and pop of the 1970s.
His love and skill for playing the guitar shows in his soaring guitar solos. His style and technique are a sensory delight. He is a consummate performer and knows how to get the crowd going, just like his alter-ego, Brian May. Marcus was always fascinated by Queen’s music, which to him comprises energy, appeal and excellently crafted, very original songs.
Marcus is an award-winning musician, having played the part Bjorn in a highly respected Abba tribute band before joining The Bohemians. He was awarded ‘UK’s Top Abba Tribute’ for several years in a row.
Marcus is delighted to be touring with The Bohemians, and whether he’s feathering a ballad or igniting a rock anthem, Marcus embodies the spirit of both Brian and Queen, leaving audiences spellbound.
"Roger Taylor"
Dan Church
Drums, Backing Vocals
Dan has been playing the drums, singing and involved in music since the age of 10. Over the years he has been in a wide variety of projects from a ‘Top 40’ Pop Band to Theatre Touring, Tribute Bands, TV Work and International Gigging.
There’s been glamorous venues and locations …. but like most musicians he’s played hundreds of function gigs, theatre shows, corporate gigs and everything in between. This has enabled him to develop his backing and lead vocals which makes him the perfect Roger Taylor!
Dan describes himself as, ‘just a jobbing musician who enjoys drumming and singing and brings passion to everything he plays’. He likes to think that he is happy, helpful and his spirit flies high.
"John Deacon"
Kevin Goodwin
Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals
Kevin from South London, who was lucky enough to see Queen twice in 1986, says ‘The Bohemians is based on what I would love & hope to see in a Queen tribute band… the energy, the costumes and the showmanship.
Kevin started playing Bass at the age of 18 playing in local cover and original bands such as Destiny, Pentamania & The Shambles!
Kevin helped to form The Bohemians in 1996 with founder members Kenny Evans & Mike Nolan. Being a lifelong Queen fan, this was a very easy choice for Kevin which became a labour of love helping to build the band over the years.
Kevin’s playing style provides a very solid backbone which captures that unmistakeable solid rhythm section that Deacon & Taylor were so universally admired for.
Kevin now lives near Stratford Upon Avon with his wife and daughter.
