Band Bio:
The Goldhawks are a truly world-class international band, hailing from at least 3 different
countries. Acclaimed as the world’s number one tribute to The Who, the band boast many
accolades from friends and family of The Who themselves. Working in various outfits,
touring and meeting up once in a while, they realised they were all ardent fans of the best
