Bootleg Blondie

BOOTLEG BLONDIE The world’s No.1 official Debbie Harry & Blondie tribute band.

Established in 2001, this band is the only tribute to have performed with two original founder members of Blondie — legendary drummer Clem Burke (who is sadly no longer with us) and songwriter, bass player and prolific author Gary Valentine. BB had the honour to be thanked on Blondie’s 11th album Pollinator in 2017 and played the world‑famous CBGB in New York City in 2006.

In 2019, to celebrate 40 years since the release of Blondie’s iconic album Parallel Lines, Bootleg Blondie played two UK tours with Clem Burke under the band name CBBB (Clem Burke & Bootleg Blondie). Both tours were a whirlwind of sell‑out shows, radio and press interviews, and glowing reviews — driving nearly 5,000 miles and performing to over 7,000 people.
