Bon Jovi Experience return to Limelight Club in Crewe

Dec 16 2009 by Will Harris, Crewe Chronicle

PREMIER tribute act The Bon Jovi Experience returns to the Limelight Club in Hightown, Crewe on Friday.

The outfit, who used to be known as By Jovi, stand out for their incredible similarities in both appearance and sound to the real thing, so much so that lead singer Tony Pearce was once mobbed by hundreds of autograph-hunting fans and photographers at a Bon Jovi gig.

Opera-trained Pearce joined By Jovi in the mid-1990’s shortly before the tribute band phenomenon began, and together they toured all over the UK, Europe and Middle East.

After splitting in 2004, he felt he couldn’t let a good thing die, and, together with guitarist Steve Millichamp, formed the Bon Jovi Experience, bringing with him By Jovi members Jon Tico, Rob Hugh and Chris Dave.

Over time, The Bon Jovi Experience has gained a legion of fans, including Jon Bon Jovi himself who once invited them to perform live with him at London’s Hard Rock Café.

Doors open at 8pm and tickets are priced £9.
