STADIUM rock fans will not be Livin' on a Prayer on August 7 when a top tribute band perform at the Railway Hotel in Burnham.

The Bon Jovi Experience are the only tribute band to have performed with Bon Jovi himself and have received great praise from celebrity fans.

DJ and TV personality Chris Evans said they were the best tribute band he had ever seen, while Nikelback frontman Chad Kroeger said of frontman Tony: “Have you seen this guy? He's that much like Jon Bon Jovi it's freaky man.”

The Bon Jovi Experience is made up of Tony - aka Jon By Jovi - Jon on drums, Steve on bass, Steve on keyboards and Edd on guitar.

Tony has been performing this music for more than ten years and resembles the singer so much he was mobbed when he was mistaken for the real Bon Jovi by hundreds of screaming fans at a Bon Jovi gig.

In 2006, Tony and the band received the ultimate accolade when Bon Jovi asked them to perform live at the Hard Rock Café in London for the celebrations surrounding the band's induction into the UK rock 'n' roll hall of fame.

During this performance Jon Bon Jovi himself joined Tony and the band on the stage and they performed live together.

Tickets are £6 from the box office on 01278-784828.
