Review Centre: Beatles Tribute Bands

"We hired Jon to perform at our 16 y/o son’s birthday party. Our son is a big Beatles fan. Jon knocked it out of the park! He was a hit with our guests of all ages. My son was on Cloud Nine as Jon played a wide range of his favorite Beatles songs. We very much enjoyed watching and listening to him sing and we plan on coming to see him wherever he’s playing in the future! - Ron & Carrie W., Avondale PA"

"I was first made aware of Ian Thompson about 6 years ago when he joined a musical trio I was part of, as a vocalist and guitarist. I was immediately struck by Ian’s voice; with perfect pitch and tone he was able to tackle any type of song we covered, with impressive results. Our group eventually became a designated Beatles cover band. Ian was arguably the biggest asset we had, as having grown up on the music his style and voice suited the material perfectly. It was about three years into my friendship with Ian before I first heard his original music. I chanced upon it whilst listening to Manx Radio, and was absolutely blown away come the end of the track, when the presenter announced who it was by. It was a far edgier effort than I would have expected from the man who I had come accustomed to playing ‘safe’ pub rock/pop covers with. It led me to seek out Ian’s back catalogue, which having listened to voraciously confirmed my suspicion that he is a serious talent. In an Island full of musical talent Ian stands up there with the best of them as his skill for songwriting is supported by his own abilities."

" Rock and Roll Jukebox played at the IWA Festival of Water in Worcester over the August Bank Holiday. They entertained boaters and campers on the Saturday evening with some great 50s and 60s music. As most of us were of a certain age, it was just what we wanted to hear. One man commented that the lead guitarist played the difficult solo in Rock around the Clock exactly as the record. Thanks very much guys you made a good night even better."

"Ian’s single aims to give a lift to anyone struggling Singer-songwriter Ian Thompson has released a new single ‘Starting Today’, which he hopes will provide ‘a lift’ for those struggling with their mental health or addiction. It’s available now on all digital platforms. Ian said: ‘It’s been on my mind a lot recently, as many people I know are suffering with mental health and addictions. There have been some tragic cases on the island, and I just wanted to write this song with the message that it doesn’t have to be like this, there is always a way out and every day is a new day.’ Born in Liverpool, Ian moved to the island 13 years ago, after meeting his now wife during a trip to the island when he visited some friends. When he moved, he decided to become a full-time musician, and frequently gigs in venues across the island, as both a solo artist, and with a band. He added: ‘I have worked in telesales, taxis, music shops, done office work, you just do what you can to get by, but the one dominant thing in my life that I have always done is my music and playing in bands.’ Ian has been writing music for years, and one of his songs ‘You’re my Liverpool’ has been added to Liverpool Football Club’s playlist. He explained his process of writing music. ‘I usually come up with a tune first, if I like the tune, then I come up with lyrics to go with it,’ he said. The words usually just fly out of me. I have never been short of things to say, and I think the tune dictates what the words are going to say.’ As with much of his music, Ian’s latest single was recorded at Ballagroove Studio, run by Gyp Buggane. Featured artists on the track include saxophonist Sammy J and piano was played by Ian Wright. Ian has more songs in the pipeline, and on top of his gigs and song-writing, he is looking to build his own recording studio with the help of Gyp."

"My wife and I were looking for a 50's rock and roll band for our wedding and after a lot of scouting around and searching around we finally came across these guys. What can I say, they were absolutely amazing! From the moment we booked them, their communication was outstanding and they were superb for sending over all the necessary documents that the venue required to ensure a smooth and hassle free night. To top it off they absolutely blew us away live, the dance floor was full from the moment they kicked in and stayed that way until they played their last number. The only complaint was that everyone's feet hurt like hell the next morning from all the dancing. Thank you so much for absolutely making our 50's wedding dream come true. It wouldn't have been the same without you. If you're reading this testimonial, you absolutely have to hire this band if you want to party all night long. Brilliant"

"John and George brought the Beatles to our Corporate Christmas party in Irving Texas. All were reminiscing the great music, which was spot-on! And these guys are from Liverpool! "

"Hi Mark Massive thank you to you and the band once again! Jerry absolutely loved it as did we all! We were hoping it would be special for him and it truly was, the smile on his face when he first came out and when he was able to be the 5th Beatle with his guitar was a dream come true for him and the rest of his team! Once again thank you!!"
