About the show
Andy Eastwood presents a rock & rollercoaster ride back to the swinging sixties!
Topping the bill are The Upbeat Beatles with their incredibly authentic tribute to the most electrifying band of the decade, Liverpool’s ‘Fab Four’. They will transport us back to the sight, sound and exhilirating thrill of Beatlemania with their rollicking renditions of the legendary band’s greatest hits, like She Loves You, Can’t Buy Me Love, A Hard Day’s Night and Help!
Opening the show will be the superb Annika Rands, a vocalist with warmth and class, who specialises in the music of the sixties stars. Today she will remember Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black and more favourites.
Phil Hoyles provides the laughs with his brilliant portrayal of one of Britain’s best loved entertainers, Tommy Cooper. Phil understudied Jerome Flynn in the West End production Jus’ Like That and he recreates the classic Cooper routines with extraordinary accuracy. His performance is a feztival of fun!
Completing the line-up is Scott Dee as iconic crooner Engelbert Humperdinck, whose huge hits like Please Release Me and The Last Waltz highlight the rich diversity of musical styles that made up the sixties charts.
The show is devised and presented by multi-talented musician Andy Eastwood, who has pleasure in bringing together some of his very favourite artists for a unique afternoon of music and memories, guaranteed to get the feet tapping, smiles glowing, and send you home singing. Book early and bring a party!
Featuring - The Upbeat Beatles
The Upbeat Beatles are second to none - powerhouse vocals, precision harmonies and tight musicianship.
The guys have an easy, happy rapport with any crowd, giving them a reputation to be envied as the best in the business.
There isn’t a band to touch them - 8 bars of “Twist and Shout” and you will know why! No other band can perform this song like the Upbeat Beatles!
The show takes you through the Fab Four’s long and winding road from the early Cavern days through Beatlemania, America, Sergeant Pepper to Abbey Road, with narrative and full multi-media presentation.
If you love the Beatles you’ll love this show, and if you don’t love the Beatles you’ll love this show!
