About
Die einzige Hot Chocolate Tribute-Band, spielt die Hits aus den erfolgreichen Dekaden von Hot Chocolate.
Der beim Publikum so beliebte Soul-Disco-Sound nimmt den Zuhörer mit auf eine Zeitreise in die 70er und 80er Jahre.
Yvonne Catterfeld: „Regi ist der beste Sänger den ich mir für diese Band vorstellen kann.“
A voice like Errol Brown
Regi Jennings, born in the USA, embodies the role of the great role model Errol Brown. His voice can hardly be distinguished from the original and his stage presence is no coincidence.
Regi at the Starlight Express
In the role of “Papa” Regi was the first cast on the stage of the successful musical Starlight Express in Bochum for many years. His incomparable style as a frontman and singer captivates the audience and you feel transported back to the time of disco, glammer, soul & funk. How does he do that? When you ask him he just says modestly: “I’m just having fun”.
About Hot Chocolate
The singer Errol Brown, who died in 2015, was one of the founding members of Hot Chocolate. In the 70s, Hot Chocolate was instrumental in the development of the disco sound. During this time they were able to achieve chart placements every year along with Status Quo, Diana Ross and Elvis Presley.
They played at the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Di. In 1985, founding member Errol Brown left the band and continued his career as a solo singer and producer. He also worked with Dieter Bohlen.
In 1987 there was a remix album with their greatest hits.
In 2003, Errol Brown was honored by the Queen of England with the MBE (Order of the British Empire) for his life's work.
The band still tours the world today with three original members.
Nun sind sie nicht mehr alleine. Denn jetzt gibt es Cool Chocolate. Die Tribute-Band aus Remscheid, Deutschland.
