Please respond if you get a moment. . Thanks again, Papillion

Hey, Guys!
What's the difference between British Export performing in Danville, Virginia's Festival in the Park in front of a few hundred people, and the Beatles performing at Shea Stadium in from of tens of thousands of screaming girls?
I could hear every word and perfectly played note at YOUR Show!
I have been a Beatles fan since the day Ed Sullivan first introduced them. I never saw them live. If I had seen them, I would have never heard them. You guys have faithfully captured the Beatles live and perform one THOROUGHLY entertaining Show! I have been listening to their music for forty-one years, and you all have obviously been listening, too. What a GREAT job of recreating the best band of all time!
Keep up the good work!! Great Success to all of you!

Greetings from Virginia,
I just saw your show at the Danville (VA) Festival in the Park... it was great in every way! The music, the costumes, the instruments, the voices - and the look and stage presence. You guys have it all.
The reunion we have all dreamed about has occured!
I have never believed time travel was possible, but you truly took me back to the 60's. And what a trip it was.
I took my whole family. For my sons, it was like a Rock History 101 field trip. They have now seen a live "Beatles" performance!
Thank you for a great experience, from my whole family!

Hello to the band,
I'm a pro. drummer. I've worked with many club and cover bands to original project groups to tribute shows. Opened shows for Tower of Power and Steppenwolf. Recently I worked with an Elvis tribute show... Las Vegas style, at theaters, festivals and casinos. I've done a lot of recording as well. I loved your show. Seeing The Beatles first Ed Sullivan show in 1964 is why I became a drummer. I brought my four kids to see your show in Longview, Wa. while we were here in town. My kids all love The Beatles and know their music very while through me putting their old records on much of the time as they grew up. My kids loved your show and thought you all were very good at being the Beatles. You all are very interesting people to watch in your own right as well as being great at being the Beatles. Your playing and singing was very well done, you did the Beatles a good turn for sure...I think all the Beatles would be proud of you guys. Thank you for the great show and keep up the good work.

Hi guys,
I just wanted you all to know that not only did you ROCK, but you also made my cousins dream come by performing at his wedding this past Saturday. I have never met anyone who puts as much effort into being a fan of the Beatles as my cousin. He eats, thinks, and dreams the Beatles. We'll never be able to see the Beales in concert, but your perfomance made me feel like I was right there watching them. You guys were awesome. I have some pictures that I would love to share with you from the experience. Please let me know how I can send them to you at your convenience.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to make my cousin Jason's wedding so special and wonderful. I don't think I have ever had so much fun in my life. I don't think I have seen such craziness at a wedding before. You united young and old at this wedding and made sure that all were happy (even though I didn't get to hear my "Lovely Rita" - I ain't mad at ya!) and having a ROCKING time. After seeing you guys in concert, I now understand why Jason was so excited to have happened upon you guys in his search for the BEST Beatles band (and Jason would never settle for anything but the best wehn it comes to the Beatles). He said you guys have won so many awards and now I know why. You put the rest to shame, ......................... I hope you know that every wedding I go to will suffer in comparison to this one. When else will I ever get to expereince British Export and my Beatles.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for everything and listening to me ramble. I just want to hit rewind!!!! Let's do it again sometime!!! Green Bay loves you!!!!

It's Denise (Pringlettes)...just wanted to say "Hi", "How are you?" and to tell you that we're really looking forward now to AROTR seeing that it's so close!! And we're also really excited about you doing Ringo and His All Star Band. That ought to be something to see and hear. From looking at it on the AROTR site I definitely know who some of the members are of course, but there are a couple who I don't recognize. Any hints as to what songs you'll be doing in that set? Or is it a surprise, LOL?
We really miss you guys. It's been way too long! Too bad we're all over here on the east coast and you all are over there where you are.. But in a way that makes it all the more fun when we do get to see you guys play. AROTR will be a blast for sure (last year was unbelievable) and I'm sure British Export will be the big hit of the weekend as it was last year. ...and you guys are right up there amongst our favorite people, LOL!!!
One more thing...I hope you'll be doing the Cavern Set. That would be IT for me, I just LOVE that whole scene!!!! It's wild and everyone goes crazy when you guys do those songs. The early Beatles are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So until we see you and BE, take care of yourself. Tell the guys "Hi" for us, and we'll see you all soon.
Hugs,
Denise

I’m so glad my daughter-in-law sent me an email to let me know you guys would be playing a gig at the Stir Club last night. I called my girlfriend and she met me there. Boy did you take me back a few years! I enjoyed singing along with all the songs.
I was impressed with the amazing body actions that you all have and it took me back to watching the real Beatles. George has an excellent voice and guitar skills! I loved how Paul really had the actions down and played left-handed bass guitar. Ringo has a great voice and John has the stance.
I’ve seen Paul and Linda McCartney live and have met George Harrison’s sister – you guys are great!
Hope I get the opportunity to hear you all again.

