The Southern Beatles

The Southern Beatles have been playing together for over twenty years and are one of the UK's leading live Beatles tribute bands and duos.

Their repertoire takes in all of the great up-tempo Rock'n'Roll tunes from the first Beatles album, Please Please Me, right up to the last famous live performance of Get Back on the rooftop of Apple's Saville Row studios. For outdoor concerts and festivals, they have also been known to get everyone singing along to slower favourites such as Hey Jude and All You Need Is Love.

With their close harmony singing and authentic replica Beatles guitars, amps and drums, The Southern Beatles capture the iconic sound of the Fab Four. People in the audience have often said that if they close their eyes, it's easy to imagine you're listening to the real thing!

The Southern Beatles can perform either as a four-piece band or as a duo.

In addition to playing and singing in the best traditions of 1960's beat music, The Southern Beatles dress in full costume and provide an excellent sound and light show with typical Beatle-esque wit and enthusiasm.

As well as hearing all the best Beatles compositions, you can also rock the night away to some of the classic Rock'n'Roll standards which The Beatles used to perform, such as Roll Over Beethoven, Money and Dizzy Miss Lizzy.

All four members grew up in and around the Harrow area of North-West London. They originally started playing gigs around this area, but as they have moved further afield, so has their fanbase.

Line-up

The members of the band are Roy on bass guitar (the Paul McCartney of the band), Scott on rhythm guitar (the John Lennon of the band), Andy on lead guitar (the George Harrison of the band) and Tim on drums (the Ringo Starr of the band).

Wow, these guys are great. If you shut your eyes they sounded just like the real thing. And I loved the witty banter in between each song. Really good all-round entertainment!
