Live/Wire - The AC/DC Show
Having established themselves as the hardest working AC/DC tribute in
the UK, Live/Wire bring a unique show to the stage by playing both the
Bon Scott AND Brian Johnson eras with two very individual singers, in
the same explosive performance!
With Tink, Ed & Daz providing a rock hard rhythm section you can set a watch to, Lorne cutting the rug as Angus Young with his frenzied fretboard antics and Jon & Grant as the legendary Bon Scott and Brian Johnson themselves, Live/Wire hold all the aces!
The band continues to develop and enhance their live performance to reach their ultimate goal - the perfect reproduction of the AC/DC show!
The Stick This In Your Fusebox 2008 tour sees Live/Wire presenting a full AC/DC show in theatres - with the Cannons, the walkways, the backdrops and the drapes. "Attention to detail" is their aim, and, from the AC/DC signature sound, instruments and stage attire, right through to recreating the moves AND the grooves... it’s all present & correct!
If you are going to reproduce an AC/DC show, you have to do it right and
the band pride themselves on creating an exact replica of an AC/DC show
which gives the fans great value for money and keeps them coming back
for more!
The 2008 tour will see the largest production yet for the audience to savour. Who said bigger isn't better?!! A Live/Wire show is all about the band AND the fans being in it together - and they don’t just want to invite you to an AC/DC show - they want you slap bang, front row centre for the whole experience!
As any AC/DC fan will tell you – there is only one AC/DC.
And as any Live/Wire fan will tell you - there is only one complete AC/DC show - and that is LIVE/WIRE!!

- 2000 - Gary Foster (founder member and 'Angaz') dons the school uniform for the first time.
- 2001 - Supported U.F.O. and Wishbone Ash at the Rock and Blues Festival. Toured the West Country to sold out audiences, performed live on Scottish radio and performed to 200 German AC/DC fans on the eve of the AC/DC Milton Keynes show on the Stiff Upper Lip tour.
- 2002 - Clocks up nearly a 100 shows during the calendar year and records an album of AC/DC classics.
- 2003 - More headway gained as the band, now in heavy demand, start to play theatres, art venues and are a regular attraction at the UK's top bike festivals.

2007 - Live/Wire were sad to accept founder member Gary Foster’s step down, for health reasons, but he will always be a part of the band he helped create. After standing in for a number of shows, Lorne was successfully recruited as the 'Lock Up Your Mothers' tour loomed large. Mark then left to pursue other activities. No stone was left unturned in unearthing Andy Tinker, whose dedication to AC/DC completed the circle & matched that of the rest of the band. Live/Wire now has it's truest line up to date.
- 2008 - The aptly titled tour 'Stick This In Your Fusebox' kicks off in earnest in February. Once again, the band has invested in the stageshow. This time, it's in the shape of wall to wall Marshalls, to complement the walkway wherever possible.
- THE BALL CONTINUES TO ROLL...
