The Cavern Beatles

The Cavern Beatles play the Jim Marshall Auditorium on Thursday 26 November, as part of the IF: Milton Keynes International Festival. They're one of the country's longest-running Beatles tribute acts, fully endorsed and licensed by the Cavern Club in Liverpool, and they've built their name on getting the vocals close to the real thing. That particular resemblance comes from the cast members' own upbringing in Liverpool, so the Scouse accent is in the blood rather than something they've had to work at.

The show itself focuses on the Beatles' touring years from 1963 to 1966. By narrowing the scope to those four years, they give each one more room than they would in a set covering the band's entire career, and the setlist mixes album tracks and B-sides with the hits. They're also adding the current single, 'Now And Then', to the mix.

There's a bit of history behind the name, too. On 9 February 1961, the Beatles played the first of their 292 appearances at the Cavern Club, the venue that gave the band its name and its legend. The Cavern Beatles carry that connection forward, and this particular tour is produced by The Stables as part of the IF: Milton Keynes International Festival.

Doors open at 7:30pm and the show starts at 8:00pm. Tickets are £27.50, which includes the booking fee.