Dear fellows, I have been a beatles fan since I was 6 years old. My dream was to actually see the beatles in concert in my life time, however due to the death of john lennon and georg Harrison, I realized that wish would never come true, that is until I saw your performance. You guys really don’t get enough praise for you unique talent. My dream came true to see you perform as the beatles, I actually felt that I was at a beatle concert. I haven’t been to many concerts in my life time and only wish to see a hand full of artist perform. Paul mccartney is my most favorite. I think you lads should see about performing in my home town. Jonesboro Arkansas, which is bigger than Batesville, ar, in which more people can enjoy you excellent performance. Again, I thank you for the best concert performance I have ever been to in my life. Sincerely yours, calvin Williams

Great show! (today is Monday January 17th and you guys played in Rochester on the 15th of 2005) The concert was amazing! I have been a Beatles fan for as long as I can remember and I had always wanted to go to a concert, and Saturday was finally my chance and it ROCKED!! You guys are not only perfect 'Beatles' but you're also awesome musicians! I was especially impressed by 'Paul' when he switched from left to right handed for 'Yesterday'. You guys nailed all the mannerisms and they were PERFECT!! I can't stop thinking about how awesome the concert was!! I really really hope that you will come back to Rochester!! I loved all your jokes too and how you let the audience sing along to a lot of the songs! And it made the show (if possible) even better since you guys were so nice and genuine! I had a really really great time!! Thanks for the great show and for keeping the Beatles spirit alive!
Love,

Hello - I was pleased to read how much you enjoyed Liverpool as you were, once again, the best act of the convention. What was wonderful about you all is that you were very sociable, mixing with everyone in the American Bar and that you all have such friendly personalities.
You are the best ever tribute band and Jim is one of the friendliest and charismatic people I have ever seen.
Even though Gavin tried to get me thrown out last year (that is a joke by the way) he has to be congratulated on being the most wonderful George Harrison and for keeping George's very special spirit alive. His act is one of the most special I have ever seen. And the duet of him with Jim Martin singing Photograph was fab.
Sadly being old enough to have seen the Beatles perform many times (although I was very young at the time!!!) I can say that your act is the most refreshing and magical that I have ever seen since then.
So thank you boys and hope to see you all next year.
Love

The dedication of “If I Fell” to us was beautiful. It is one of my favorite Beatle songs. I love the scene in AHDN when Paul and John sing it to the sulking Ringo. I look forward to seeing you again. You guys are the sweetest!

Hi Jim, Paul, Gav, and Davey!
Each time I have the pleasure of watching and hearing British Export play I am more amazed than than the last time. You keep getting better and better. You do everything just right, and for the duration of the show I can forget about everything else that is going on in life and feel great. I only wish that each show was longer, as it seems that you just get started and then it's time for the show to end. I am hoping that you'll be playing in my area one of these days in the near future. You are just too talented to stay in any one part of the country. We girls (better known as the Pringlettes/Lynch Mob) had the best time this weekend seeing you perform in Wheaton, Dwight, and Dick's Last Resort. And it was great spending some time with each of you. I know we tend to get a little crazy, but that's what you guys do to us and we're just having alot of fun! Thank you so much for playing those couple of songs that we requested. I can't tell you how great it was to hear you do Some Other Guy and Leave My Kitten Alone. OMG!!! I only wish that I could see you perform on a more regular basis. I get very cranky when I go for too long without my BE fix. So I hope it won't be too long before we can see you guys again. Until the next time, take care, and best of luck in all that you do.

