Jan says; "Ever since I remember hearing the Beatles for the first time in the early 1960s my fascination and admiration for their music and the whole Mersey sound has never subsided.
My audition for the 'Beatlemania' stage show way back in the 80's firmly embedded the desire to ensure my shows reflect the essence of that great time in music. The VOX AC30 amps, my Gretsch Country Gent and Gibson J160e guitars, the sound, voices and of course the black Chesterfield suits, Shea jackets and Beatle boots help to recreate this."
