    There is a replacement band. They are called The English Channel. Not sure if they have officially stated yet or not. I just know of the name.
    Let's stop defending mediocrity out of Disney and hold Disney to the higher standard they set up themselves.

    Am I the only one glad there will be a change?

    Nothing against The British Invasion, but they only played the most mediocre of Beatles music, and were there for quite a while. A change of pace/tunes will be nice, I think. So much great music comes from Britain, it's a shame to have not had more variety, sooner!

    Sorry, I meant reports on the quality/song selection of the new act.

    They were supposed to start yesterday. Hopefully someone is there and can report live. (I know I would have to wait to get home to report. )

    The new group that was supposed to begin this past Monday, is slated to play a wider variety of British music, covering the Who to Zep and lots of stuff inbetween.

    I'll make sure to give them a listen when we are there in two weeks.

    Just watched the video of the new band. I don't know. They aren't awful, but they aren't amazing. Even though I liked and knew all the songs they played, I think the British Invasion had a wider appeal. These guys are one step above your run of the mill garage/cover band. Some songs were decent but others not so much. Live and Let Die was awful. Guess I'll be starting in Mexico when I drink around the world, so that I won't care too much about their sound by the time I get there

    Yea, saw the video (thanks Bob,) and it was good but... who wears long hair and jeans in Florida in the summer? Anyway, I'll hold any real commentary until I see them live.

    Gosh, I'm so disappointed! We really just discoverd The British Invasion last year! We had to make a 2nd trip to the WS just to watch them! DS's really enjoyed! We were so looking forward to seeing/hearing them next month! I guess we'll check out the new group & see what we think. Change is inevitable.

    I saw a little bit of The English Channel. They are better in person than they are on the you tube video. That probably has something to do with the video being their first performance. I actually like them better than the BI.

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

    We just got back yesterday. My husband and I saw the new show on Saturday. From some reason whenever my son plays Kim Possible we end up in the UK during the show.

    We both enjoyed it. I am not a huge Beatles fan, so I really liked having the variety of songs in the new show.

    DH does like the Beatles and he thought the new show was just as good as the old show.

    I like the Beatles too, and they are simply the most influential band in the history of rock and roll. That said, they're not the only band in rock and roll. I'm glad for the variety. DW and I saw them again this weekend, they are an improvement in our opinions.

    We saw them when we were there on the 24th of last month.

    The band is okay and I really don't have a preference between them and the old band. I don't spend much time with them on our trips.

    The songs are pretty good. They are decent musicians who seem to put a lot into the performance.

    The one thing I found funny or strange is that only one of the band seemed to actually be British. The others are American, so it was a bit lacking for me in that regard.

    But, hey, you only need to pop into the Rose & Crown for a pint to take care of that.
