1 Audiences have been raving about the all Canadian tribute to the Beatles known as THE CAVERNERS. These boys have yet to perform without their crowds screaming, stamping their feet and yelling for more. Every part of the show is done with the utmost authenticity, right down to the Liverpudlian accents. Every piece of Caverner costume and gear has that unmistakeable Beatle look, right down to the British Vox amplifiers and the classic Ludwig Ringo drum kit. All the great songs are there too, everything from She Loves You to Day Tripper, from Help! and A Hard Days Night to Get Back and Hey Jude. See it for yourself. The Caverners will hold your hand back to The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964, then drive your car and take you on a yellow submarine to meet nowhere men, taxmen, and people named Jude, Lady Madonna and John and Yoko. It's a ride you won't want to miss.

3 Media and Clients "Boy these guys are really good! Exact music and looks -even the spoken dialogue sounds like Liverpool. If I didn't know better I'd swear I was back in the 60's with the real thing. The Caverners rule! (Tom Shannon, on air personality / WHTT-FM (Oldies 104) Buffalo, NY) "I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to work with a band that not only looks like the Beatles but most accurately recreates their timeless material note for note. The arrangements...the solos...everything was bang on! Oldies 1150 CKOC looks forward to working with THE CAVERNERS in the near future. We are pleased to be associated with such a totally professional act. (Nevin Grant, Program/Music Director, Oldies 1150 CKOC, Hamilton ON) For those who weren't around when the Beatles debuted and missed out on MopTops, Sgt Pepper, Ed Sullivan...the whole Fab Four craze, then rest assured, The Caverners' look, sound and spirit are keeping the Beatles feeling alive and well. Experience the Beatle-Mania for the first time again!" (Suzy Burge, on air personality / The New WI - "News Now") "What a fantastic way to bring back the past! Our audience thoroughly enjoyed the evening with The Caverners Beatles Tribute." (Gerry Orum, Past President, International Freedom Festival, Windsor, Ontario) "In addition to the lifelike and authentic element they project, The Caverners are excellent musicians that know how to play to the tempo and mood of the crowd. All too often performers have their own agenda that sometimes does not mesh with organizers, but it has been my experience with The Caverners that they are accommodating, easy to work with, and above all talented. They make an outstanding addition to any festival or other event." (Barry A. Katzman, former director of The Niagara Grape and Wine Festival and current organizer of the largest annual function associated with the Grape and Wine Festival known as "The Event In The Tent") "We heard nothing but high praise for The Caverners in the feedback we received from our guests following the party. It gives me great pleasure to recommend The Caverners to anyone who wishes to have a fun-filled and nostalgic evening of great music." (Harold A. Roozen, Director, Western International Communications Ltd. (WIC), Vancouver B.C.) "Your performance was outstanding. All of your sets were distinctive, and the costumes and interplay between each of you showed a great understanding of John, Paul, George and Ringo. We recently received a letter from our U.S. client raving about the evening. The truth is that your group, 'The Caverners' were the real stars of the evening!" (Rick Naylor, President, ACCUCOM Corporate Communications Inc., Toronto, ON) "They have the songs down cold. The Caverners have gone to great lengths to recreate a group that set a trend in popular music...this is a marvellous trek down the Long and Winding Road." (Harry Currie, Kitchener Record, reviewing The Caverners Beatles Tribute)

