Essentially Cher

Since her explosive debut in 2019, Trisha's whirlwind journey across the globe, from performing all over Europe and even as far as the USA, is a testament to her astonishing Cher likeness. From her physical resemblance to the iconic contralto voice, she delivers an unparalleled show, solidifying her as a tribute industry leader.

Trisha, backed by her talented 6-piece live band, is now firmly conquering the UK and Ireland, delighting Cher fans everywhere. As she steps onstage in her black leatherjacket, cascading curls, and sequined catsuit, she effortlessly channels America’s pop/rock icon. Trisha's portrayal, from movements to witty banter, is so precise that audiences often mistake her for the real Cher.

Performing Cher's hits from the '60s (I Got You Babe) to the '80s (Turn Back Time, I Found Someone), journeying into the well-known 90's dance tracks (Believe, Strong Enough) and even paying homage to her recent Abba cover album, Dancing Queen, this is a show that Cher-ly leaves you craving more!
