The Bootleg Beatles & A.T Harvey

The Guildhall
Saturday 6 September 2008
8:30 pm
All tickets £24

The "World's Greatest Tribute Band" tell the story of the Beatles from the early days through the glory days to "Sergeant Pepper". Their impersonations are uncanny and by the end audiences are reacting as to the real thing.

Having seen the Bootlegs at Glastonbury, Oasis asked them to be support for their record-breaking 1995 Earl’s Court shows - culminating with the bands sharing the stage for ’I Am The Walrus’ and later for their massive outdoor events in Loch Lomond, Cork and Knebworth.

These gigs and an appearance on the NME cover, heralded the Bootleg Beatles breakthrough to a new contemporary audience

Since becoming regulars on the festival circuit, The Bootlegs have played Wembley with Rod Stewart and Elton John, and filled Tokyo’s Budokan Hall on their own.

A scoop for St Ives, usually at much bigger halls

Andrew Trenear Harvey first picked up a guitar at the age of thirteen - by fifteeen he was on the road, armed with his guitar and entertaining people on the streets. Along with the occasional bar gig this was to be his vocation up to the present day - taking him all over Europe in the process.

He has also been playing the banjo for the past seven years - finding it areal favourite with his public. Andrew’s many influences include notably Bob Dylan but also The Beatles, The Kinks, Elvis Presley, Donovan and other musicians from the 1960’s very much swayed by his fathers taste in music when he was growing up.
