Within minutes of this show starting, you'll know exactly why 'beat' groups dominated the pop music scene in the 1960s.

In those days, hundreds of groups performed at beat clubs throughout the UK, and at the very heart of these was The Cavern in Liverpool – a cellar venue that quickly became known as 'The Most Famous Club in the World'.

The Fabs re-create those exciting times with a recipe of great songs, musical showmanship, excellent harmonies, and audience participation. In a fantastic night to remember, you'll hear songs made famous by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Searchers, The Merseybeats, The Who, The Spencer Davis Group, and many more iconic names.

It’s 'as it used to be'… a totally great, LIVE performance!

This is a unique show that recaptures the vibrant music and Scouse humour that you'd have experienced in The Cavern’s 'Merseymania' days. Liverpool-born Steve Quillon (whose 1960s group has a named brick in The Cavern Wall of Fame) leads The Fabs, who have performed 700+ times to date.

You'll sing, scream, laugh, and cheer on a night you won't forget!
