I would like to say that I have been to quite a few of your gigs. And have always had a great time. Don’t know how the two of you recreate the songs so well when they were originally sung by four. Great singing! Keep it up don’t ever stop! A true Beatles Fan! Now a true fan of Acoustic Beatles

Me and my friend saw you at the acoutsic festival of Great Britian! You guys were amazing! I couldn't get over how much you sounded like the Beatles! Now if you can only learn to look a bit more like them you'll be well on your way to stardom! Keep up the good music and thanks for a great show.

I saw The Acoustic Beatles at The Acoustic Festival of Britain. Their harmonies were so good I thought they must be brothers. They really lifted everybody's spirits on a miserable wet day.

Washington football club Saturday. Had a great night despite the surroundings and because they played so many favourites it felt like they were playing "just for us". They left the stage to a standing ovation which was a fitting end to a memorable night.

Brian & Phil played at the Wheatsheaf Benton Square and went down a storm. I can safely say that they are the best singers/musicians we have had here. My customers are delighted that I have rebooked them twice in 2008!

I first saw The Acoustic Beatles at Sandy Bay Holiday Camp and was bowled over by Brian and Phil's vocals and the overall authentic sound and show they created. I was so impressed I took my wife to the next gig in a small pub in Whitby. Sarah is neither a sixties nor 'acoustic guitar' fan but she really liked them - so much so that when I played at a pub in Liverpool she sneaked out to watch the Acoustic Beatles who were playing next door! I never got a look in ... and had no choice but to book them for our thirtieth wedding anniversary in September 2007. What a great night ... and we are all still talking about The Acoustic Beatles! The atmosphere they create at a gig truly captures the Beatles nostalgia and you can't help but sing along with them. Fantastic - keep up the good work! Derek and Sarah

Luckily we stumbled across these guys playing a couple of gigs in Tenerife. My friend has a saying, ‘There are more air guitarists out there than real guitarists’. Well I can assure you these guys play live acoustic guitar that really resembles the feel of the time. I bought an album of theirs which is well worth a listen! Thanks for a great performance guys, it added a lot to our holiday.

Hi, only managed to catch the second half of the gig at the Ropery, but excellent performance as usual. Enjoyed seeing you for the first time in the Ropery last year and a couple of times in the Cavern and Adelphi in Liverpool. Looking forward to your next gigs.

Be prepared for a real treat. The Acoustic Beatles are consummate musicians who sound and feel like they've been playing together for years! They are not The Beatles, but they are only two, not four! Take it from one who saw the Fab Four live back in 1964, they are good. Very good. They are musically tight, produce beautiful harmonies and have that extra something which transports you right to the heart of the fabulous music of the Beatles. Go and hear them. Janet Smith, Dublin.
