RUMOURS, 40 YEARS
(A FLEETWOOD MAC TRIBUTE)
Rumours is the eleventh studio album of the iconic band Fleetwood Mac.
Like so many others I was instantly in love with this record as soon as I discovered it.
Apart from the powerful songs, each one of extraordinary craftsmanship and quality, the story behind the music grabbed my attention and moved me deeply.
I wanted to experience how it felt to play the album live, to really dig into the songs and feel them through.
The intention was never to just cover the songs, but to do them honor, as a true FM devotee.
I gathered the most amazing gang of musicians that perfectly fit the job.
Neeka - vocals, piano
Sara Gilis - vocals, keyboards, MD
Marco Cirone - vocals, guitar
Rob Vanspauwen - guitar
David Broeders - guitar, percussion
Kevin Maenen - bass
Alessio Di Turi - drums
It all started out with one gig in 2015, just for the fun of it.
But we had such a tremendous blast that we just hád to continue the project.
Selling it was not easy. Booking agencies as well as venues were hard to convince of the power of this production.
I had to take matters in my own hands and really went for it.
What followed was one hell of a ride.
We played shows in Belgium and the Netherlands, selling out the majority of them.
Muze, The Roma, De Effenaar, C-Mine, Muziekgieterij, De Warande,... and Blues Peer.
Childhood dreams coming true!
But it was never my intention to start a tribute band on the long term.
I really wanted to keep it real, to play every concert in the right vibe, to be inspired by FM with every single note we played or sung. My biggest concern was it becoming a routine. That is why, after this great trip, we took a long break.
But there is some good news...
In 2026 Rumours turns 50!
So...
RUMOURS, 50 YEARS
