BEATLES
BAND 'GET BACK' TO OXTED
Top Beatles tribute, Sgt Pepper's Only Dart Board Band will 'Get Back'
to Oxted in December after an absence of two years. They will perform
again at The Barn Theatre having sold-out there on their previous visit
in December 2001.
This year the in-demand Peppers have had a busy summer appearing in
many outdoor festival events, the main highlight being the Orange Ashton
Court Festival at Bristol supporting Robert Plant, former front man
of Led Zeppelin, in front of a 30,000 strong audience. The band also
headlined at the Homberg Town Festival in Germany. In May Liverpool's
famous Cavern Club was 'taken over' by The Peppers for a weekend. They
had appeared previously at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall but this was
their first stint at the Cavern and they went down a storm there. They
weren't to know it at the time but a certain Paul McCartney was to appear
on the same Cavern stage at a 'secret' gig just five days after the
Peppers gigs and just before his King's Dock gig in June.
Promoter Tom Sangster says that the Pepper Band has been together for
seven years now without change to their line-up and they just get better
and better. "It's like watching a fine wine mature" he says. "As a Beatles
tribute band they can't be beaten for sheer entertainment, stage presence
and know-how. This all comes from their vast experience as purveyors
of tongue in cheek humour which interweaves nicely with the songs in
their live sets. Believe me, they will get the place 'jumping'! The
Barn is a small theatre but it has an intimacy and atmosphere which
is hard to beat. When the Pepper Band played there before it was a fantastic
night and they are looking forward to returning."
Tickets for their show at The Barn on Saturday 6th December can be obtained
from The Churchill Gallery, High Street, Westerham (Telephone 01959
561811) until 14th November; thereafter from Ibbett Mosely, Station

advice is "Get your tickets quickly".
