Still one of the greatest bands we've ever had playing at Beatleweek, Lenny Pane were among the first bands to break the 'suits and boots' rule and incorporate more obscure songs into their sets. They have appeared at the convention on 9 occasions and have performed many memorable shows. Most notably they were the first band to play the entire Abbey Road album as part of their 1996 concert at the Philharmonic Hall, accompanied by an orchestra and in 1998 they gave a fabulous 'Past Masters Concert' at the Royal Court, which included numbers rarely performed live, even at Beatles Conventions including 'When I'm 64', 'Long Long Long' and 'Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite'.

They are all very gifted, classically trained musicians and their performances clearly showcase their extraordinary talents. The band: Micke Isacson, Goran Irhfelt, Johan Stromberg and Benny Karlsson, pay particular attention to every detail of the Beatles music and regularly bring in other musicians to recreate the exact sound. One of the best examples of this was in 1999 when, following the premiere of the digitally re-mastered Yellow Submarine film at the 'Phil', Lenny Pane recreated the songs of the film (the Yellow Submarine Songbook album had not yet been released) with a little help from a string quartet, brass and woodwind sections, some Indian musicians and Gary Gibson who added the Lennon touch to 'Hey Bulldog' and 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'. It was a truly fabulous night!

This year they will once again demonstrate their unique talents to the Royal Court Theatre with the music from the Magical Mystery Tour film as part of the Reel Years Show. The Magical Lenny Pane Tour is coming to take you away…
