Slippery When Wet, currently Ireland’s #1 Bon Jovi tribute act, return to the town after an absence of a couple of years to administer some ‘Bad Medicine’ to those who have managed to ‘Keep the Faith’ since their last visit to Dundalk.
The boys performed twice at the Spirit Store a few years ago and made a strong impression before a very good attendance.
After that, they went on to tour the country, and, fresh from a recent triumphant, post-Lockdown return, Slippery When Wet are now riding a ‘Blaze of Glory’ as Ireland's top Bon Jovi tributeers.
Fronted by the legendary Col Bon Jovi who has seen service in such well-regarded bands as Winter’s Reign and as lead singer with cover specialists ‘Dead Ringer’, Col believes he’s only an instrument to the audience; guiding them to the crescendo of one of the greatest rock bands on the Planet, Bon Jovi.
The rest of the band boasts a legacy which includes such fondly remembered acts as The Rock Monsters, Mr Nice Guy, Rock of Ages and various diverse tribute acts, too numerous to mention.
Slippery When Wet play all the hits including, Livin’ on a Prayer, It’s My Life, Always and Wanted Dead or Alive.
The band's five members have toured with some celebrated rock bands that gigged in the RDS and SFX with Magnum, Status Quo and they have performed in New York’s famous CBGB’s with Skid Row.
Currently touring Ireland, the band have sold out lots of venues, including Purty Loft Dun Laoghaire, Skylite Venue Warrenpoint and Bogans Venue Omagh, with The Times UK adding, how they “play note perfect renditions” and their front man is “captivating” and “…they are not just talented performers… they are masters of illusion” shedding blood, sweat and tears to fulfil the soulful music of Bon Jovi.
