With a stable line up for almost two decades, it is not surprising that Cold Flame have an enviable reputation across the country as a quality live act.

Today the band are widely acclaimed as the premier Jethro Tull tribute band in the UK.

In recent years, the band have consolidated their reputation with tours around the country as well as appearing at many music festivals and concert halls. The band have also been equally at home in the more intimate atmosphere of the many regional blues clubs and smaller venues still promoting quality live music. Cold Flame have been featured on Sky and terrestrial T.V. music specials and performed with members of the famous River Dance troupe. The band also continues to be involved in occasional radio interview and live session broadcasts.
