Lyrics to Kiss Me by Six Pence Non The Richer

Kiss me out of the bearded barley,
Nightly beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step,
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh-oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight,
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
Silver moon’s sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house,
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat,
We’ll take the trail marked on your father’s map

Oh-oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight,
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
Silver moon’s sparkling
So kiss me

‘Britpop Reunion‘ live performance of Britney Spears ‘Baby One More Time” in our very own rock cover version style. This song was performed as well as another ninety minutes of nineties chart topping songs in front of two thousand plus screaming students at University of Exeter, Penryn Campus.  Back in 2017 Britpop Reunion were hired by the university for their ‘Back to The 90’s’ event.  Consequently we headlined the Saturday night. As you’ll see from the video below the students and faculty all massively enjoyed themselves dancing and crowd surfing along all night to songs by Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Supergrass, and more from our 90’s tribute band repertoire. Contact Britpop artist Andy Starkey to check on price and availability to hire a 90’s cover band for a University event or ball. 

This really was an amazing gig for us with professional 90’s band Britpop Reunion put on an amazing performance. The Top Of The Pops stage dressing really was the icing on the cake for pure 90’s authenticity. Penryn Campus venue had hired in a huge PA system and their own dedicated sound engineer and lighting engineer. 90’s cover band Britpop Reunion were then able to just purely concentrate on performing and entertaining the crowd. We soundcheck, chilled out for a bit and then got changed into our on stage clothing. Then all of a sudden we were walking onto the stage and boy oh boy did we perform well. The whole crowd instantly joined in “Oh Baby baby, how was I supposed to know…”. This really was one of the best gigs of our lives. 

Baby One More Time Rock Cover Version video

Live to 6000+ festival punters at RAF Brizefest, Brize Norton

And then live at a festival to 4000+ festival goers

‘Baby One More Time’ was released by Britney Spears in September 1998 and topped the charts at number one in the UK and in many other countries around the world. It was written by Max Martin also known for the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” (released in 1999). This was Britney’s debut single and instantly made her a household name. Her success continued through the 90’s into the Naughties and still to this very day. Most recently from 2019 onwards she was in the news disputing her conservatorship with her father Jamie Spears. And there was even a hashtag for it #FreeBritney 

Check out the photos from the university event below and afterwards contact for price and availability for a 90’s themed event or University ball. 

Youre Gorgeous By Babybird Cover by premium Britpop tribute band Britpop Reunion. Performed live at one of our many sell out ticketed events. The single was released in September 1996 and it reached number 3 in the UK charts. You’ll still hear this Britpop banger everywhere you go including in your local supermarket. You’re Gorgeous was written by lead singer / frontman Stephen Jones and it was taken from the album Ugly Beautiful which reached 9 in the UK charts. To hire a 90s party band contact band leader Andy. 

Youre Gorgeous By Babybird Cover

You’re Gorgeous by Baby Bird only actually has two chords which are C and Fadd9. It is only the bass that makes it sound like there are 3 chords which makes it sound like it goes to a G chord on the 4th bar, but it doesn’t, the guitar stays the same on Fadd9…which contains a G note in it…..Clever eh 🙂 

Three other singles in total were released from Ugly Beautiful in order they are:

• Goodnight – Reached number 28 in the UK charts
• Candy Girl – Reached number 14 in the UK charts
• Cornershop – Reached number 37 in the UK charts

Lyrics for Your Gorgeous

Remember that tank top you bought me, you wrote ‘You’re Gorgeous’ on it,
You took me to your rented motor car and filmed me on the bonnet,

You got me to hitch my knees up and pulled my legs apart,
You took an instamatic camera and pulled my sleeves around my heart,

Because you’re gorgeous I’d do anything for you.
Because you’re gorgeous I know you’ll get me through.

You said my clothes were sexy, you tore away my shirt.
You rubbed an ice-cube on my chest snapped me ’til it hurt.

Because you’re gorgeous I’d do anything for you.
Because you’re gorgeous I know you’ll get me through.

You said I wasn’t cheap. You paid me twenty pounds.
You promised to put me in a magazine on every table in every lounge.

Because you’re gorgeous I’d do anything for you.
Because you’re gorgeous I know you’ll get me through.

