‘ANTHEMS’ is a brand new show brought to you by one of Scotland’s best known entertainers, Jim Smart. The show features a selection of show-stopping anthems from various genres of music, performed to perfection by the man who has blasted out hit after hit of Queen as a Freddie Mercury tribute for over 20 years.
Jim has consolidated the invaluable experience he has gained throughout the years to introduce a brand new and unique entertainment concept, showcasing his extensive vocal range with a high energy performance, and showcasing his vocal talent as a solo artist in his own right.
"After 20 years of singing under the guise of the legendary Freddie Mercury, it's time to apply the same level of energy, showmanship and performance to my own branded show. I want to maintain Freddie's spirit and apply it to music very few people would attempt to perform, offering a brand new and unique entertainment concept" Jim Smart
“Anthems” features songs that will blow your socks off, some of which may be familiar to most and others, simply breathtaking songs from other genres of music, proving that music is indeed universal.
