TAKE ‘A Ticket to Ride’ as tribute band The Upbeat Beatles perform at The Lights on Friday.

This fab four will take the audience on a journey through the music of The Beatles from the early days of rock ’n’ roll to the later years when they became the most creative and inventive band the world had ever seen.

The show includes film of the early days from 1957 and that famous show at Shea Stadium.

This group have done their homework and bring to life the music and showmanship of The Beatles, with spot-on mannerisms and vocals.

Band members Roger Channing (John), Simon Blight (Paul), Colin Yates (George) and James Jordan (Ringo) provide details of the defining moments of each year with plenty of interesting facts along the way.

These fine musicians deliver all the familiar harmonies through songs like Nowhere Man and Don’t Let Me Down, together with moving renditions of Yesterday and Let It Be, a great version of Here Comes The Sun and a fine performance of Blackbird.

It features plenty of the “fun” songs too, including When I’m 64 and Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da through to the Abbey Road years when the band had stopped touring because their creations were too complex to perform on stage.
