BOOTLEG BLONDIE

The Official Blondie Tribute Band

are the world’s No.1 official Debbie Harry and Blondie tribute band, established in 2001. This band are the only tribute to have performed with two original founder members of Blondie, legendary drummer Clem Burke and singer, songwriter bass player and author Gary Valentine. BB had the honour to be thanked on Blondie’s 11th album “Pollinator” and have performed at the infamous CBGB club in New York City, appearing regularly at many top venues and festivals in the UK and Europe. Lead singer Debbie Harris (as seen on BBC1) says her pride and joy is her guitar that she plays during her shows, signed by all the Blondie band members.

To celebrate 40 years since the release of Blondie’s iconic 1978 album ‘Parallel Lines’ Clem joined Bootleg Blondie on drums for not one but two UK tours in 2019 covering nearly 5,000 miles and playing to over 7,000 people!

LIVE REVIEW

"The band arrived on stage, and we were soon tapping our feet to the opening bars of the classic ‘Heart Of Glass,’ and doing double-takes when singer Debbie Harris appeared in the classic little black dress, with the single slender shoulder strap; diminutive, with the trademark shaggy blonde bob, scarlet lipstick, and perky confidence. “Once I had a love, and it was a gas …” rang out, and there was no mistaking that high pitched, crystal clear vocal. We could be seeing the real thing, here! Well, it’s about as close as you can get. It’s rare, indeed, to see a tribute band with this degree of constructed authenticity, combining looks, voice, attitude, and body language. The audience were in heaven, dancing along to all the hits and, respectfully, nodding along to the rhythm of the lesser-known songs. Bootleg Blondie delivered exactly what any Debbie Harry fan could have possibly wished for. The uncanny resemblance, and vocals, of singer Debbie Harris, and the magnificent recreation of a stream of immortal classic tunes. The audience were bouncing, and singing along, all night. If the original band ever need a break, they know who to call."
