The FabFour feature classic songs on authentic instruments including including Gretsch Tennessean and Gibson Casino guitars as well as a Rickenbacker 12 String.
ACT III: SGT. PEPPER The Beatles colourful psychedelic era comes to life. The FabFour now regularly include this colourful set of songs (and uniforms!) in their already excellent and polished shows. This set includes music from 1965-1967, a time when the Beatles stopped touring and began experimenting in the studio. Hear, live (without the aid of backing tapes or sequencers), such memorable and groundbreaking tunes from this productive period of the Beatles as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With A Little Help From My Friends and Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds. "A splendid time is guaranteed for all.”
ACT IV: AND IN THE END... In this final act of the show, the FabFour cover material from the "Apple" studio years of 1968 to 1970. Songs performed are taken from the last three albums released by the Beatles before their break-up. The band adopts the "hippie-era" look the Beatles stylized including Lennon "Granny" glasses and long-haired wigs.
Instrumentation for this set includes instantly recognizable Epiphone, Fender and Gibson guitars and an electric keyboards to help round out the now familiar sound the Beatles made famous.