Hey Jim, Paul, Davey and Gavin!
My name is Nina Giannangeli, and mine is Sarah Horvath. We just saw your concert at On the Waterfront in Rockford, IL! We were in the second row. Ninz was the one in the red shirt singing to every song and dancing in her seat and freaking out when you played "All My Loving" (her fave song). We were both really impressed by the way you looked, sounded, and acted just like our favorite band of all time! We're making t-shirts. We looked at the pics from Liverpool, and are very jealous, because we would love to visit the UK ourselves. Unfortunately, we are only sixteen and have no money :). And if we could quit school we'd totally tour with you guys acting as groupies. But obviously, quitting school would probably not be wise. Lol.
Anywhoo...thanks for coming to Rockford. We know it could not have been as exciting as Liverpool, but we enjoyed it v.v.v.v.v.v. much. Thanks guys! Come again!

Hello you lot!
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed your gigs at Beatle Week as usual I went to all of them of course and also George' Harry's Son as well.
I would like to say a special hello to Jim and Paula and I have e-mailed Joyce to tell her I passed on her message to you.
You also said that there is a DVD in the offing which I would be interested in defo!
I bought the CD and it is great playing it especially as it was recorded in the Cavern that gives it that magic touch I think.
Its funny I thought (Paul as he was last year) was great but he defo makes a better John somehow.
Anyway I shall be e-mailing Cavern City Tours to tell them you were my fav band yet again.
I will keep checking to see when your DVD is on sale actually make that nagging to see when it is on sale.
Good luck with all your gigs through the year and please don't forget to show up next year in August at Liverpool!

Guys
Just wanted to say that once again you did The Beatles Proud at Beatle Week in Liverpool.
All the gigs were so full of energy and the attention to detail is remarkable. Particular congrats on the Pepper costumes at last a 'George' who isn't in bright orange but the more peachy tones of the original jacket.
The suits and red shirts you wore at the Royal Court looked immaculate and you sounded amazing.
Here's hoping that next year you return to headline a Royal Court gig as you richly deserve to do.
It was great seeing you all again and getting to meet Davey for the first time. Liverpool is a duller place this Friday night without 2 BE gigs to attend.
Special thanks to Jim for his rendition of Photograph at the Fantasy Reunion and the George Harry's Son gigs. Having seen Ringo perform live on 2 occasions I was stunned by the likeness and moved to tears by your rendition of the song which for me sums up the pain of losing George.
Thanks again for making Beatle Week special here's to 2005

I loved every minute watching you four stage playing and goofing around. You four were so very nice and seemed like you had the most fun up on stage and with the fans! James Paul, Davey, Gavin and Jim you four are the best tribute band I've seen and coming from the east coast we don't get many out here so ya gotta try and get out here to PA and show us east coasters your fantastic energy and wit!
I wish ya the best in all you do and hope to hear from and see ya again sometime soon!

Hello!
I had the opportunity to see BE for the first time (and second and third!) over the weekend at AROTR and just wanted to drop you a line to tell you what a FABulous job you guys did! I was very surprised to find out that you hadn't had the new lineup in place for that long because the band was just incredible and musically very tight. And you are tar and away one of the best Paul's that I have had the pleasure to see. You're just adorable and it's so obvious that you and the rest of the band are having fun up there on stage. it really shows and makes the experience special for us out there in the audience. ":Leave my kitten alone" had become my new favorite Beatle songs after seeing BE perform it.
Any chance that you guys will be coming Upstate to NY in the future?
So anyways, thanks for keeping Beatlemania alive and giving those of us who weren't around in the 60s a chance to enjoy it!
Sincerely,
Tammy Clark

This group is the first Beatles tribute in the world that not only sounds like the Beatles, but also favors all four Beatles in appearance. Beat of luck with the new line up. See you on the road!

What can I say that hasn't already been said? You guys were great! I had
more fun getting sunburned watching you guys than any other band. I was
there with a non beatle fan and I think she's been converted. I've been
reading about how great your Cavern Club show was on Friday night and I'm
sorry I wasn't able to see it. That is my favorite Beatle era and I would
love to see "Long Tall Sally" performed or maybe "My Bonnie". Will you guys
be performing that show again next year. If so I'll take Friday night off
from work and drive straight to Cleveland.

