God Save The Queen - 'We Will Rock You'
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN (Dios Salve a la Reina) from Argentina. One of the absolutely best (if not the very best!) Tribute Band during Beatle Week! And the Liverpool audience!! Magic to stand in the crowd when all sang 'Bohemian Rapsody', 'We are The Champions' and all other songs! Everyone knew every single word! Like standing in the middle of a choir! And the handclapping in 'Radio Ga-Ga' and 'We Will Rock You'! Amazing!
The Kings Of Rhythm
THE KINGS OF RHYTHM were a first class swingband from Liverpool.
Tripper
TRIPPER. A great band. Member Steve McDonald (right) has played at Beatle Week for more than 20 years!

Looser'

Jack - 'Don't Bother Me'
Wonder if we've ever heard GEORGE's first BEATLES song 'Don't Bother Me' at Beatle Week before. But here it was in a beautiful arrangement with Jack's great bongo drum and all.
Will
Frank and Will
Encore! 'Helter Skelter'
