Bands & Entertainment
Like The Beatles
Like The Beatles are the UK’s most authentic Beatles tribute band, entertaining audiences all over the British Isles and Europe for almost a decade.Their attention to detail in the musicianship and characterisation with authentic instruments and costumes and a keen eye for detail they are completely dedicated to bringing audiences the most technically accurate experience of The Beatles a tribute band can get. Their love for and obsession with The Beatles is apparent in every aspect of their performance.
Being largely a band of brothers, their close family dynamic helps create the onstage camaraderie we all associate with The Beatles. From their earliest days in Liverpool to the heady last days in Abbey Road Studios, Like… The Beatles recreate it all with diligence and respect, to the point that the audience loses themselves in the incredible music and forgets about the tribute band – and that’s their aim!
“Like The Beatles, are as close to the Fab Four as you can get” Ed Petrie – The BBC

Naked Apes
Naked Apes from East London play pop, rock, and soul. What has eight legs and evolved from monkeys? Find out for yourself when Naked Apes — formerly The Monkeys — play Felixstowe Carnival. Guitarist Oli Grünfeld told Felixstowe Carnival: “We love playing out here where people really know how to have a good time — we’re looking forward to going bonkers at the Carnival.” So what does Darwin have to do with it? “We were The Monkeys until someone said there was already a Monkees, even though they were way before our time, and they never played Felixstowe Carnival as far as we know,” Oli explained. “Then we tried Naked Elephants, but we thought: What’s the point of a naked elephant? So we became Naked Apes.” He added: “We have a ton of fun on stage and you’ll always get a lively show when you come and see us. “We play anything you can let your hair down to and dance along with.”
The Start!
The Start! is a high energy, pro standard live band playing the best in Mod, and Ska / Two

Floyd, Gloria Jones, Paul Weller, Madness, Bad Manners, Desmond Dekker and much more!
The origins of the band go back over 30 years to four young hopefuls from Canvey Island
with a love of all things Mod. The Start was born & played local gigs to a large enthusiastic
following. The band also found national TV stardom appearing on Thames Television’s
“Freetime”. The band did eventually drift apart with members going on to careers in music
including teaching, performing, touring and recording.
Fast forward to 2014 and after the demise popular Essex bands The Score and P45 rises a
new version of The Start! featuring original members Brook Railton (Vocals), Rob Sigston
(Guitar) with new rhythm section Dave Moon (Bass Guitar) and Dustin Lee Burgess (Drums).
Dave exited the band in early 2015 to be replaced by former Secret Affair Bassist Sean Kelly.
