I heard they are now playing songs by other British bands in addition to the Beatles. Is this true?

Yes, but they only play about 2 or 3 other non-Beatle songs--towards the end of the set. We were there about 3 weeks ago.

The one I explicitly remember was, "There's a Kind of Hush." Is that Herman's Hermits? I can't remember the others, but everyone seemed to enjoy the songs, nonetheless.

Yep, absolutely....that's Peter Noone (otherwise known as Herman). "No Milk Today" is still my favorite H and the H song tho.

I was so glad to hear (pun, not intended) that they will expand their repertoire. Only 10 days 15 hours left to go... tic tic tic

1) Yep.
2) Fortunately they PLAY the Stones songs.
3) And not try to replicate them.
4) Can you imagine a 64-year-old shirtless rocker at WDW?

We've never seen them but my DW is a Beatles-Freak! Loves the music and the band. Is it worth changing our plans to see them, if we're scheduled to go to another park on a day they're booked to play? I guess I mean, are they REALLY good? We saw a group called "Rain" in Memphis last year, and they were really good.

Yes -- GO -- and don't be afraid to sing along

Thanks

We were at Epcot a couple of weeks ago. There was a band back behind the UK playing Beatles songs. There is a flower garden area back there. They were set up in a gazebo area. Could that have been them?

My family and I were bee-bopping and singing along. How do you find out their schedule? We'll be back in a couple of weeks and I'd love to catch them again.

Found a website that was updated last week noting the following:

"The British Invasion
1960's British rock-n-roll revival.
Sunday-Tuesday, Thursday & Friday at 3:00, 4:30, 6:00, 7:00 & 8:00pm
Length of show: 20 minutes"

It was an unofficial website, so you may need to call or check the Epcot show schedules directly.
