Tonight’s Band – 
Me and My Monkey
Since it’s inception in 1997, Me and My Monkey has traveled extensively perfecting its’ world class ‘Tribute to The Beatles’ along the way. With numerous television appearances, and headlining many festivals as well as opening for a handful of classic rock favorites in the United States, Me & My Monkey was more ready than ever to invade the shores of the U.K., even playing the world famous ‘Cavern Club’ (twice!) In an interview with a brit-popmagazine….“We feel there is only one way to do this…the right way. We’ll stop at nothing to give people the feeling that they are actually seeing and hearing the Beatles live.”
