City entrepreneur excited to bring Replica Live to Cathedral ruins later this year

Coventry Editorial 23rd Feb, 2017   0

A CITY entrepreneur is hoping pop music fans will be seeing double, or even triple, at Coventry Cathedral this May at a brand new tribute show.

Replica Live is being staged inside Coventry Cathedral Ruins on Friday, May 12, and will feature some of the world’s best-loved tribute artists for Michael Jackson, Tom Jones and ABBA.

The performance is the brain-child of Jason Fox – who grew up in Binley and attended Coventry University.

Jason has secured three of the most popular, world-class, tributes in the industry.




Navi, known worldwide as the number one tribute act to the King of Pop, will be appearing as Michael Jackson, while ABBA Revival have picked up awards for their take on the Swedish sensations.

Andy Wood has been entertaining audiences as Tom Jones around the world for several years after making his name on hit TV show Stars in Their Eyes in 1993.


Also responsible for Coventry University’s annual Summer Ball, Fox said Replica Live will be his biggest public event yet.

He added: “I am really excited to bring Replica Live to Coventry Cathedral and there is already interest in taking the show to other venues around the UK.

“I’m a Coventry kid and wanted to bring it to my home city first, there’s no better venue than the Cathedral Ruins and it’s great to see it hosting so many different events as the city bids to be UK City of Culture.”

The Coventry University graduate is hoping the event will attract groups of friends and couples to come out and enjoy some live music within the iconic surroundings.

Not even the weather will put people off as Jason has arranged for the event to be hosted in a large marquee.

He said: “There will be nothing to stop everyone having a brilliant night.

“The three acts we have secured are all fantastic and are among the best-loved pop acts of all time.”

Tickets for the event – which include unlimited fairground rides in University Square – are priced £19.50 and go on sale from Friday (February 24), with 2,000 available.
