The BEATLES act
by Mahes Perera
Music lovers in Sri Lanka
welcome The Fab Beatles to our paradise isle and say thank you for
keeping alive the Beatlesmania that took the world by storm when John,
Paul, George and Ringo upset many a global hit chart with their songs in
the 60s.
 The Sri Lanka Exhibition and Convention Centre will echo the
unforgettable airs of the Beatles’ hits when The Fab Beatles rekindle
the songs in a fantastic show on September 18. Recognised as UK’s No. 1
Beatles Tribute Band, The Fab Beatles will keep the audience young and
old dancing and singing and commenting how true to the original Beatles
they are.
Any wonder then that celebrity fans have endorsed their performances
thus:
Sarah Ferguson - absolutely brilliant!
Dhani Harrison - wonderful!
Michael Parkinson - The Fab Beatles are truly Fab - and I know ‘cos I
saw the other lot.
Jonathan Ross - I think The Fab Beatles were excellent and definitely
the best.
Nina Myskow - I shut my eyes and it was them
Terry Wogan - A Fab act!
Stan Parkes, John Lennon’s cousin - ‘I must say, that their
presentation of the Beatles is excellent. In fact I could quite believe
that I was actually listening to the Beatles. I’m sending a copy to
Julia, John’s sister.’
Unlike other acts, The Fab Beatles use no programming during their
shows. Every instrument is played completely ‘live’ by The Fab Beatles
who ensure pure and accurate re-creation. The foursome are Kev Day as
John Lennon - guitar, piano, harmonica/vocals, Andy Southard as Paul
McCartney - bass/vocals, Steve Hemming as George Harrison -
guitar/vocals and Pete Isbell as Ringo Starr - drums/vocals.
 More comments from fans of The Fab Beatles:
“This was Beatles music played professionally and not in a ‘karaoke’
fashion but as a true tribute to the Beatles...”
“... all your inflections, musical playing, harmonies etc. were so
close as I think it is possible to get to the original...”
“... my parents and others of that generation said if they closed
their eyes, it was as if it really were The Beatles..”
“... a huge heartful thank you to the Fab team for providing such
excellent entertainment. Totally authentic even the fellow musicians in
the audience were impressed with their attention to detail and their
sound...” |
