NATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS "BEST TRIBUTE ARTIST" 2022 WINNERS & 2023 TOUR DATES
Wrong Jovi were delighted to be crowned "Best Tribute Artist" of 2023 at the National Entertainment Awards grand final in Grays, Essex on Sunday 27 November 2022. The victory follows the band winning "Best Tribute Artist" at the Northern Regional Entertainment Awards back in September. Not only did the band walk away with the top award, but Wrong Jovi also opened the ceremony with a performance of Livin' On A Prayer.
All of us in Wrong Jovi wish to thank our fans who have followed us over land and sea as well as vote for us in the initial stages of the awards. We would also like to extend our thanks to Roadie Rob Harding and Lisa Mead-Smith for their tireless hard work and support. It is also important to remember those who are no longer performing with us, but worked so hard in building up the Wrong Jovi name - Simon Tabert, Rhys Kirkman, Giuliano Ianarelli and Juan Manzanera have all worked as full time members of the band and will always be welcome to come and join us for a song or two in the future.
Finally we must thank all of the agents, venues and promoters across the world for all of their hard work and support in booking, promoting and putting on shows even in the most desperate of times when Covid hit our industry so hard.
