Il Sensational Alex Harvey ExperienceIl Sensational Alex Harvey Experience

Since forming in 2015 as a ‘Sensational’ tribute to Scotland’s finest, one-of-a-kind rock sons and his band, the Sensational Alex Harvey Experience (SAHE) have grown to become one of the most respected tribute bands on the circuit. They are described as "the best SAHB tribute band out there", by Zal Cleminson himself. 2025 was the 10yr anniversary for the band which coincided with the 50 year anniversary of the release of the legendary SAHB 'Live' album. SAHE played all songs from the album as part of their 2025 set.   They also have the nod from kin of the late, great and sadly missed Alex Harvey (“My dad would have approved" -Alex Harvey Jr.), which is another pointer to the combined talents of vocalist Andy Massie, keyboardist David Cowan, guitarist Rob Jones, bass player Nelson McFarlane and drummer Chris Killen. (Cowan and McFarlane also recorded and toured as members of Zal Cleminson's /Sin Dogs/). Original SAHB bass player (Chris Glen) has also shared the stage with SAHE and said "they are the best SAHB since SAHB!" The band has almost 8k followers on social media and have played in venues the length and breadth of the UK. In 2025/26 the band will visit areas where they have not yet appeared e.g. North West of England, Wales, London and Northern Ireland. E.g. In 2026 SAHE is scheduled to appear at The Waterloo in Blackpool, the Bootleg Ball in Minehead and the 100 Club in London in 2026. Those who have seen the band live will attest to their musicality and theatricality. This is a party band (with a hint of menace!) Also, the band has released versions of SAHB songs (fully licensed from Universal) including a Xmas Single and video (Spotify and YouTube links on next page). The songs were given respectful nods to the SAHB originals whilst adding a modern, contemporary-edged twist to each classic. An SAHE album and live DVD was released late 2025 and are available at gigs. Recording and releasing new licensed versions of classic numbers is an innovative approach for a tribute band but one that has been welcomed by SAHB aficionados of old, and new fans picked up 'on the road.’ But then, the Sensational Alex Harvey Experience are first and foremost SAHB fans themselves, dedicated to keeping both the music, and the theatrics, alive.
