The Maniacs HISTORY
The band started life as 4 friends rehearsing a few Beatle songs for a one night gig in 2002. Soon after rehearsals began, the group realised their potential and love for everything Beatles.  After the one night show, the band decided to jump in with both feet and give it a go full time.
    As with any career, there is a ladder to climb.  The band started out in pubs and parties and gradually progressed into social clubs.  It was in November 2002 that they auditioned for a tour of the Balearic islands and succeeded.  The tour greatly tightened the band both on and off stage and prepared them for their next big break, which was to perform on BBC's Blue Peter in Autumn 2003.
    The success of the above paid dividends on the bands CV and paved the way to corporate functions, weddings and theatres which are now the groups main business but for nostalgic purposes, ocassionaly re-visitng one or two of the pubs that helped them start their career.

Now into their 5th year and by far exceeding their own expectations, the Beatlemaniacs have gone from strength to strength covering a wide range of projects, from UK and European tours, Beatles' conventions, TV and Radio, the fabtastic 2006 tour of New Zealand and the recording of a song featured in a DVD about Liverpool.

Regarded highly by reviewers and show-goers alike, a New Zealand newspaper reviewer stated "The Beatlemaniacs epitomize the youthful exuberance and musicianship of the young Beatles".

With the average age of the band being just 24, they are the same age as their peers were during the touring years of 1962-1966 which attributes greatly to the shows authenticity.
    The Beatlemaniacs are more than happy with what they have achieved, learned and seen in the last 5 years and know that there is much more to come in the future.
