Members
The members of the group decided which member would portray which Beatle based on the instrument played. "I was a guitarist, so the natural thing was the John or the George character," says Tom Work, who portrays George Harrison. "The way I got into it was, the fellow playing John Lennon joined a band that was a local Beatles tribute act. This was around 1981. After about a year, he got his buddy to join and play Paul, and I was friends with him. About a year later, he got me to join and play George." The complete lineup includes:
Mark Benson: as John Lennon
Graham Alexander: as Paul McCartney
Tom Work: As George Harrison
Bobby Potter: As Ringo Starr
Gary Grimes, the original Paul McCartney for the band, died after a long battle with brain cancer in 2010.
