Rolling through a two-hour set of more than a dozen Beatles classics, The Britles performed for about 100 people Saturday in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Dressed in 60s-era Beatle regalia, including suits, “Beatle boots” and wigs, each member of The Britles took on the voice and personality of his English counterpart for the performance.

The air of authenticity was heightened by banter between the band members and the crowd, consisting of a mix of jokes and bickering.

Rhythm guitarist Joe Snell even went so far as to imitate John Lennon in describing himself by saying: “I’m John. I play guitar and sometimes the fool.”

The performance was also rife with self-deprecating humor, English colloquialisms and even a few Yoko Ono jokes.

Playing classic songs such as “Please Please Me,” “Love Me Do,” “Day Tripper,” “Can’t Buy Me Love” and “Hard Days Night,” The Britles covered much of the Beatles’ early catalog during the course of the night.

During the show, fans clapped, cheered and even danced in the aisles.

“I brought my friend from home for a good time,” said Jillian Treacy, a freshman elementary education major. “The band was good. They’re pretty entertaining.”

Also appearing at the event was Louise Harrison, sister of the late George Harrison.

“I wasn’t here to promote anything,” Harrison said. “I don’t go anywhere to promote things, I go to have fun.”

Harrison was signing pictures, books and meeting Beatles fans all night. There was even a designated “hugging chair” on which Harrison could show her affection for Beatles fans.

“I enjoy meeting my Beatles family,” Harrison said. “For some fans, I might be as close to a Beatle as they are able to get. The fact that people are still enjoying The Beatles’ music is a sign of the impact The Beatles’ message had, and The Beatles were all about love and peace.”