From The Poznan style crowd moments made famous during Oasis’s “Cigarettes and Alcohol” to wall-to-wall 90s anthems, Britpop Reunion deliver the full energy of Britpop live on stage. This is a high-impact Britpop and 90s tribute band built to turn audiences into participants and events into unforgettable nights. Contact band leader Andy to enquire on price and availability. 

What is The Poznan Oasis Cigarettes And Alcohol

The Poznan itself began far from the gig arena, originating with supporters of Lech Poznań, a Polish football club whose fans famously turned their backs to the pitch, linked arms, and bounced in unison to celebrate goals. The tradition spread across Europe and was later embraced by English football crowds — most notably Manchester City supporters — before crossing naturally into live music culture. Its adoption by Oasis, especially during moments like “Cigarettes & Alcohol”, felt inevitable: the same unity, defiance, and collective release that defined both football terraces and 90s British live music. Today, The Poznan stands as a symbol of crowd connection — thousands of individuals moving as one — and a perfect expression of the spirit Britpop Reunion bring to every show.

Britpop Reunion celebrate the golden era of British guitar music — when gigs were loud, emotional, and shared. The band recreate the atmosphere that defined the 90s: arms around shoulders, voices raised together, and crowds moving as one. It’s not about copying one band; it’s about capturing the feeling of an era that changed live music culture forever.

The Poznan is used as a reference point for what Britpop Reunion do best — creating moments where the crowd becomes the show. Popularised by Oasis fans during “Cigarettes and Alcohol”, it symbolises everything that made Britpop special: unity, release, and collective joy. 90s party band Britpop Reunion channel that same spirit across their set, encouraging audience participation and delivering moments that people film, share, and talk about long after the night ends.

For promoters, venues, and event organisers, Britpop Reunion offer more than a standard tribute act. Their set is carefully structured to build momentum, combining instantly recognisable Britpop and 90s classics with natural crowd interaction. The result is a packed dance-floor, a loud singalong, and a room that feels alive from the first song to the final chorus.

This makes Britpop Reunion ideal for:

• Live music venues and club nights
• Festivals and outdoor stages
• Corporate parties and brand activations
• University events and student unions
• Private celebrations, birthdays, and reunions

What makes Britpop Reunion special

The band understand that great live music is about atmosphere as much as sound. Every performance is delivered with professionalism, confidence, and an instinctive understanding of how Britpop crowds respond. Whether it’s a tight indoor venue or a large festival field, Britpop Reunion know how to scale their performance and keep audiences fully engaged.

Booking Britpop Reunion means booking music that works across generations. Original Britpop fans relive the nights that defined their youth, while younger audiences experience the power of 90s live culture for the first time. It’s nostalgic, energetic, and proven to connect.

If you’re looking to book a band that delivers Britpop and 90s live energy, complete with iconic crowd moments like The Poznan, Britpop Reunion are ready to bring it to your stage.

Enquire now and make your event one to remember.

I, Andy Starkey, lead singer/bass player of Britpop Reunion do make the odd appearance from time to time on radio, podcasts and TV but it was very interesting to be called up the BBC to give my thoughts on tribute bands. I was also asked for my opinion on how ABBA are set to sue ABBA Mania tribute band for the BBC Radio 4 Today Program with Nick Robinson. The best thing about this was that I also got to discuss these topics with famous Britpop Pulp drummer Nick Banks. I’m a huge Pulp fan so this was a great fun for me. The interview was done live on BBC Radio 2 on 8th December 2021. 

You can watch a “Fonejacker’ style video I produced to go along with the program below. (It took me 11 long hours to create this video by the way). Now that’s some serious effort don’t you think? Before we get into the ins and outs of it all though if you want to hire a Britpop tribute band then contact me to hire Britpop Reunion for your next live event. 

Tribute Bands BBC Radio show featuring Britpop Pulp drummer Nick Banks.

Being a member of a 90’s tribute band I of course had more thoughts on the matter so thought I’d take the time to write them up below…..

I was called up by a researcher from BBC Radio 4 The Today Program and asked if I wouldn’t mind being interviewed the following morning on the show. The researcher stated that we’d be discussing tribute bands with Nick Banks from Pulp so how could I say no being a massive Pulp fan? 

