Leading tribute band Imagine The Beatles get back to Ramsgate's Granville Theatre by public demand on Easter Saturday (April 3).
Bassist Rob Simpson who plays Paul McCartney said: "We had a great time in Ramsgate last year and are really looking forward to coming back. The set went down a storm then, so we are ready to party with the fans once again."
Rob, who is a founder member of the act, is joined on stage by Geoff (John Lennon), James (George Harrison) and Steve (Ringo Starr).
Musically, no detail is overlooked to re-create the true sound and excitement of The Beatles, with every song performed totally live and in its original key.
Quality stage outfits range from the early Cavern days, through to Beatlemania, Sgt Peppers and beyond. Authentic vocals and instruments, including the McCartney Hofner violin bass, Lennon's Rickenbacker, George's Gretsch and Ringo's Ludwig kit, complete the tribute.
The most requested song by a long way is Hey Jude, followed by Penny Lane. But Rob added: "You would never guess the one that really gets the crowd going every time. As soon as the piano intro begins, people go wild - it's Ob-la-di Ob-la-da."
Tickets are £12 and £10 on door, £10 and £9 in advance.
