The Cavern Beatles
Friday 11th June
ON SALE
ADULT: £17.00
Performance starts at 7.30pm
Forty years on and the music of The Beatles remains as fresh and uplifting as it was back in the “swinging sixties”. The classic songs that have now inspired and influenced generations are performed with passion and reverence by The Cavern Beatles.
Drawing on an extensive repertoire of hits and album tracks, the band perform totally live, and produce a fully authentic representation of the music with careful attention to detail.
The Cavern Beatles are all accomplished musicians, but it is their vocal abilities that have most impressed critics of the group over the years. They are all born and brought up in Liverpool, and this gives them their seemingly effortless accuracy in their interpretation of the Fab Four’s catalogue.