Even though the researcher was looking for a Pulp Tribute Band she still thought it was a great idea to speak to myself about tribute bands in general. I explained that we’re not officially a ‘Tribute to Pulp” but we do play a number of their songs including Common People (A superb encore song) and Disco 2000. On occasion I will don my brown Jarvis Cocker suit for live performances which I purchased from a charity shop back in the mid 90’s.  Britpop Reunion are a tribute to a music scene in the 90’s based around lad culture and indie pop music. Therefore we perform music by artists such as Oasis, Blur, Supergrass, James and other famous Brit pop bands. We also play music by other 90’s artists like Alanis Morissette, Britney Spears, The Rembrandts, Robbie Williams and more.

Tribute bands verses the original band.

It’s worth noting that during the interview I had no idea that they would be comparing Britpop Reunion’s LIVE version of ‘Common People‘ against the actual STUDIO version by Pulp. I think it sounded pretty decent though, don’t you? What other Britpop tribute band have had their songs directly compared to the originals on national radio like this?

Suing tribute bands

I had to look up the subject matter “ABBA to sue tribute band ABBA Mania” as I hadn’t heard about it.  I am slightly in two minds about Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad suing the tribute band called ABBA Mania. The main issue seems to be that the tribute group had been using the term “Official” in their blurbs. Which for me is pushing it a little too far. Wording it like this makes it sound as if it’s an endorsement from the ABBA band members themselves. When this is clearly not the case.

But having since been contacted by a member of ABBA Mania he tells me the only reason they use the term “Official” is in relation to their own tribute band, NOT ABBA. It seems that other ABBA tributes have turned up calling themselves the exact same tribute band name ‘ABBA Mania’ trying to win work of the back of “The Original ABBA Mania” name. Thus an imitation of imitation of imitation has been created. Very bizarre eh.

Defending Tribute Bands

In defence of ABBA Mania, they have been together since the late 90’s. So why have ABBA chosen to take this legal action only now and not 21 years ago? Does it have something to do with the fact that after 41 years of NOT touring live themselves they have suddenly come up with this ridiculous and very expensive “Virtual” “Hologram” tour and feel it will impact their own ticket sales? Surely not right? When bands stop touring live, break up, quit or even members die it’s tribute bands that keep the legacy and music of the band alive. Tribute acts can keep solid interest in bands over many, many decades as shown by all the Beatles and Rolling Stones tributes out there.

There are probably as many ABBA tribute bands on the scene as there are Oasis tributes and Queen tributes. If ABBA have decided to take this kind of action then are all other tributes to various artists up for the chop next? To an extent I say good on ABBA Mania for sticking to their guns. All these articles online really are some fantastic promo for this ABBA tribute. As they say “No publicity is bad publicity”. I bet their agents phone is ringing off the hook now with theatres trying to book them.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

The cynical side of me just thinks this is probably designed to get ABBA back in the news again. It’s the PR machine there to freely advertise help sell tickets for their ridiculous virtual live show. There’s also a good chance it’s probably just some lawyer who has contacted ABBAs lawyer and said “I can do this for you” and they’ve just run with it. 

To quote Oscar Wilde ‘Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can play to greatness’. So surely this applies here? Of course he never stated whether retribution should be received for “Copying” someone else’s work though did he.

Not the first instance of an original band suing a tribute band.

It is not the first time ABBA lawyers have been on the prowl and it won’t be the last either. I personally know someone who played in an ABBA tribute who were forced to change their name and even had their Facebook page completely removed. She is now in a completely different theatre touring ABBA tribute so I hope they are not plagued by this sort of thing any time soon.

Buying tickets for and seeing a tribute band live.

No person buying a ticket to see a tribute act thinks they are seeing the real band/group. Most of the time no intellectual property is being stolen by a tribute band performing music and dressing up like a successful original band. No one is being fooled into buying tickets. Who on earth would think they are going to see “The Real Beatles”? Nearly 60 years after they stopped touring AND still dressed in Shea Stadium outfits?

Buying tickets to see a tribute band is not like going to see “Dodgy Dave” on the market stall selling counterfeit goods like Fred Perry and Adidas Originals.  You’re not being fooled into paying only £15 for something that usually retails at £60.

Tribute bands are an opportunity to see your favourite bands you missed out on. Either because you were too young at the time or just because life got in the way. There’s also a good chance you just couldn’t afford the “Real Thing”. Sure you COULD go and see Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr (If you sold a kidney). But you’re not really seeing “The Beatles” are you. When punters go and see tribute bands like “The Bootleg Beatles” or “Britpop Reunion” it’s the next best thing. And all at a very reasonable price too.

