THE BEATELS – the internationally acclaimed tribute to The Beatles
The Beatles have remained one of the most influential and popular groups in rock and roll history, and for over 14 years, THE BEATELS have been Australia’s tribute group of choice for audiences who love The Beatles.
Featuring Bruce Coble as John, Steven Shipley as Paul, Marcus Phelan as George and Neil Rankin as Ringo, THE BEATELS bring alive the music and the spirit of a live Beatles concert. Using a full collection of authentic Beatle instruments and costumes, their breathtaking performance will leave you amazed.
Around Australia, in public shows as well as large special events, THE BEATELS have been thrilling audiences with their detailed and authentic recreation of the music of The Beatles. The look, the sound, the voices, the playing, the guitars, the attention to detail - they have it all and more!
But THE BEATELS are not only one of Australia’s top tribute acts – they are also an internet phenomenon.
Over 750,000 people have watched videos of the band playing live on YouTube, whether it be performing The Beatles hit songs in football stadiums in Vietnam, or rare album tracks for the fans that no other band in the world has attempted, and Beatles fans around the world can’t get enough!
They have also made a name for themselves with Beatle fans, for their numerous performances of entire Beatle albums. They have performed the entire of Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver & Sgt Peppers’ Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album, Abbey Road & Let It Be along with theatrical tributes to John Lennon & George Harrison.
Their brilliant rendition of The Beatles has brought them acclaim, not only at home in Australia, but around the world as well - even in The Cavern Club in Liverpool England, where it all began for The Beatles in the early 1960’s. Their performance there earned them a full page photo and article in the Liverpool Echo when they toured there in 2004.
Their live shows generally feature over 2 hours of Beatles hits, from the very early days of Beatlemania, through the psychedelic era, right up to the end of their career with Abbey Road & Let It Be. They play all the hits, as well as a selection of album tracks for the fans.
