EAGLEHAWK Bowling Club is gearing up for a Sunday afternoon like no other when it hosts the remarkable Beatles Legacy tribute act – a Melbourne-based six-piece supergroup that promises to faithfully recreate the music, energy, and charisma of the iconic Fab Four.

During the two-hour show the group will not only cover the band’s impressive catalogue of classics but also dip into Paul, John, George and Ringo’s solo careers, as well as perform numbers from Wings and the Travelling Wilburys.

Beatles Legacy drummer and founder Paul Monger said as far as the afternoon’s setlist goes, “it’s a no-brainer – it’s just hit after hit after hit”.

“We open up with ‘Saw Her Standing There’, ‘She Loves You’, ‘All My Loving’, ‘Hard Day’s Night’, ‘Hold Your Hand’ and ‘Help’,” he explained.

“The set transgresses into ‘Here Comes the Sun’, ‘Octopus’s Garden’, ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’, ‘Lady Madonna’,” and then the last part we do a tribute to several bands that are inspired by the Beatles.”

“The second set kicks in with ‘Magical Mystery Tour’, ‘Drive My Car’, ‘Sergeant Pepper’s’, followed by a George Harrison medley and then a Wings medley.”

“To finish off we basically bang it out with all the rockers – ‘Get Back’, ‘USSR’, ‘Let It Be’, ‘Live And Let Die’ and ‘Revolution’.”

“There won’t be a song that we play on the day that people won’t know.”

Don’t miss the Beatles Legacy at Eaglehawk Bowling Club in Simpsons Road on Sunday 27 October from 2pm.
