The Beatles Band perform the whole of Revolver ,, one of the Fab Four's most popular albums ,, at the Torrington on Sunday. LEIGH COLLINS speaks to them

The excitement of the Fab Four both in their Cavern-era days and the live world premier of 'Revolver' come to The Torrington in a special re-arranged show on Sunday.

Led by the brilliant Paul Maroney as John Lennon, The Beatles Band's opening set will consist of the whole of the album that the Beatles themselves never attempted live.

'Most bands either get the look right or the sound right, but not both,' said Paul.

'We get the look and the sound right. From the moment they the audience come into the venue to the moment they leave, we transport them back in time. We even do the scouse accents on stage,' he added in his best cockney.

'Personally, we enjoy playing the obscure stuff, like tracks from the White album, but your average punter wants to hear the hits, so we'll play them,' he said.

The second half of the show sees the band leap back in time to the silver-suit era of I Saw Her Standing There; She Loves You; I Wanna Hold Your Hand and, of course, the show-stopping Twist & Shout.

Formerly the Paperback Beatles, The Beatles Band was born when the original line-up mirrored real life when they parted company with their own Paul McCartney.

Having regrouped, the band returned in a blaze of glory with a sell-out show at the Albert Hall in London last summer.

The Beatles Band also played the Beatles Convention at the Liverpool Cavern.

The event, which was covered by BBC1 TV, led to critical acclaim, and thousands of new fans.

Brian Epstein's former No 2 and Beatles general manager, Alistair Taylor, said the band were 'just like the Fab 4 in the old days'.

Three subsequent tours of Europe brought the band, and Paul Maroney as Lennon in particular, to the attention of Ozit records who approached the Lennon lookalike and soundalike to record a solo album.

As with their world premiere of Revolver, The Beatles Band occasionally stretch their artistic licence to include live renditions of songs The Beatles themselves never played live. So when Mahoney as Lennon recently shouted to the audience: 'Here's one from the rooftop', you have to think twice before realising that some of the songs thrillingly recreated from that Let It Be rooftop session, were only actually played in public once.

The band aims to do the same with Revolver, barely pausing for breath as they play it straight through.

With this new twist on the tribute band phenomenon plus the bonus of the early years' set, The Beatles band offer a unique show that is a must for all Fab 4 fans.

The Beatles Band play The Backdoor Club at The Torrington, North Finchley, on Sunday. Doors 8.30pm £7 admission. For bookings call Pete Feenstra 0208 560 6252.
