This week in 1963 The Beatles released "Please Please Me", which would be their first number one single in the UK. Written mostly by John Lennon, the song made it to the top in just three weeks and would sell over 1.5 million copies world wide. However, the record wouldn’t appear on the US charts for another year.
This week in 2010, a mere 47 years later, Sgt Peppers Only Dartboard band honor the Fab Four with a show at Kyps. But first we welcome the ever-wonderful Rat Race this Friday.
There are very few bands that can instantly get the room moving in the way Rat Race do. They Race through every conceivable ska hit, played with the energy and finesse that only comes from a band who truly love the music they are playing. This 9 Piece band comes complete with an incredible horn section and I can assure you that they are truly worth a listen.
The Beatles revolutionized pop music, taking the band formation that had been around for generations and turning it into something no one had ever seen. Songs that were instantly recognizable and most importantly easy to sing and dance to were at the core of the fours success. It is easy to forget just how many great songs The Beatles had but with 27 Studio albums and 55 singles there is a wide amount for Sgt Peppers Only Dartboard Band to choose from this Saturday night.
Sgt Peppers Only Dartboard Band have been paying homage to the Fab Four since the early 90’s and are known as the most entertaining Beatles tribute in the UK. Amongst their successes the band have packed out Liverpool’s Cavern Club on several visits to the legendary venue and have also had the honor of performing at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool on the 20th anniversary of John Lennon’s death in December 2000 with a choir and string section from Liverpool University.
If you are quick we are releasing 20 pairs of tickets for both shows, check below for the links. There are also a few pre-release freebees for Stipe.
Save the date! We are working alongside Liz Lean PR and Beales Gourmet to create an exciting evening of fine food, good company and swinging music – a first for Mr. Kyps! To be held on Thursday March 4th 2010, we will be hosting ‘An Audience with the Rat Pack’, Bournemouth’s very own 9 piece swing band. Tables of 8 will be available on this exclusive evening.
More information is on its way but we wanted you to be the first to know and to put the date in your diaries due to a high level of interest already.
Please email bert@mrkyps.net to declare your interest in the meantime.
We look forward to seeing you here soon.
