   About The Wholigans
For the past 25 years, The Wholigans: The Ultimate and Original Tribute to the WHO have been entertaining Who fans from all over the world.

Originating in Toronto, Canada in 1982; the Wholigans have built a large following of WHO fans through their performances at WHO Conventions in various parts of the world, including the US and Europe, as well as numerous American & UK tours, and festivals.

The Wholigans Profile on WFLA NBC Channel 8's 'The Spot'

Highlights includes:

The 2006 London Who Convention (Headlining the stage along with The Who's Roger Daltrey and Simon Townshend's -Pete's brother- duet during Casbah Club's set)

Co - Headlining the stage With Blue Oyster Cult in front of an estimated crowd 40,000 people at the Cotee River Bike Fest.

Performing for photographer/former WHO road managerTom Wright Tom Wright's photo exhibtion in Traverse City, Michigan. Guest also included Ian MacLagan of The Faces.

A pre - WHO show for 12,000 @ Tampa, Florida's St. Petersburg Times Forum

and many more...............

Summertime Blues - Live at the 2006 London Who Convention

The Wholigans captures not only the sound and essence of The Who but could easily pass for the original members of THE WHO. While the band concentrates on the 'Tommy'/'Woodstock'/'Live at Leeds' era; their repertoire also contains a variety of hits and rarities of the Who's rich catalogue from such albums as 'Who's Next', 'Quadrophenia', as well as the band's swan song with Keith Moon; 'Who Are You.'

From the stage clothes to the authentic stagegear + capturing the mannerisms of The Who ,The Wholigans bring back memories of a Who of yesteryear which has to be seen to be believed. With the thrashing windmills of Pete Townshend to the mic swinging of Roger Daltrey and the incredible drumming style of Keith Moon combined with the thunderfingers of John Entwistle. The Wholigans seem to have captured the total package that is The Who.

We loved the flowerpot, the crowd was brilliant, they sang every word.
The stage was small but the audience just gave it all and we just gave it back, I wish there were more fans like you !
