    BIOGRAPHY

    Yves, Dimitri, Christian and Alain, 4 guys from Namur (Belgium), whose
    name has become famous by playing the most famous music in pop
    history : the BEATLES repertoire.

    The story of the band began in November 87, and at this time, they
    performed a set quite different from today. That period corresponded
    with covers from the beginning of the Beatles career like "She's a
    woman
    ", "Anytime at all", "It's only love ", "She loves you " ...

    Later on, pushed by the need to play a more ‘serious’ repertoire and by
    overwhelming public demand, Abbey Road successfully played songs
    like "Penny Lane" , "Magical Mystery Tour" or "A day in the life"...

    Step by step, they became more and more popular and they have been
    able to take part in Beatles' conventions since 1988. Moreover, they
    met and played with famous pop stars like Pete Best (1st drummer of
    the band which was replaced by Ringo Starr), Joe Flannery (one of the
    Beatles' manager who will later invite Abbey Road in Liverpool), Tony
    Sheridan (whose concerts welcomed the Beatles in first part and with
    whom Abbey Road improvised a amazing "Jam-session"), and Alf
    Bicknell (the Beatles' chauffeur).

    Since 92’, the band has played in flanders, Germany, the Netherlands,
    France, Switzerland and UK.

    In september '93, they played an opening for famous french singer :
    Jacques Dutronc, in front of 60.000 people.

    On 4th, 5th and 6th of March 94, they flew to Liverpool for a concert in
    the heart of the Beatlemania. The band came to Britain with hundreds of
    belgian followers, and local Beatles' fans recognised them as the best
    representative of the Beatles' music, despite the fact that many others
    tried to do so.

    Their first CD, called "Now" was born in April '94 and is composed of 4
    original creations followed by 2 live songs, recorded during a concert.
    With records selling like hot cakes, the producer and the record
    company decided to produce a second one (a double CD), which was
    recorded ‘live’ and came out in 1995.

    In July '94, Abbey Road performed a big concert in the Castle of Vesves
    in Dinant. They were assisted by a symphonic orchestra of 30 musicians
    and 10.000 fans attended the event.

    In 10 years of existence, Abbey Road has played more than 600 gigs,
    and their motto is still "let’s go to the toppermost of the poppermost",
    like Paul and John used to say.
