Bravo gentlemen! That was a wonderful show tonight!! By the way, this is Laura Bradshaw and I just wanted to thank all four of you for making my birthday so memorable. That was so kind of you to play the birthday song for me (and to buy me a kamikaze!). I only hope that you all come back to Lexington soon so I can come to your show again!! And next time, I'll make sure that there are people there who want to dance. Again, you are absolutely marvelous and I wish you only the best in the future. God bless!

Suzie and I cannot thank you and the lads
enough for giving us the honor of performing at our wedding. British
Export was absolutely the highlight of the evening. We are still
hearing great things from everyone who attended, even from the staff at
the Marriott, not to mention random people who popped in to hear "that
great Beatles music!" It was fabulous, and I don't think I've ever
heard the band play so well as I did that night.
We're winding down from a fantastic wedding weekend. I'm delighted to
see that you're going to be in Lexington this upcoming week. Suzie and
I would like to make the trip down on Friday for the performance as we
know we're not going to be disappointed.
Thank you again for the performance. It was wonderful to see you and
your wives (well, two of them at least!) I really hope to see you this
Friday; after all, you owe me two songs!
My best to you and the crew; take care and thank you again!
Sincerely,
--Suzanne and Matthew Rupert
GOD BLESS SUZIE AND MATT...2 OF THE GROOVIEST PEOPLE WE KNOW! BE

Dear Friends,
We enjoyed being a part of another great concert last night in Appleton. It was amazing! We first heard of British Export at Beatle Fest in Chicago a few years back, and got the pleasure to see them again here in Appleton kicking off October Fest. We're constantly impressed by the talent and excitement that these great songs bring to others when played by bands such as yours.
The newer members of British Export are a great asset!
Thanks for a nice evening, and for playing as if it were a crowd of thousands.

Dear British Export:
My husband and I just got back home not long ago from going to your concert at UK. We really did enjoy so very much. We are both the age that we remember when the Beatles first came on the scene. We think you guys are just as good, if not better than the real ones.
We have a couple of questions. First of all, as you can see since we have the email address, we have already been on your website and found out that you are really not from England, but from Chicago. We have seen several names, and would just like to know what your real names are and the person you portray, and also how long has the current group been together?
Also, when will you be coming to Kentucky again? You mentioned Louisville, but we could not understand when. We live in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, about 25 miles from Lexington.
May God bless you all real good.
Bob and Cynthia Stopher
Thanks guys! Check us out at Abbey Road on the River 2007 in Lousiville, KY, Memorial Day weekend. -BE
British Export,
I liked your show here in Lexington, KY. Thanks for coming down and showing us your Beatles imitation talent. You guys are very authentic. Your talent at playing the Beatles music is self-evident in your ease and grace with all their tunes. I especially liked the John Lennon, he was great! I hope you guys comeback.
I'm a beginning musician who loves to do Beatles covers. How hard is it to learn to cover Beatle's material and play it just like they did? How do you guys achieve their sound? Do you use tabs or your ears?
Thanks for the good time,
Justin Sandlin
I'd mostly we use our ears, as well as our eyes on the live videos. -BE

The show at Harrah's was FANTABULOUS!!!! <is that even a word? if not it should be> You guys were awesome!!!! And I had a great time!!!!
I forgot to mention your drum solo which was totally awesome!!!! That's only the second time I've ever heard you do that. I thinkyou should keep that in every performance.
Also, the next morning on 94.7 they mentioned the show at Harrah's and said that BE was very very good.

Hello Lads,
Just wanted to thank you for the great night of music. You are all very
talented musicians!!!
This was my 3rd time seeing your band perform and I have to say, 3rd time is
the charm. It is like listening to my beatle (albums) ok i'm old. I will
definately try to get to concerts when you are near my part of Indiana.
I had a wonderful time. Thanks again,

My name is Elise Diesslin, I am 16 years old and I was at your last show in Manorville MN. That was one of the best nights of my life. I could not believe how well you guys played. I don’t know if you remember, but you sang the song “Imagine” for me. I just wanted to tell you that I am so grateful for that. I know it is a John Lennon song, so I was surprised that you even sang it.
I am a total John Lennon fan, so it was cool to take a picture with your “John Lennon”. All my friends think I am strange for liking John Lennon, and a band that their parents listened to, but I will never stop liking the Beatles. I would like to see one of your shows again.
Thanks for making my night, love a very grateful fan.
Thanks again!!!!!!!

