Long before the Beatles took the world by storm in 1964 they were serving their musical apprenticeship in the seedy all night clubs of Hamburg Germany and the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool. It was pure rock and roll!

John Lennon has been quoted as saying: "A lot of our best stuff was never recorded" and that "The best music we played was in and around the clubs of Liverpool and Hamburg"

BackBeat is a band that captures the sound and raw energy of the Hamburg/Cavern era.

The band consists of 4 mad Beatle people who like to share with the audience their passion for a largely unheard part of Beatle history (unless you were there of course!).

You’ll hear songs from the Beatles "Live At The BBC" album, such as "Slow Down", "Twenty Flight Rock", "Sweet Little 16", and "I Got A Woman", as well as many numbers from the 1977 album "Live at the Star Club Hamburg" Expect forgotten and unrecorded classics from the Beatles 1960-62 set list like "Sheik of Araby", "Like Dreamers Do", and 'Ain’t She Sweet', Just don't expect any No.1 Beatles songs!

SO, COME ON LET’S "MACH SHAU"!  COS WE’RE GOING TO THE TOPPERMOST!
