Gary Barlow wrote many of Take That's biggest songs. A Gary tribute suits audiences who love the ballads and the singalongs, without needing a full boy band line-up.
About our Gary Barlow tribute
Our Gary Barlow tribute is performed by Dan Hadfield, who has sung with Gary himself and doubled as his lookalike on television.
How the show can be booked
Dan Hadfield's Gary Barlow show comes as two 45-minute sets or one 60-minute set and covers both Take That and Gary's solo songs. With two 45-minute sets, one can open the evening party and one can close it. One hour-long show works when a DJ covers the rest of the night. Ask about background music between sets.
The songs guests will expect
Every Gary Barlow show should include the songs people know from the 90s to today, such as:
- Back for Good
- Patience
- Rule the World
- Shine
- Forever Love
- Pray
Why this show is worth a look
- Dan has sung with Gary Barlow himself and doubled as his lookalike on television.
- He tailors the set to the audience, sometimes adding lesser-known album tracks for big fans.
- He has recorded his own albums, including two Gary Barlow and Take That cover albums.
