Nidd Hall 25/7/09

Nice to be back at this venue,one of our favourites,although the load in is a bit of a pain(can't win em all! ha!).As usual Another packed crowd awaited us,however this particular evening saw a lot more senior members than normal.We made sure to keep the volume very low and the show contained a lot more of the slower tempo songs.Although the audience were that bit older,they were great,and were dancing at every opportunity, when not dancing they were singing and clapping along and it made for a great atmosphere(age knows no bounderies when it's time to party!!).
We'd like to thank Hazel,who did a great job looking after us and made sure we had everything before and after our performance,thank you! All in all a lovely audience,great gig,a packed dancefloor and a thoroughly good night!
Thanks for the feedback and e-mails,we do appreciate them!

Wallingford Sports Park 18/07/2009


A great show which included The Rapiers and Simon King with his tribute to Freddie Starr!
Simon started the show and was recieved with good humour (his show really is the business) followed by the excellent Rapiers who performed the hits of The Shadows plus other favourites.After what seemed like forever,it was finally our turn on stage! Wearing our new collarless suits,we opened up with 'Please please me' and the crowd went wild,they were really up for a good time,and as the night ebbed away we performed the most noteworthy songs to a packed dancefloor.Fantastic night all round,with a great blend of showmanship to please everyone,we had a fab time ourselves!
I can still here Brian (the DJ and organiser) singing Hey Jude!!!!!!
"Hey Brian,don't call us,we'll call you"(Ha Ha!).

The Cavern,Liverpool 16/07/2009


Another thursday night at the Cavern.Our George couldnt make it due to a cold and so at the last minute Rick(Cavern Beatles) stepped in to save the day, and what a day it turned out to be!The cellar was very humid even for the Cavern's standards and this only helped increase the atmosphere which was electric.As usual a great crowd was in, including a large contingent of Spanish students as we belted out hit after hit.
A BIG thank you to Rick for helping us out and making it a great night.
As one of the audience e-mailed us.
"I saw you in The Cavern last Thursday! It was awesome!”

Well Irene,i couldnt agree more :)

Hard Days Night Hotel,Liverpool. 10/07/09

Nice to be back in Liverpool,and wonderful to be playing at 'The Hard Days Night Hotel'.This was a first for us at this venue, and it`s fab to say the least.I would say this is an absolute MUST for any Beatle fan who hasn't yet visited! The hotel is full of memorabillia and some exclusive pictures of the Beatles hang on the walls and of course their music is played throughout the whole building,all that plus the lavish modern interior make this the best hotel in town!
The suite that we played in was a great place in itself,everywhere you looked there was the Beatles watching over your every move(got to be good tonight boys!)
A great crowd and a really pensive atmosphere made this a cracking night.The dancefloor was packed from the word go with all age groups dancing to their favourites as we ripped out lots of the early rockers and then sank back into the later classics.After a few encores and audience sing alongs,our show was over.Fantastic night!It has to be for me one of the most exciting places i've played,as being a fan it's like Beatle heaven!We'd like to thank Geoff,Robbie and friends for coming,and a BIG shout out to Les,Marion and Susie for doing a sterling job organising it all,and making us feel very welcome.
Thanks!

The Ship Tavern,Plymouth 04/07/09


This particular trip was,it has to be said 'horrendous'! We set out for the venue in good time,until we ran into a road closure on the M5 following an accident.We were stood still and time was passing by.We notified the venue of our situation and said we`d do our best!After many a 'B' road was taken,several updates to the venue and some not too clean language within the van,we finally made it.The time was 9:40 pm!We were tired,we were thirsty,we were on stage thirty minutes later and belting out a rather long overdue set of hits to the expectant crowd.As a thank you to the audience,who had patiently waited for us to arrive,we played for twice as long as the scheduled slot,and we had a fantastic response,thank you!Excellent show,just a pity about the travel!
P.S. Received this comment about the gig
"....was a shinier,happier place after your gig last night! well worth the wait and definately the Best Beatles Tribute I've ever seen in my life.
Thank you!"
Kit Frusciante
THANK YOU KIT!!!!!!!!!
