GET BACK FOR RHUMBELOW THEATRE

 

Rhumbelow Theatre will present a production titled Get Back at the Umbilo venue on October 5 (Oct 4 sold out) and at Northlands Bowling Club on October 19, 2024.

Get Back features Barry Thomson & The Reals: Dawn Selby, Andy Turrell, Mali Sewell, Barry Thomson and Shaun Dragt.

In the short seven year life-span of the Fab Four, better known as ‘The Beatles’, they achieved phenomenal success, holding the record of having the most number one hit songs (20). 

They hold the record for most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart (15) and the most singles sold in the UK, 21.9 million.

 As of 2009, they were the best-selling band in history, with estimated sales of over 600 million records worldwide.

In the 60s, their songs helped popular music to become the soundtrack for political, social and cultural upheaval, particularly in the US. From made-to-measure suits and mop tops, to psychedelic suits, nowhere is the importance of image and visual styling more apparent than in their development. They also pioneered new recording techniques and ideas, forgoing live tours and performances to develop a new, more sophisticated studio sound. The Beatles began transforming our culture, dress, and music and their impact is still felt today.

Join Barry Thomson & The Reals as they pay an authentic tribute to Liverpool’s most famous pop group of all time - featuring frontman Barry Thomson (guitar/vocals), Dawn Selby (keyboards/vocals), Mali Sewell (drums/vocals), Andy Turrell (bass guitar) and Shaun Dragt (guitar/vocals).
