After going to see 300, Gwyther managed to persuade me to come and sit in on a gig by The Beetles One , a tribute band to the fab four. This isn’t my usual Saturday night, but the group are managed by Matt’s best mate from home and after being told that they are really quite good, I decided to stay and watch.

The gig was at the Roadhouse in Stirchley (a place I can’t say I’ve ever visited before) and the clientèle were very much of an age that lived for seventies metal. I couldn’t help but feel I was on the set of Spinal Tap, or backstage at a Black Sabbath gig. Anyway, the characters about made for a great evening.

Kirby and his band all seem up for a laugh and it made for entertaining viewing from rehearsal right through until I left. I was really impressed how good they were, so they are now my personal recommendation if you’re looking for a Beatles tribute band.

What’s more, any night that includes dancing midgets is a good night in my book.
