A three-piece from York in the style of the old “beat groups!”
Flashback is a hard-hitting band whose act is a totally live, uncompromising replication of the sights and sounds of the early beat groups of Hamburg and Liverpool’s Cavern Club. It’s all here – Vox amplification, vintage guitars and drums, leather jackets, winklepickers, Chelsea boots and lots of cheeky banter – just how it used to be. Oh, and if the venue is large enough, a full-size backdrop of the stage wall of The Cavern to complete the illusion!
Although songs by The Beatles are included in the set, there is also a mix of well-known songs from many of the other bands who were rubbing shoulders with the Fab Four at the time. What you will NOT hear are songs by The Shadows, The Everly Brothers, or other more middle of the road acts of the time!
It's important that people should still be able to hear the music which changed the world, and sparked hysteria in many of those who heard it, recreated as authentically as possible on stage. People who were actually there at the time regularly come up and say “that’s just how it used to sound!”
Recently to be seen at Liverpool's Beatle Week, including the main open-air stage at the pier head, they have played on the same bill as Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Mojos, The Undertakers, Dave Berry and The Cruisers, The Fourmost, Herman’s Hermits and Kingsize Taylor and The Dominoes.
Next year sees them appear at Alloa Town Hall, 47 years since The Silver Beetles appeared with Johnny Gentle, at the first ATOMBEAT festival.
Everything they do is great to dance to, and doesn’t have to be loud – remember bands played through 30 watt amps in the early sixties!
If you want to hear what everyone was raving about in 1962, come along and sample the music of that period at its raw, earthy best - and not a backing tape in sight!