4 Real Fanmail "Many thanks to you and all of the members of your organization. What a great party!! You made it happen! I received no less than 20 calls yesterday from members ranting and raving about the greatest party at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. You can be assured that I will be telling a lot of people about The Caverners." (C.R, Detroit MI) "Saw your show tonight a the Windsor Casino - excellent, excellent, excellent! A bunch of us danced through the audience, up on stage, and back down again. We had a blast!" (L.S.G. Windsor, ON) "I enjoy what you do for the image of The Beatles. You make people really feel like they're seeing The Beatles play. I was at the show for Canal Days in Port Colborne and my brother-in-law was getting chills from the music. That's kind of hard to get chills when it is so hot outside. That's how good it is. (A.R, Buffalo NY) "Hi there, I just watched your show last night at Fort Erie Slots and I was blown away! You are absolutely fabulous, I am an ex- Brit who grew up listening and watching the Beatles, even had the thrill of meeting them and getting their autographs. You have the sound right on, the look...amazing and the Mersey accent... very realistic. Keep up the fantastic work guys. (B.P. Port Colborne, ON) "I just wanted to thank you guys for putting on such an awesome show! There were moments where I actually felt like I was at a real Beatles concert. The authenticity of the costumes, instruments and especially the signature screams and "woo's!" were completely up to par! I honestly could not have asked for a better time. Thanks again! (C.B. Niagara, ON) "I just want to thank you and the other guys for an unbelievable show Friday at the Tralf. This was our third time out to see you guys and what a great show. We brought my best friend and his wife, I actually bought their tickets. I told him there is no way he's going to miss this show. My friend is quite an authority on the Beatles and has been for better than 35 years. His thoughts... We had all seen Beatlemania in the past he said, this show was every bit as good as that show and in some ways better. We all really enjoyed the venue (Tralf) a very intimate setting and perfect for your show. We've been talking about it since leavi ng Friday night. (B.H. Buffalo, NY) "Hello there! I just wanted to let you know I just saw your performance for the first time at the Tralf this past friday night (Sept. 19). My friend and I came down for the show and were totally blown away. We only wish we had more of our friends with us to experience what we did. We had a ball! We have just downloaded your up coming performances and will road trip to see you again. You are well worth the ride! Next time we will enjoy it with family and friends. Take care and keep up the good work!!! (M.C. Buffalo, NY) "Saw your show (9-30 Friday) at Hiawatha, it was great. I grew up in Manchester,England in the early 60's and saw the Beatles 3 times at the Ardwick, Appollo. That was in the days when they were relatively unknown, and other local bands, Hermans Hermits, The Hollies, Freddy and The Dreamers, The Scaffold (with Mick McGear, Paul McCartneys brother), Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, and artists Billy Fury, and others were weekly attractions. Well boys you took me back almost 40 years, you were absolutely great, all the more so as listening to you last night I truly believed you were "Scousers". I will catch any future show of yours I get near, and will encourage others to do so. Thank you once more for a Great!, Great! evening. (C.C. Sarnia, ON)

5 Real Fanmail "Hey there, I just attended my first concert...all I can say is WOW!!! It was like I was at a Beatles concert. Amazing!! You guys are great. I can't say enough...i had a wonderful time. It was my birthday on the 25th and my anniversary is today. We decided (myself, my husband, our two teens, my sister and her husband and their daughter. We decided to go to your concert at Montebello Park Grape and Wine festival to celebrate the two events. We were all impressed...big TIME. Sincerely...your new fan. (L.S. St. Catharines, ON) "Having just seen your show tonight, I thought I would pass along my comments. We just moved to Windsor after a 5 year stay in England, about 15 minutes from Peasmarsh where Paul Mc. has lived for years. We certainly saw our share of Beatle things while over there including a trip to Liverpool to the original Cavern where they played. The two of you who play Paul and John have their mannerisms down pat...thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. (W.H. Windsor, ON) "You have captured the Beatles in so many ways. It's easy to see the enormous amount of time that you must have spent in developing it to near perfection. It was fabulous, as have been each of the other times we have seen you. You are so very talented and versatile. We even drove to Mount Forest and enjoyed a great night there too. Needless to say, we are big fans. Thanks for some wonderful evenings and we will be looking to enjoy more in the future. Keep up the great work. (C.M. Burlington, ON) "Saw the Brantford Casino show Monday night. Wow! Real authentic performance. Being guitar players ourselves, my friend and I watched with interest. Right on! Costumes, equipment, looks, especially George were very close to the originals. Coming to see more shows, great entertainment. (DH, Brantford, ON) "We were recently thoroughly entertained by your group at Windsor Slots. One word - FANTASTIC!!! We're hoping you'll be back next year and will be watching your web site for when you are in the area. (DD, Windsor, ON) "Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed last nights performance at Wonderland Gardens in London. It was truly "wonderful". I'm from Liverpool and had the pleasure of seeing the Beatles perform at the Cavern Club back in the early sixties and I have to tell you, I was totally mesmerized at how I was taken back in time. The only thing missing was the stone walls and arches!! (DM London, ON)

