Bootleg Blondie

Established in 2001, this band is the only tribute to have performed with two original founder members of Blondie - legendary drummer Clem Burke and songwriter, bass player and author Gary Valentine. 

Bootleg Blondie had the honour to be thanked on Blondie’s 11th album ‘Pollinator’ and have played at the world famous music venue CBGB in New York City. 

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, covering nearly 5000 miles and performing to over 7000 people!
