“Rocking out – BC/DC: Break Cover does AC/DC and Oh My
Goodness! I’ve never seen so many grown men, in flip flops, run to the stage
and start jumping up and down in my entire life… absolutely just this huge gang of guys just suddenly jumping up and down, loving every minute. There was guitar solos being done: the works. Absolutely brilliant. And BC/DC just do not disappoint. They’ve all nailed their parts on doing the AC/DC songs. You can see they’re enjoying it as well. They really do. They embrace it and they’re having fun. Just, yeah! Brilliant, just brilliant. We could’ve just done that –you know put a big BRILLIANT sign on the screen or something.

Simon and the guys were very easy and friendly to deal with, both beforehand and on the day. They cover a great repertoire from the early 60s to more-or-less the present day, but crucially stick to songs they know they can do justice to – which are many. So thanks guys; you sent us `rocking` into married life!”
