We’re delighted to welcome to Liverpool for the very first time The Kazakhstan Beatles, for whom this trip to the birthplace of The Beatles is a dream come true. Kazakhstan was a republic of the former Soviet Union, finally gaining its independence in 1991. Growing up in a Socialist regime was very restricting to the members of the band, “When we were little we used to have to listen to Soviet composers. The first time I heard them, one of my teachers put on a Beatles record. When I heard it, I thought: 'Wow, does this sort of music really exist!’ It turned everything upside down, and then boom, I only moved forward and that's all we played. It is a dream for me to go to Liverpool. To go down Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields. We'd love to see it all with our own eyes, to feel it, and of course to play there. That's our dream."

The Kazakhstan Beatles will be feature in a BBC television series about Central Asia this autumn, and producer Will Daws and his crew will be following them as they finally realise their dream and play at the Cavern Club and see all those famous Liverpool landmarks.

Welcome to Liverpool, guys!!