Dear B.E. Boys,
I’m still recovering from the outrageous weekend at Abbey Road on the River. What a fantastic event! In addition to the multitude of wonderful Beatles tribute bands, we got to see British Export as the stars of the weekend. Gavin’s hour solo set was incredible, and Jim’s two Ringo songs were so dead on it gave me the chills. Davey performed wonderfully and McLynch was as entertaining as ever, jumping from keyboards to singing in a single beat. Our group had no choice but to dance and sing along throughout the whole weekend. Thanks again for getting my favorite song (Some Other Guy) back in the repertoire – and what jam would be complete without your trademark Roll Over Beethoven. Anybody who hasn’t yet made it to Abbey Road on the River needs to find a way to get there, because it really is a weekend you’ll never forget. Thanks again for the phenomenal time! Hope to see you all really soon. Carrie

The Star Club set at the VIP concert on Friday night was fantastic. George Harry's Son took my breathe away, Gavin, you made this old woman very happy. Thank you all for such great shows, you keep the music alive for all of us. Take care....

My first time for AROTR and it was incredibly fun! My best Beatle friends that I traveled with span the decades from experiencing Beatlemania as it happened (me) to a child of the 90's (my daughter), and we all agreed British Export was THE band of the weekend. Your talent, energy, varied set list and love of the crowd is unmatched! Davey's a great addition, James is such a fun John, Gavin is sigh-inducing and Jim keep the whole thing rockin' with that steady beat and winning smile.
We sat in the balcony for the main stage shows and had the greatest time dancing and crowd watching. When Jim came out for the Fantasy Reunion, we were amazed both at his uncanny look and sound and at the audience's reaction. So many people crowded the stage and so many cameras went off, it was phenomenal to see!
It was a treat to drive to Cleveland for the experience and even better to realize you're our hometown band!
Great job!

We've finally slept off the aftereffects of AROTR and wanted to drop you a
line to let you know how much we enjoyed your shows. The rooftop was lots of
fun, even if we were all freezing. hahaha The Cavern set was fantastic,
definitely one of the highlights of the weekend. "Leave My Kitten Alone"
ROCKED, we love it.
Jim, we loved your "Anthology Ringo" look for the finale. hahaha A couple
people asked us if that was really Ringo from all the cheers you got. Davey
makes a lovely addition to British Export. Paul, you're doing a great job as
John. We were pleasantly surprised by your pianoing (making up new words?)
skills during the last show of the weekend -- that "In My Life" solo kicked
it. And Gavin...well, everyone loves Gavin. What can we say? hahaha Keep doing
what you're doing.
We got a ton of pictures this weekend (about a dozen rolls between the two of
us), we'll send some of the better BritEx ones your way once they're developed
and scanned if you'd like. We also got a lot of good video footage, which we
haven't even had a chance to sit down and watch yet.

I gotta tell ya' You guys totally ROCK!
You made my first experience at AROTR a truly memorable one. From your
opening set at noon on Friday til nearly midnight on Sunday, you were the
band to see!!
That Gavin looks like a teenager....not that any of you look anywhere near
old enough to be Beatles fans! Being a baby-boomer, I KNOW how I became a
Beatles fan, but I'd LOVE to hear how it happened for all of you. Come
on...you're all guys....this stuff doesn't bother you...tell me... How old
are all of you? How did you become Beatles fans? And how did it happen
that a band formed in Chicago has a member from Liverpool? His bio seems
to indicate that he still lives there. Are you guys still based in
Chicago? That's a hell of a commute for Gavin! Should we assume he's
living in the States now?
Sorry about all the questions, but when I returned home, I couldn't stop
talking about you guys. My praise brought on a barrage of questions that
I couldn't answer. Unfortunately, here's even more questions... do you
ever perform near upstate New York? say...Niagara Falls, or Turning Stone
Casino, or even Toronto? We'd love to catch your show again (and again
and again)!
Come on...tell me! I want to know everything there is to know about
British Export!
Thanks for the great show last weekend!

Gavin, I video taped your solo set and people were asking me for copies of it before the show even started. A lot of people have told me how wonderful you are as George and now I know that they weren't exaggerating. Looking forward to seeing all of you perform again, hopefully in Cleveland next year!!

