Just John & Paul Beatles Tribute
Cairndale Hotel & Spa, English Street, Dumfries and Galloway.
Looking for a fun night out after Christmas? Look no further than the Beatles Tribute by Just John & Paul! These two brothers, Glen and Dean, are not just passionate about The Beatles, but they are immersed in the art of entertainment. You will not find any impersonations here, just the feel of The Beatles – the excitement, the attitude, the irreverent humour.
Glen and Dean are natural performers, and their stage presence is reminiscent of Lennon and McCartney themselves. And the sound! You will not believe your ears – it’s as if a live four-piece band is right in front of you. Glen and Dean play and sing note-for-note what John and Paul played on stage and on record.
Four Course Dinner. Full payment is required at time of booking