6 Real Fanmail I cannot tell you what a great evening that my wife and I had watching, listening and reliving the music that you guys so accurately and powerfully gave to us in the audience! I have played guitar for many years (first electric when I was in a teenage band and now a twelve string acoustic) and I really appreciate the incredible detail that you guys have put into reproducing the awesome 'riffs and runs' that I can remember when I used to listen and then try to duplicate. What a real treat to hear you! We look forward to seeing you and enjoying your tribute to the Beatles, again...soon! (DC, Niagara, ON) We, (yes, my fiancé), and I were truly entertained. Your musical capabilities were outstanding. Vocals were amazing. Your looks were quite similar to the "real thing". The humor was right on, which is one of the things about The Beatles that I like the most. I had a sore throat by the end of your show from singing along with you for the night. We had an extremely enjoyable evening, thank you for making my birthday one to remember. I look forward to the opportunity to see you guys perform again when I am able to travel to Canada again. (K in Ohio) "Thank you for being there. I did attend the Beatles concert in Vancouver, but I must say I am enjoying your group a lot more. You do an excellent/impressive job and so says everyone that we speak to when at your concerts. My preference is the earlier (mop top) Beatles, but you incorporate a perfect mixture in the latter part of your shows so that we enjoy any of the Beatle eras you play. (FJ, London, ON) "Hey guys! Caught your show last night and I was just blown away! To say I was impressed all to hell is an understatement. You have done an impeccable job of capturing the spirit and culture of the Beatles. I look forward to taking in your show again. This time we will drag along an even larger group of friends, and it will be my turn to watch them be amazed. Thanks again for a great show. Keep up the great work. (GB, Niagara, ON) "We had the pleasure of seeing your outstanding performance last night in Oakville. We TOTALLY enjoyed ourselves as did the entire audience around us. The age range was from Teenagers up Seniors++!!! The quality of the performance was first rate. I was too young to have attended a live performance but I do remember seeing the boys on the Ed Sullivan show. We will certainly do what ever we can to see the show again and will bring our children along with us...congratulations to all involved in producing a totally fantastic show!! (GB, Barrie, ON) "We saw your show at Casino Windsor Friday Sept. 14 (11:00 pm show). I was with my wife, brother in law his wife,and his cousin and his wife. It was our first time, their third. AWESOME- JUST AWESOME. Even that doesn't describe the show. Had a great time. An hour and a half went by like it was twenty minutes. We'll be back!! (JK Windsor, ON) "I caught your show again at Merrit Island yesterday and you guys really are a class act...i don't think there was anyone that wasn't impressed with your performance...i can't even imagine the time, energy, and musicianship that you have put into creating such a professional tribute to a band who's material is so well known, making your flawless execution of it even more impressive. Congratulations on your success! (KD, Welland, ON) "Just wanted to say that I saw your performance in Niagara Falls yesterday, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've had the pleasure of being entertained by you a few times in the past few years and am never disappointed. I'm a huge Beatles fan, and must say that you guys do a fantastic job with the music. Keep up the great work!!! (LS, Niagara Falls, ON)

7 Real Fanmail "Saw your show on Saturday night and was blown away! You were terrific! If we closed our eyes we could almost imagine we were back in the 60's and were teenagers again! With our eyes open, you were almost as convincing! We were a table of 12 and without exception we all loved the show. We have more friends who are Beatles fans and want to come & see you. (LM, Waterloo, ON) "I just saw the show at Casino Windsor and I have to say, you guys perform a spectacular concert. I've been a Beatles fan for the entire 19 years of my life (or since I first heard a song) and you far surpassed the expectations I had. I didn't think anybody could re-create the essence of the greatest band in history but you did it better than I could imagine. Great music, great interludes, and great laughs. I'm looking forward to following you guys around Ontario for some encore showings! (ML, Windsor, ON) "Just a note to the band. Being a musician myself I appreciate your incredible talents. What a dedication to excellence it is to recreate not only the sound but the actual essence of Beatlemania. I've seen other "Beatle" acts before but I think it's fair to say you'd have to BE the Beatles to get any closer. Thanks for the great entertainment.- May 7, 2003 Oakville Performing Arts Centre. (PB, Oakville, ON) "Along with five other friends, I caught your show last night at the Wonderland Gardens in London Ontario, and MAN was I blown away! You guys are great! From the costumes, to the accents, to the antics (JOHN), and the signature moves and actions of the original greats, you guys nailed it! And when I found out that you were all Canadian!!! - that made it even better! We were at a table at the very back - and a good thing too! Because when you started playing, I couldn't stay in my seat!! All six of us enjoyed ourselves immensely, and I will definitely be telling everyone I know about you guys! I'm sure we will be catching you again soon! Keep up the awesome work - and PLAY HARD! (RR, Zurich, ON) "Just wanted to say that I saw you at Lakeview Park in Oshawa on Canada Day and thought you were terrific. I'm a big Beatles fan, and both your singing and music were top notch. My husband is from England, and he found your Liverpudlian accents completely convincing (we had to check the website to figure out if you were actually from Liverpool or not!) Keep up the good work! (SL, Oshawa, ON) "You have all obviously studied the original recordings and their tablature very carefully. Your flawless execution (especially you, George...those licks...that authentic tone! I was studying you intently...perfect!), inflections, body language, the way you hold your guitars...i noticed the subtle things...your costumes and even the on-stage banter and jokes were dead-on. Although I never saw the Beatles live, you gave me a great gift last night. God bless each of you...you're giving your audiences so much more than music! (ST, Famington Hills, MI) "Thank you for the magnificent performance last night! It was my birthday, and we came up from Toledo, Ohio to celebrate. Little did I expect that it would be as special a celebration as any I've ever had...your musicianship is incredible...i was transported back to my childhood. Your "Day in the Life" and "Come Together" couldn't have been done any better if you'd actually had a full orchestra behind you! (TA, Toledo, OH)