Hi Jim. I'm really sorry we couldn't get a Pete Best picture. My son Jimmy was trying to take pictures, but he is so small, and there were so many people on the dance floor, he couldn't get close enough to the stage. I could barely video tape the peformance, because of all the people. Sorry about that. I feel bad. If you have the same performance at the Sheraton next year, I will definately get pictures of Pete. I need a better camera with a better zoom, for next year. By the way, you guys were fantastic. We really loved all of your shows. You know we are partial to British Export, but regardless, we thought you guys were the best band out there. The Fantasy Reunion was absolutely awesome. You, Paul, and Gav were sensational. You all did a fantastic job, and should be very happy with yourselves. The kids asked me to tell you that they had the best time they have ever had anywhere. We had a lot of fun. We hated having to leave. It was a very memorable 4 days for us. Thanks to the 4 of you for making it happen. Can't wait until next year!!. See you this Friday. Take care. Love, Juanita & The "Boys"

Hi Ringo,
Gawd! You're spooky. My word, what a weekend, eh? I'm so looking forward to being in Liverpool and flying over with you all. Wife Janice is excited about it as well. The B.E. shows in Cleveland were nothing less than stunning and that goes for Gav's solo performance. Glad to have been able to help a bit with the schlepping of equipment on Thursday night. Luckily, I was able to cop earlier flights back to Tragic City on Monday as there were severe thunderstorms predicted. Baggage handlers put a couple of nice, deep, scrapes on my "Revolution" Casino case, the sodden bastards. I'm getting an Anvil case immediately. Ah, live and learn.

I just wanted to let you know how very much I enjoyed the band's sets this past weekend and to let you know, that as far as I'm concerned, you were the shining stars of the event. There were moments during Sunday afternoon's set when I actually thought I was listening to The Beatles! You were all that tight! The band just seems to be getting better and better each time I see you perform.
Jim, I absolutely loved your solo Ringo performance Sunday night .... you were fantastic! There were people who were sitting behind us who actually thought Ringo had come on stage!
Davey, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed talking with you this weekend! You are one of the nicest people I've met and I feel privileged that you felt so comfortable with us. You also happen to be the best "Paul" I have seen!.
James, you have stolen our hearts. I loved being able to spend so much time talking with you and meeting your lovely family. You've made friends for life with us. You are a complete joy to be with. And, your "John" is spectacular! Yes, we have been "Lynched", LOL.
Gav, what can I say? You know how much we love you ... you've become very dear to us. I feel like a proud mama when I watch you perform and I love spending time with you. Watching your "George" is very emotional. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but during your solo set on Sunday, a small yellow butterfly flew across the stage and right over your head. Hmmmm, wonder if that was George?
All of you are incredibly talanted and extremely sweet and friendly and we love you! Hope to see you all again soon.
Much love and best wishes for more success ahead of you,

Guys: I never thought you could top last year's Abbey Road on the River performance, but you did it this year! It was great to be in the front row for the "1969 to 1962" show (which I thought was a typo in the program at first). What a great concept, to go through the music in reverse!
Davey, it was terrific to meet you. You are Paul made over and even have his kind personality.
Paul, I had no idea you were such a virtuoso keyboard player until last night. Your middle 8 of "In My Life" was note-for-note perfect (and I'm really mad because I've been trying to master that bit for years!).
Gavin, you seem to be the heir apparent to Tim Piper as the Star of the Show. When you appeared onstage last night, it was as if Beatlemania had broken out all over again. Now, just keep your quirky and charismatic personality (as Tim has) and you'll be assured continued success.
And Jim, what can I say? It was nice to talk to you again and a load of fun to enjoy you as "older Ringo!"
You guys are indeed FAB and I wish you much health, happiness, and love as you continue on the "long and winding road." May we encounter each other again one day!

Hi! I just got home to Buffalo NY from the week-end at Cleveland. You guys ROCK!!!! This was my first time there. It was a surprise birthday present for my husband who is a huge fan. It was great when BIRTHDAY was played. I told him I arranged it especially for him. Of all the groups you where the favorite. I hope you will try to come to the Buffalo/niagara falls area soon. If not maybe I'll see you next year at Cleveland. A new fan!

Your performance was outstanding! I was able to experience this exciting evening, from a different perspective. I was one of the security personnel working crowd control. Watching you on stage, singing one hit after another, wearing different Beatle outfits, I kind of forgot why I was there. The evening zipped by. The crowd was standing and well behaved. I did not want the night to end. I hope I get the chance to repeat the experience. I know you had a long evening, but I appreciate the time you took talking to me after the show. Thanks and keep it up guys! See ya soon!

