| Biography | The Bootleg Beatles are a Beatles tribute band. They were formed from the London cast of the Broadway musical Beatlemania. Their first performance was at a small student gathering in Tiverton, Devon. Following low-profile gigs, the band performed a 60-date tour of the Soviet Union; further tours followed in Israel, the Far East, the Middle East and India. In 1984, they were invited to perform in the United States, to commemorate The Beatles' initial US tour 20 years earlier. |
