Escape to the time of Beatlemania! The Pretend Beatles are a top UK tribute band to The Fab Four, and one of a tiny handful playing the theatre circuit. Featuring professional musicians who have performed all over the world, the band prides itself in truly capturing The Beatles’ sound. Playing authentic instruments and wearing Beatles style costumes from all eras, the Beatles tribute band recreates the musical and vocal parts of the original records, along with the spirit of The Beatles who were such a fun band to watch during their live era.
