THEY ARE THE

WALRUSES

Do you believe in Yesterday?

Yesterday … A Tribute to The Beatles will make you a believer at the Unity Centre for the Performing Arts at 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 17, on Depot Street in Unity.

This band has the Fab Four covered, right down to the period suits The Beatles wore when the British Invasion landed on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964.

The costume and wig changes, covering several phases of Beatlemania, aren’t the only aspect to which Yesterday remains true. The music sells this act as one of the best Beatles tributes in the nation.

You won’t have to worry about them singing out of tune, or standing up and walking out on them. But, they definitely get by a lot better with a little help from their friends.

So, go check out Yesterday, coming soon to a town near you.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for children. For tickets and more information, call 948-SHOW (7469).