Hey guys! My name is Kristen (I met you all at Woodson Terrace Days -- I'm the one with the green apple tattoo that took a picture with you). Anyway, I'm just sitting here listening to 'Please Please Me' and reliving last weekend. I just wanted you guys to know that you are awesome and you have really made a lasting impression on me.
I saw you at Woodson Terrace last year and I bought tickets to Pop's in Sauget, IL back in January but when I got there it was standing room only (so we couldn't stay because my cousin that I went with has a bad knee and it hurts to stand up for a long period of time). I was thrilled to see you back on the schedule for Woodson Terrace Days this year and now my friend and I are planning a trip to Chicago to see you.
You really make all us baby Beatle fans who weren't even alive when the Beatles were around feel so blessed to have you. The Beatles and their music have been a part of my life for several years now, and having that common interest has really bonded my father and me. So I really appreciate that you guys are such talented musicians and that you really show your love and respect for the original Fab Four by not making them a novelty act. It is a wonderful tribute to the greatest band in history, and you are all very deserving of your success. I wish all of you the best and I can't wait to see you again in August!
Rock on! ~ Kristen Medlock

Hi guys:
Dan Knorowski and I (Holly Kerins) just happened to be in Chicago the
weekend you played at Muldoon's in Wheaton. Had to stop by. We got
there early, talked with you and ended up staying until the last note.
Had a wonderful time. Saw you guys again last night at Colonial Downs outside of Richmond.
Fantastic show. Really enjoy hearing you play. We live in Portsmouth,
VA near Norfolk and the Virginia Beach area.
Thanks for the great music and show. We'll try to make it to Cleveland
in August for Abbey Road on the River.

It was a wonderful experience and eventually I got my friends up and dancing with me, so everyone had a lot of fun. I'm going to try to make the Arlington show, we'll see how that goes. I know you don't need me to tell you, but keep doing what you're doing, because it works out great! I'll tell you, you made a friend and fan with me as of last night. Enjoy!

Great show Sunday night. This was my first wonderful experience enjoying your performance, but definitely not my last. The energy generated by the crowd carried me all the way through the day on Monday. I woke up with "She Loves You" playing in my head, and stayed in a good mood all day. My birthday is October 1st, and I have already begun telling people if you are playing Dick's anytime around then, that would be the only present I would want. Didn't realize how big you guys are until I checked out the website! My daughter and I were laughing in the beginning about the "groupies" hanging around the stage. I'm not laughing anymore - I could very easily become one of them. Jim - sorry, I thought you were just joking with me when I mentioned the man at the Ringo concert and you told me it was you. I believe you now! Going to try to make the Navy Pier show, but it does not look good right now. I can't thank you all enough for the wonderful show on Sunday. I was going to buy all of you a beer after the show, but by the time I got my CD signed they had stopped selling tickets. Maybe I will have a chance to do so in the future. Thanks again!

Hi guys! We had the pleasure and priveledge of talking to the 4 of you individually, and I have to say that I have never met such wonderful people. I have never met musicians like you. You made us feel like we were a part of your group. Almost like we have known you forever. I have never loved a band as much as I have grown to love yours in only a few hours. You made a long lasting impression on me that I will never forget. .............. after seeing you perform, and meeting you and talking to you, the 4 of you brought happiness back into my life. Your band brings the Beatles back to life, but you brought me back to life. We can't wait to see you again. The kids and I would really love to talk to you again.

I just saw the show last night in Munster and I have to say that was the best show I have ever been to by far. It was serendipidous I walked into the tent and there they were the fab four kickin' ass. Despite being drunk off my ass I had the best time. I woke up this morning and saw their signatures on my clothes. Although you guys might never come to Dallas I hope you make the effort to at least try. If you do I'll be right there shaking my ass with a drink in my hand and singing along.

I'm so happy to hear that you guys are going to be playing Virginia; I'll be there to cheer you all on! I hope you all will be able to meet your fans; I'd love to be able to say hello again (I enjoyed hanging out with sweet Paul; such a nice young man).

Prior to yesterday's concert, we had only seen you perform once, at Beatlefest back in April. This time we got to see the whole thing. You guys have it all...talent, charm, good looks, and oh yes....you are right on the mark when it comes to imitating the Beatles in their mannerisms and between song banter. You did so many songs that we love, ( we are three ladies who have been Beatles fans from the beginning ) we were in Beatle heaven. We can't wait to see you perform again at AROTR in August! Thanks so much for the great music!!! Take care!

