It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and founding member, Andre Barreau.
Andre co-founded the band with Neil Harrison in 1980 and played the role of ‘George’ until 2017.
Ladies and gentlemen, after months of searching we have found our Lennon, meet Tyson Kelly. We thank Adam Hastings for all his work over the years with the group and wish him the best. Be sure to catch us at a show soon!
Thanks to everyone who came to see our shows over the last few months ! This evening is the last show of this run of dates - we will back in the UK in December - hope to see you then !

Well the end of another tour! Thanks to all who came and supported us despite the covid uncertainty. A huge thank you to our production team who spent over 2 weeks in a covid secure bubble setting up our shows every day! Merry Xmas everyone!
It's
#WorldBeatlesDay
! So named because on the 25th June 1967 the Fab Four performed All You Need Is Love live on the BBC Our World programme. So, today we celebrate everything Beatles (we know for many of you, this will be no different from any other day!)
#GlobalBeatlesDay
Good Afternoon Beatle People! How is everyone today?
We're trying to name the Beatles songs illustrated in this picture - what can you see? (30 in total to spot!)

We were digging through our archives and came across this poster from The Hillsborough Justice Concert on the 10th May 1997 - 23 years ago today. An incredible line-up and a very emotional day at Anfield stadium.

The future of live music post-lockdown is looking very uncertain, so today we urge the government to protect the future of the industry, by supporting the venues, festivals, and workforce without whom gigging would not be possible!

In view of the unfolding coronavirus situation, and government advice, we have taken the decision to postpone the forthcoming Spring tour by The Bootleg Beatles. All of these dates will be rescheduled and tickets will remain valid; replacement dates will be announced soon.
This glorious picture shows that modern colourisation is getting better and better. Thought to have been taken on the first night at the Indra Club in Hamburg 17 Aug 1960.
A sneak peek backstage with the Bootleg Beatles, just minutes before stage time at the Corn Exchange, Cambridge last year. Can't wait until we can get back out there and entertain you all!

We are monitoring the current situation very carefully, and are guided by the recommendations from the Government and Public Health England. We continue to prepare for our tour starting Wednesday. Our goal remains the same :that everyone has a great, safe time at our shows.
Lennon on the Ed Sullivan show, Feb '64.
John Lennon would have been 80 today. A true original in every department - in music, in word and in thought. You made a contribution alright, Johnny Rhythm. Peace, Love and Rock and Roll Music.
Lots of you have been asking about this and so we're very excited to announce that the recording of our Live Stream concert will be available to watch on demand as of this Friday at 10:00am (GMT)!

Original BB John, Neil Harrison has often told the tale of carol singing outside McCartney's Dad's house in 1968. To say Neil's mind was blown when he saw Linda's shot at her retrospective show at
@NML_Muse
was an understatement - there he is standing right behind Macca himself!
We are honoured to be included in 'Oasis Knebworth' that showcases the 'Two Nights that Will Live Forever'. We were lucky enough to support Oasis at Knebworth in August 1996. We're feeling the Bootleg Beatles Love ✌️🖤
