AFTER humble beginnings playing pub gigs, Queen tribute Mercury were catapulted into the limelight after being picked to play a summer season in Spain.

After a run of hot, heady nights won them a "Best show in Spain Award" in 1999, they found worldwide fame.

Mercury have since featured in a New Year's Eve concert in Dubai that was broadcast live by MTV to millions of homes across Asia, and even playing for original member Roger Taylor, at his request.

On Friday (May 18) the top tribute act will be recreating some of Queen's regal magic at Morecambe's Dome.
