UK Tour: December 2017

The Bootleg Beatles are delighted to announce their December 2017 tour of the UK – the band along with their renowned string and brass ensemble will visit fifteen cities, tickets are available now from www.ticketmaster.co.uk. Since their inception in 1980 the band have performed hundreds of gigs across the globe, earning themselves an amazing reputation along the way. The late George Martin himself described the Bootleg Beatles experience as “A terrific show”, whilst the Mail On Sunday hailed their “Mind-boggling accuracy”.

This year the band performed a run of special ‘Sgt. Pepper’ 50^th anniversary shows – including one at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’ – which have been raved about by the critics.  These December dates will feature and extended Sgt. Pepper section to further celebrate the iconic album.  This year, The Times gave the band a 5 Star live review, adding, “Even The Beatles would have struggled to recreate Sgt Pepper this well in live performance”.  The Bootleg Beatles also performed twice at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, including a Sgt. Pepper show on the iconic Pyramid Stage!

Formed from the original cast of London’s West End hit show ‘Beatlemania’, The Bootleg Beatles have become ‘an institution’ in their own right with their note-perfect recreation of hits from every era of the world’s most famous songbook. Every tiny detail is meticulously covered from costumes to authentic period instruments; from the ‘Liverpudlian’ banter to their ‘inflection perfect’ vocal mimicry. But it’s not only their sound that is so authentic; they bear an uncanny resemblance to the Fab Four. As one reviewer recently said… “It’s not John Paul George and Ringo … but you simply won’t believe it”.
