Biggest Tribute Band in the world to headline 2011 MOKFEST!

Postby Kintyre Forum News » Sat May 21, 2011 7:39 pm

The Mull of Kintyre Music Festival Committee are delighted to announce that the Bootleg Beatles will headline the festival this year. Taking a trip down the original long and winding road they can hardly wait to visit Campbeltown near the Mull of Kintyre, which is the title of the hit penned by Paul McCartney.

Saturday night in the Victoria Hall will provide a high point for festival revellers who will get the opportunity to dance and sing along with “the biggest tribute band in the world” according to Graham Norton whose show the band appeared on. The festival committee would like to encourage the audience to join in the occasion and dress up to suit the occasion.

Formed about 30 years ago from the cast of the West End Broadway musical ‘Beatlemania’ they were the first western rock group to tour the Soviet Union. Among many festival gigs including Glastonbury 1994 they have also played for the Queen. Liam and Noel Gallagher Oasis front men asked the Bootleg Beatles to support their Earls Court gig in 1995 and they have shared a bill with Rod Stewart, Elton John and David Bowie. The festival committee are sure that Saturday 20th August will be a night to remember for festival goers.

For more details visit the Festival website at http://www.mokfest.com or email mokfest@hotmail co.uk for more information. Tickets will go on sale in mid June and the committee expect a huge demand this year, the exact date will be confirmed shortly.

Saw these in Bath - they were brilliant, they were part of the Youth Olympic's Festival at the end of the games - wonderful night, even the policemen and women on duty were dancing to them - amazing night, fond memories.

Due to popular demand The Festival committee have responded to requests to lower the entry age limit to the Bootleg Beatles Concert. Those aged 16 years can attend as long as they are accompanied by an adult. The committee have received many requests and that is why they will lower the age limit to 16, if accompanied by an adult. Please note that proof of age must be produced on entry and if you are under 18 you cannot enter the designated bar area.

In addition there will be limited seating available. Please come early to avoid disappointment!
