In the 50 years since The Beatles first reached Number 1 in the UK charts, their music has never been eclipsed, their image has never faded, and they continue to attract new fans with each coming generation.

For over thirty of those years, The Bootleg Beatles’ note-perfect performances of these ‘classic’ pop songs have been met with Beatle-like scenes of hysteria by audiences around the globe, and have won over even the most hardened sceptics with their stunning recreation of The Beatles’ sound and look.
