As a long-time Parrots fan, (especially “Chappy”), I frequented The Cavern Club 1992-1996 and then visited Abbey Road on occasion until 2001. Glad to hear The Parrots and the Silver Beats are going strong — Sorry to learn that Amigo left The Parrots… I still recognize one member in each group.

By the way, The Broadwoods — who perform at Mr Moonlight in Hong Kong — is another Japanese Beatles tribute band worth a listen.

Guy, you havent been to the Cavern Club! Actually, I went to Abbey Road many times before going there too, but it was a good time, slightly different atmosphere, and nice to have another option. I suggest you check it out!

Didnt know about Amigo either, looking forward to seeing the new guy.

Bone, I hate to say it, but despite something like 40 visits to Abbey Road over the last 7 years I have never once been to the Cavern. Too happy with the Parrots! I really ought to get down there.

BTW, did you know Amigo had left the Parrots about 1 month ago? I saw the new guy on his third gig - not too bad, but lacking Amigo’s deft touch. I am hoping he’ll improve on the job.

Guy, actually I agree, that on a set few songs where he is solo on the keyboard such as those two, he is very good. But he just lacks the mojo, wow-factor, and cohesion with the rest of the band to make them something better. Which do you prefer of the two bars?

Are you kidding?!! Gordon, who plays Paul at Abbey Road, is sensational. His Hey Jude and Let it be are unimpeachable.

That reminds me of that 70 year old geezer who got arrested for singing Beatles songs to the customers in his snakku.

sounds great - I’m keen to check it out / maybe even both. Are you allowed in if you are less than 55 years old? Back in the day I used to hang out in a pretty cool 70s bar in Akasaka. I wonder if it is still around…

What sort of food do they have at Cavern club?

The two remaining Beatles, Paul and Ringo were interviewed on Larry King Live yesterday. Larry seemed to know nothing about them, and even called Ringo George! Ringo plays the drums. The Walrus was Paul. And George is no longer with us. Nice one Larry.
