THEY say that if you can remember the 60s then you weren’t really there.

Well, if you go to Englefield House this summer and close your eyes, you might just think you are actually back in that groovy, flower power decade when love and peace were the words on everybody’s lips, man.

Forget Woodstock and think Englefield this July when the world’s favourite Beatles tribute band for more than four decades, The Bootleg Beatles, will take to the stage.

They will be joined by special guests, The Counterfeit Stones, providing that hard rock sound that made two of Britain’s best loved bands reigned supreme.

For those a little younger, or a little younger at heart, there’s another treat in store for the same ticket price. Thirty years after the Merseybeat, the group many regard as the natural successor to the Beatles and the Stones, will belt out their sound around the Berkshire summer evening.

With immense attention to detail,Noasis, recreates the real Oasis experience, playing all the classic songs as if they were their own.

Founded in 1980, The Bootleg Beatles have been selling out venues across the globe with their immensely accurate representation of the original band, from the guitars to the clothes, the mannerisms, and the music.

A global favourite, The Bootleg Beatles have played over 4,500 shows since the 80’s and taken to the stage at some of the most noteworthy locations and festivals, including Glastonbury, The Royal Albert Hall, Buckingham Palace, Knebworth and Wembley.

In fact, The Bootleg Beatles are so good, their notable guests over the years have included Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison, George Martin and the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Formed in the early 1990’s, The Counterfeit Stones have successfully toured the globe for nearly three decades, performing the most authentic celebration of The Rolling Stones in the world to sold-out audiences. The band has shared the stage with some musical greats over the years, including Joe Cocker, Iggy Pop, Blur, ZZ Top, Bryan Ferry, and many more.

Its little wonder that Mick Jagger described them as “The most famous Stones band in England”.

Noasis were formed in 2006 and are regarded as the definitive tribute to Manchester’s super group Oasis. The highly praised band has toured extensively across the world to perform the hits that have defined a generation. With immense attention to detail Noasis recreates the real Oasis experience, playing all the classic songs as if they were their own.

Also announced at Englefield House for the Heritage Live concert series is Richard Ashcroft of The Verve, plus very special guests Ocean Colour Scene and The Sherlocks on Saturday July 22, as well as Hozier plus very special guests Far from Saints and Victoria Canal on Sunday, July 23.

So, whether you hark back to the age of flower power or the 90s no nonsense Gallagher brothers. Make sure you get your tickets before they sell out, man.
