We Are The Champions they roared, and so were The Bohemians after an exhausting two-and-a-half-hour stint recalling the genius of their champion Freddie Mercury.

Good enough that he was to partner opera diva Montserrat Caballe.

He went further, composing and performing a multitude of thrilling numbers.

More than 30 were listed in the evening’s programme.

All four performers in this show expertly relived their idols: Rob Comber as Freddie Mercury, Christopher Gregory as Brian May, Kevin Goodwin as John Deacon and Wayne Bourne as Roger Taylor.

Starting with lesser-known early numbers, the tension rose steadily as the group’s leader pranced and mesmerised the proceedings.

Dazzling lights and deafening sounds indeed Rock Us.

Comber’s terrific voice was matched by his exceptionally stylish piano playing, alongside Gregory’s wizardry on guitar, Bourne’s mania on drums and Goodwin’s endless patience.

Friends were indeed Friends, Radio was Gaga, and Bohemia Rhapsodic.
