The Bootleg Beatles is back in Manila
It’s been 50 years
since The Beatles set foot in the Philippines and it was such a memorable event
that people still talked about what happened then. Fifty years onward and The
Beatles is hailed as the greatest band of all times.
They were a four
piece band from Liverpool, England and much has been written about the members
of the Beatles since they burst into popular culture in 1962. But all band
comes to an end and since they disbanded, many tribute groups copied their
styles but only the Bootleg Beatles stayed in the scene longer than the
original. And they are coming back to the Philippines for the second time!
Since their inception
in 1980 the band has performed hundreds of gigs across the globe, earning
themselves an amazing reputation along the way. George Martin himself described
the Bootleg Beatles experience as “A terrific show”, whilst the
Mail On Sunday hailed their “Mind- boggling accuracy”.

Neil Harrison (former
John Lennon); Andre Barreau (George Harrison) and David Catlin-Birch (Paul
McCartney) met in 1979 when they were all cast in the hit West-End production,
Beatlemania. When the show finished its run the band, knowing the repertoire
inside out, decided to continue performing it and thus The Bootleg Beatles were
born in 1980, along with the entire tribute genre.
What started as 4 musicians with black
polo necks and a wig has evolved into The Bootleg Beatles’ lauded show which
combines note-perfect renditions of Beatles repertoire, spectacular costume
changes and a visually stunning video backdrop. The Bootleg Beatles faithfully re-create
6 phases of the Beatles meteororic rise from a basement (The cavern in
Liverpool) to a rooftop (The famous Apple concert in 1969) via Shea Stadium,
Sgt Pepper and the Magical mystery tour.
After 31 years portraying John in the
Bootleg Beatles, Neil Harrison announced his intention to retire from
performing in January 2011. Following an intensive audition process, and much
media speculation, in July 2011 the Bootleg Beatles announced Adam Hastings
would don the wigs and glasses in the band.
His debut performances with the Bootleg
Beatles have been met with rave reviews from fans and critics alike and last
July 2014 Andre Barreau retired and after many auditions Stephen Hill was
chosen to take on the role of George Harrison together with Steve White (Paul
McCartney) & Ringo Starr (Gordon Elsmore) Formed from the original cast of
London’s West End hit show ‘Beatlemania’, The Bootleg Beatles have become 'an
institution' in their own right with their note-perfect recreation of hits from
every era of the world’s most famous songbook. Every tiny detail is
meticulously covered from costumes to authentic period instruments; from the
‘Liverpudlian’ banter to their ‘inflection perfect’ vocal mimicry. But it’s not
only their sound that is so authentic; they bear an uncanny resemblance to the
Fab Four. As one reviewer recently said... “It’s not John Paul George and Ringo ... but you simply won’t believe
it”.
There’s never been a
better time to immerse yourself in the magic of the Bootleg Beatles – don’t
miss a show that was described as “Off-the-scale fabulous” by BBC Radio’s Chris
Evans, and “Flawless!” by Mojo Magazine. You’ll love them – Yeah Yeah
Yeah!
The world’s first and
finest tribute band, The Bootleg Beatles, continue to thrill audiences
performing their acclaimed homage to the Fab Four. The tribute band are touring
the Philippines throughout July and will be stopping off in Manila on July 12,
2016 – (venue to be announced), next stop Davao on July 15, 2016 at SMX
Convention Center, & and last stop will be in Cebu on July 16, 2016 at
Waterfront Hotel.
