Aboyne Music, Performances and Events

Music at Aboyne aims to bring regular live music performances to Aboyne and the wider Deeside area. So far, it has brought a number of young (and not so young) musicians to play live in Aboyne Community Theatre, the Victory Hall, Aboyne and in Finzean. They come in twos and threes and fours – playing a variety of music from all periods. Some play accessible classical music, some jazz, some Scottish traditional. We have even had a tribute band – Simon and Garfunkel by Bookends, the tremendous Abbamania, Jersey Notes and Irish favourites, Legends of American Country – which provided much delight and look forward to welcoming more.

THE FREDDIE & QUEEN EXPERIENCE

Saturday 9th September, 7.30pm

Deeside Community Centre Theatre, Aboyne

Along with the many fans who mourn the loss of Freddie Mercury, The Freddie & The Queen Experience, aim to celebrate the wealth of talent that came together in Queen by recreating, with breathtaking accuracy, the style and excitement of a LIVE Queen concert, which sadly, will never be seen with Freddie Mercury again.

The Freddie & QUEEN Experience are the UK’s Premier Queen & Freddie Mercury Tribute Band who are internationally & critically acclaimed. The band performs all over the world with sell out shows in the UK & abroad, with most recently in UAE & Europe. They deliver a passionate & energy packed show full of all QUEEN’s greatest hits!

This will be a licenced event.
