The Mersey Beatles returning to King’s Lynn’s Alive Corn Exchange for ‘unmissable hit-packed show’ celebrating 60th anniversary of show at New York’s Shea Stadium
“The world’s favourite” Liverpool-born tribute to The Beatles is heading back to Lynn for a hit-packed show celebrating the Fab Four’s rise to global fame.
The Mersey Beatles have wowed fans around the world for 25 years and they are now bringing their biggest-ever UK Tour to Lynn’s Alive Corn Exchange on Friday.
Sixty years ago – as Beatlemania gripped the world – The Beatles made history by playing the world’s first stadium rock show at New York’s Shea Stadium.
It came in the same year which saw John, Paul, George and Ringo – at the height of their pop powers – releasing the now legendary albums Help! and Rubber Soul.
To celebrate this special 60th anniversary, The Mersey Beatles will deliver an all-new show which celebrates the band's 1965 hits and that famous night at Shea Stadium.
The band, who perform sold-out shows around the world, will then take the audience on a fabulous ride through the psychedelic brilliance of Sgt Pepper, walk down Abbey Road and celebrate the Fab Four’s later works such as Revolution, Get Back and Hey Jude.
Just like the real thing, The Mersey Beatles hail from Liverpool where they were the resident Beatles tribute at the world-famous Cavern Club for a decade – playing more than 600 times at the legendary venue where the Fab Four honed their talents in the 1960s.
Since leaving The Cavern Club, the band – Mark Bloor (John), Steven Howard (Paul), Craig McGown (George) and Brian Ambrose (Ringo) – have toured the world many times over.
The group are no strangers to Lynn, having played a number of sold-out shows at the venue in the last few years.
Looking ahead to the show, Steven said: “We cannot wait to take to the stage again at the Corn Exchange as it is always a really special night there.
“Every year we create an all-new show and this year we are delighted to be celebrating the 60th anniversary of not only Shea Stadium but also the brilliant music created by The Beatles in 1965.
“It’s going to be an incredible show and one we know Beatles’ fans will love.”
The Mersey Beatles' live shows have won legions of fans including John Lennon’s own family and The British Beatles Fan Club who rate them as “the best Beatles tribute band”.
On stage, the band, who this year tour the UK, Ireland, Europe, USA and Australia, exude the inner and outer spirit of the real thing, from the costumes, instruments, Scouse charm and, of course, that “unmistakable era-defining Mersey beat”.
