The Cavern Club in Liverpool, England and Comiskey Park in Chicago. The other group of course is the Beatles. They
have appeared on NBC, WGN, Fox, and ESPN. British Export features vintage suits and instruments reminiscent of
the Beatles performances of the 60’s including an exciting Sgt. Pepper set. All songs are performed duplicating
the sound of the original recordings of The Fab 4. Help us celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the British Invasion! |