Who is earning money by tribute bands performing at theatres?

I’m sure that 99.99999% of none musical folks out there don’t even realise that when a tribute act plays a theatre they have to list every artists and song they play. The venue then takes a cut from the bands pay which gets paid to the actual original artists as royalties. So tribute bands like ABBA, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Queen , Tina Turner, Oasis etc must be raking it in while sitting comfortably on their bums at home.

Theatres employ a large amount of staff and revenue is generated for the venue not just from ticket sales. But also sales from food, drink and a percentage cut of the merchandise being sold. All of which are taxable and go back into the economy.

Tribute band “Endorsements”

Unfortunately fake endorsements are rife in the tribute industry (Except for ‘Britpop Reunion’) with claims of musicians being:

• The Number One Tribute to Britpop
• The UK’s Best Tribute to Britpop
• The UK’s Premiere Britpop Tribute Band

Of course though, none of these claims can ever be backed up with evidence. What do these statements even mean? WHO has decided these bands are ‘Number One/The Best’ etc? It’s usually just someone in the band giving themselves that monocle. Maybe they have been ‘Voted’ that endorsement by some ‘Industry Awards’? Ha!!!!! Industry awards are an utter scam and mean absolutely nothing. You pay to be entered into a category. Then you pay to attend the awards ceremony. Afterwards you pay for your award. Ergo YOU BUY THE AWARD. In some cases it’s even more ridiculous when an artist states they are “The Best tribute to Oasis”. Yet they’re just a one man show singing along to karaoke tracks.

A funny story about tribute bands and more legal action.

‘The Karpets’ are a tribute to the late 80’s/Early 90’s indie band ‘Inspiral Carpets’ . Nowadays this tribute band actually features the original singer of Inspiral Carpets ‘Tom Hingley’ fronting the tribute band. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of another similar case to this in musical history.

Recently 90’s grunge artists ‘Pearl Jam’ threatened to sue a tribute to them and made them change their band name. Looking back at their website and social media this was no doubt due to the tribute band being stupid. They had used the original artists logo and graphics from their single ‘Alive’. But, again in this tribute bands defence, Pearl Jam actually encouraged their fans to Bootleg (Record the audio from) their live performances. Of which Pearl Jam have sold nearly 14 million copies of various shows from across the world. So them threatening legal action really doesn’t sit well with me either. Considering Pearl Jam make money from these recordings.

In conclusion I firmly believe that tribute bands have the right to exist. They have the right to make money and in turn have the right to make money for the original artists. I really enjoyed my time speaking live on the radio and you can hire me speak about similar things and Britpop/The 90’s in general too. To hire a 90’s tribute band contact Britpop Reunion.

A little information on Nick Banks from Pulp.

Nick Banks was the drummer in Britpop band Pulp from 1986 until the band split up in 2002. He then joined them once again for the Pulp reunion from 2011 to 2013. He is still drumming in a few bands around his home town of Sheffield. Also he runs the family pottery business.

Our credentials as a Harry Potter Wedding Band

It’s not absolutely impossible to meet actors from the Harry Potter films, they sometimes show up at conventions. Imagine having the guts to ask three of these actors to appear on stage with you while you perform ‘Do The Hippogriff‘ from Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire though? Well that’s what we did in the below live video. We were at a Harry Potter Convention performing live for the guests at their Yule Ball style event and we asked Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley, brother of Ron Weasley), Jon Campling (Death Eater) & Chris Rithin (Dudley Dursley’s gang member) to join us on stage. What good sports they were, look at them jump around and rock out. What other band out there can say they’ve done anything like this? The answer……NONE!

These Harry Potter actors even reviewed us after the event and said these lovely things about us.

Chris Rankin  / Percy Weasley “Awesome band, awesome night”

Jon Campling / Death Eater “Britpop Reunion freakin’ owned it tonight at the World Of Wizardry Ball. Serious #britpop #skillz #livemusic”

Just how authentic will you go at your Harry Potter themed wedding?

Imagine recreating something like that and book our Harry Potter tribute band to perform at your Harry Potter themed event. Speaking of that dance, do you know the EXACT date of the dance? It’s 25th December 1994. Do you know who was at number one in the UK charts on that exact date? It was East 17 with ‘Stay Another Day’.
