The Beatless

Regular visitors to Beatleweek will know that we're rather fond of facts and figures, and following last years record of the furthest distance travelled by a Beatles Tribute band to attend Convention (The Zeatles: 11582 miles) we are this year, delighted to present the worlds most northernmost Beatles Tribute band, from Alta, Norway - The Beatless!

Beatlefans since childhood, the four members of The Beatless have only been playing together since October 2002 but have already played at the Norwegian Beatles Festival in Trondheim, the Bourges Festival in France and a variety of other musical events in Norway. Featuring Bjørn Conrad Berg as John, Kjetil Linnes as Paul, Håvard Pedersen as George and Kai Henning Skimelid as Ringo, The Beatless show spans the Beatles entire recording career with songs ranging from She Loves You to Helter Skelter, I Feel Fine to Something. On stage they wear replica Shea Stadium jackets, play instruments by Rickenbacker, Gibson, Hofner, Gretsch and Ludwig and Kjetil has even been teaching himself to play his violin bass left-handed to ensure that The Beatless are as authentic as they can possibly be.
