THE OTHER BEATLES (1993 - 2005)

1993 saw the launch of what became the UK's finest Beatles tribute band. Little did the members know when they set out to emulate their heroes, the impact they would make and the success they would achieve.

1994 saw the band (then named Beatlemania) quickly establish themselves as a major act on the cabaret circuit, with TV appearances on Central TV and a number of appearances on BBC Radio. During this time the band were outright winners on a major music competition on the hugely popular Fox FM, which covers the band's local county of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Out of over 250 bands, they were clear winners of the 'New Music In May' competition by getting more than double the votes of their nearest rivals.

In the early part of 1995, the band were selected to appear in the very successful 'Ultimate Tribute Show', which toured major UK theatres during the summer of 1995. The band went on to tour in Germany and Russia, including an amazing night in the 10,000 capacity St. Petersburg SKK, as well as keeping up with the increasing number of appearances at Universities, cabaret clubs and corporate functions.

1996 started with a bang with further TV appearances on Sky TV, Meridian TV, Central TV and BBC Radio. The band's credibility was firmly established following their show at The Forum in Kentish Town, London.

The band were given a double page spread with photographs in April 20th's NME, and much to their surprise a visit backstage from self confessed Beatles 'nut' Noel Gallagher from Oasis, who gave the band his seal of approval.

The Autumn of 1996 saw the band embark on their own theatre show entitled 'The Magical History Tour'. This show depicted the history of The Beatles from 1962-1970 linked together by footage of the 'Fab Four' and narrated by top 60's DJ - 'Diddy' David Hammilton.

1997 saw the band continue touring the UK with the show as well as a short European tour visiting venues in Germany, Holland and Austria.

The band's popularity was by now firmly established, with an ever increasing fan base. Their fan club members come from far and wide. Their status as the UK's most accurate Beatles show was confirmed with the appearance at the Shepherds Bush Empire in the show Tribute '98 which featured the cream of the world's tribute acts such as The Counterfeit Stones and The Australian Pink Floyd Show.

January 1999 saw The 'other' Beatles re-create the now famous Rooftop Concert for Central TV to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Beatles last ever public appearance. The band then started their first leg of the new concert show, which commenced in the UK, then onto Northern Ireland, Eire and Europe. During the concert in Belfast's Waterfront Hall, the band were featured on BBC Choice's programme The 11th Hour.

The new millennium saw the birth of The 'other' Beatles highly acclaimed "Keeping the Legend Alive!" theatre tour, which played to huge audiences all over the country. This show toured extensively throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe over the next five years which resulted in 'Eurostar' selecting the band for their advertising campaign in France.

On November 11th 2005, The Other Beatles played their last public performance, switching on the Christmas lights in Aylesbury town center.

Unlike many other 'tribute' bands, The 'other' Beatles thought that with the members in or approaching their 30s, it was a respectful age to hang up the Beatle boots forever.

Without doubt, The 'other' Beatles were one of the finest Beatle bands ever to grace a stage.