Just got home from hearing you all for the first time in Rolla, MO. What a treat! Not only do you have the sound and the harmonies perfectly down, but you also seem to have the same spirit of fun that the Beatles had. I know you were working hard up there, but I think you were enjoying yourselves, too. I came to the concert alone, but I didn't feel alone once you guys got started - felt like you sort of brought us all together. I loved your music - takes a lot to get me to get up and dance, but I couldn't help myself. Thanks for a wonderful evening, and thanks, too, for being so nice and friendly to all us dorks who wanted autographs. Hope you come back here some time - Rolla needs more fun happenings.

Howdy all!
I caught the Mother's Day 'Brunch with the Beatles', and simply had to say you guys blew my freaking mind! Now, I've been around the Beatle block a few times, and I can't lie and say you guys were my first, as far as cover bands are concerned, but it was...I don't know, a lot more than I could have ever bargained for.
I had the best seat in the house, directly in front of the stage, and I can't lie and say I didn't get a little geeked when Paul asked me to hold his bass. Not to say that I expect anyone to remember me, but, well...let's just say I'm glad nobody got shocked when the water spilled.
Anywho, I just wanted to say thanks for giving me and my Mom, the lady who gave birth to me and my love of all things Liverpuddlian, a really great show. And, since I still have not been able to give my heart to Sir Paul himself, I figured it was ok to do the next best thing.

Hi there--
I just got to see my first BE show at the Glenbard South performance, and now I'm really glad that I got to go! I'll say that I was most impressed with "She Loves You" because that was my first Beatles song when I was little. Thanks to everyone for making friends with me. If you still remember, I'm Laura who hung around with Sarah afterwards. Note to John, you said that I could e-mail you and you'd try to send me your story..? I'd absolutely love to read it.

Hey Guys,
I just had the chance to see you Friday night at The Edge and you were phenomenal. This was my first chance to catch you since your Beatlefest victory last year, where I was equally impressed (and couldn't wait to catch a full set). I'm a 34 year old, second generation fan who's seen many Beatle tribute acts since the age of ten, but British Export is in a league way above the rest. From the attention to detail (all the gear looked and sounded awesome) to the look, energy and humor, everything was immaculate. The singing was great, particularly the harmonies, and the between song banter was dead on. I loved the backwards pacing of this particular show and the emphasis on the rockin' side of the band. Jim really locked into the feel (and unique Ringo fills), John's vocals were incredible, Gavin couldn't be any more George (and his solo "Gently Weeps" was beautiful), and ambidextrous Paul was perfect (I still can't believe you were able to teach yourself left-handed bass - and still sing!). Most importantly, you guys really captured the fun and created a wonderful atmosphere. Please keep me posted on future shows!
Admiringly,

have you back soon...I hope you will. I's seen other

Paul, Gavin, Jim, and John,
You all are outstainding! My friends and I were at your show on saturday in Sauget IL. It was a frightening hassle to get there, but oh man was it worth it! So what if we got lost in East St. Louis...no biggie! We would definitly do it again to see you four! If you remember us, we were the obnixious ones in the front screaming "I love you (insert any one of your names here, (becasue we heart you all))& "Blackbird"! You guys made our night...we had a blast! It's only been one day sinse the concert and we're all already singing our favorite songs from saturday non stop! All I can say is...AMAZING! You are awesome! Rock on!

Hey I saw your show at Pops and it was great. I just wanted to say to george or gavin that you are really good guitar player and you are really cute to, but hopefully you guys will come back here so bye.

You guys were amazing last night. Even though I went to the concert solo I really enjoyed myself. Your performance really made me feel like I had stepped back in time and had the pleasure of seeing my favorite band of all time LIVE!!!!!
I think what you guys do is really great it means a lot to those of us who were not given the opportunity to see The Beatles live or even to experience Beatlemania. Your dedication to the band gives us that opportunity to relive the formation of true legends. Thanks boys!
I was also wondering if you could help fulfill a dream I share with many others around the would..........
I was on the Internet today and was wondering if you would help me with something. Will you please sign this petition and ask everyone that you possibly can to sign this and tell them to ask everyone they know to sign it and so on....
I think this is one of the best ideas going around especially given the circumstances we are facing today and it really means a lot to me. Please help me and everyone else in the world. This petition is for hopefully making a love and peace day on every October 9 in remembrance of what John Lennon stood for. The petition must have 10 million signatures on it by 2005. Please go to this site and sign, spread the word around. The web-site is www.john-lennon.com/petition/
With a little help from my friends I know this could become a reality.
Thank you!
Love,
Amy