To the boys,
Thanks for putting on a great show in Mantorville, MN
at the 2006 'Beatle Bash.' The joy you bring to people
by playing the timeless music of the Fab Four is
beyond words. You were true to their music, and
extremely accomodating to the fans, which just goes to
show that you are a real class act. I had an absolute
blast and am sure that everyone in attendance feels
the same way. Hope to see you again next year (is it
too early for a request of 'Yesterday?')
Thanks again for a top-notch show!

Just also wanted to say that we saw you in Geneva at "Swedish Days", and in Elmhurst for "Elmfest" this year. Over the last couple of years, we have seen you in Downers Grove and Elmhurst!

Hey Jim 'Ringo' & guys. Just wanted to thank you all again for the great show last night at Woodson Terrace and for giving David, my boss's son, a big thrill by talking 'guitar' with him. He and I both had such a blast. A special thanks to Jimmy Pou for letting David actually handle his guitar. What a thrill for him!
Jim 'Ringo'...I will get back with you regarding linking our websites. My life partner who helps me with the technical part of the website is out of town until Tuesday night. I'll email you after that..okay? http://www.beatlebatiks.com/
One more thing....I talked to Louaine at the Beatles4Sale booth and she said that I could display some of my batiks at her shop in St. Louis and she would take orders for me. I'm excited about that ........and linking to your site as well.
Gotta go for now.....hope this email finds all of you doing well.
Thanks again for the great show. You guys get better every time I hear you.

Hey fellas,
I loved the Woodson Terrace show. I think I can say that it was my most favorite set I've heard you play. Fabulous job, the new kids loved you as always. Don't forget that you promised me a job in the band...I'm all over the cowbell on You Can't Do That : )
Sorry St. Louis was dark and quiet. We'll get to hang out after another show perhaps. Hope to see you soon!

Dear Jim (Ringo), you made us both so happy a week ago at your wonderful show at St. Raymond's in Mt. Prospect! Our mom and us thought you guys were awesome!
We will treasure the autographed stick from you! It was so great of you to let me (Eric) do a solo on your drum set! That was a once in a lifetime experience! I (Eric) can't wait to keep drumming and get to be as good as you! It is one thing for you to be such a terrific drummer but it is another thing for you to go out of your way to be so nice, too! Elise's broken ankle is slowly getting better..you made a miserable summer in a cast to be not too bad for her! Thanks, thanks, thanks. Maybe someday you can write us back. :) :) :) -Eric (age 13) and Elise (in the cast, age 10)

Hey, Just got home from your show in Palatine today. Great show, had a blast dancing. I thinks you've helped make a tribute concert fanatic out of my friend Ashley, it was her first show. Thanks for posing for the pictures, they are special memories for a crazed fan. Especially loved "Don't Want to Spoil the Party", it's one of my favorite songs and I've never heard a band play it before. Anyways, I was telling Paul I had some great photos of him from Abbey Road and I thought I would send them. Enjoy :)

Hello British Export:
I just wanted to let you know that you gave a Great Show on Saturday (June 17, 2006) night in Zumbrota, MN.
You sang a lot of my favorite songs. The best for me was "HELP'", I kept asking Paul, if the group was going to sing it and he said Yes, with a Big grin on his face.
I was very excited, that song brings back memories. When I am feeling down and prayed that one word "Help", lifts me up.
British Export, I just can't tell you how I really enjoyed the show. There isn't enough room on this page. During one of your breaks, I went home to tell my neighbors that they were missing out on a great show. They had to come and find out for themselves.
I only hope and pray that each one of you become more famous. I also hope to see you again sometime soon or next year.
From one of your
NEW FAITHFUL FANS

You guys really sounded great at the Zumbrota concert. We were the group that stood right in the front. Ringo, I was the guy that wore the orange pink floyd shirt. You told me that you listened to Dark Side of the Moon constantly. My buddies wanted to say hi too. The one owns a blue 1973 voltswagon bus. I hope to talk to you guys again at your performance on August 26th.

The show in Zumbrota was FANTASTIC. British Export has the strongest
line-up ever. You should be very proud that you have assembled a
world-class ensemble of musicians who are so capable of bringing the music
and spirit of the Beatles to LIFE! By the reaction of the crowd, it is
obvious that you are keeping their music alive in the minds of us "old
folks" and introducing it to generations of young people that will be
inspired by the message of love and peace that is the legacy of the
Beatles.
Thanks for a great time in Zumbrota! I will keep an eye on your schedule
and if you get within 200 miles of Rochester before August, I would love to
see you guys perform again before then.
We all shine on,
Dave
LOVE TO DAVE AND CINDY, FELLOW BEATLE FANS, AND TRUE FRIENDS WHO INSPIRE US TO BE THE BEST AND HAVE A TON OF FUN!
