The Beatcombers have been around since the early 1990’s in
one form or another.
They are, were, and always will be, a “vintage” rock ‘n’ roll group based on the
energy of the Beatles and the Liverpool sound of the 1960s. Their ethos is
not to
go down the look-a-like route but simply to present the music. The twist,
however,
is to play the obscure, the less well known and the rarest of the rare. This
little known,
yet brilliant material, written and covered by British beat bands of the 1960s,
was
dusted down and introduced to a modern day audience by The Beatcombers. The
formula
was a winner
with the band gaining a cult following as far a field as the US and
Japan.
Fans recognised that this was not a simple “tribute” band due in no small part
to their
heroic appearances at selected Liverpool Beatle conventions of the 1990’s where
they
performed
at legendary venues such as The Cavern Club, The Blue Angel and, significantly,
the Mathew Street Festival, gaining a reputation as a “must see” act. The Beatcombers
make a
much anticipated and
welcome return to this year’s Liverpool Beatles convention
and they can’t wait
to present their new
material, set to be recorded for a brand new
album later this year. The Beatcombers signed to Applebeat Records in 2005 and
signalled a return to their musical roots with the release of the superb "All
Good Things"
album in 2006. This coupled with the recent digital release of their legendary
debut
album “Eight Arms To Hold You” , adds up to only one thing:
The Beatcombers are back!
Rockin!
