Following their transition from semi-professional to professional in 1991, The Firebirds have gone from strength to strength. Having been voted ‘Act of the month’ by Club Mirror, they have since played alongside household names such as Bob Monkhouse, Tom O’Connor, and Freddie Starr. During 1992 The Firebirds performed
at the official opening of the Euro Disney Theme Park in Paris. More recently, The Firebirds have undertaken extensive tours both in Britain and abroad. At home they have had very successful Summer Seasons performing at Holiday Venues, nightclubs and Military Establishments etc. The foreign tours included Belgium, Germany, Holland, France, Denmark and Spain.
