Not yet quite celebrating their 10th Anniversary of Beatleweek appearances, but check back in 6 years time as this Illinois band are becoming a bit of a fixture here. At least, some of the members are… Davey Justice, the founding member of British Import (as they were originally known) has rejoined in the role of Paul. Davey has just completed a 5-month stint in Las Vegas as the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino with the Legends of Yesterday Show. Of course, with Davey playing Paul, you may be wondering what's happened to Paul Lynch... well he's swapping names and roles, reverting to his given first name James (he really is James Paul!) and he's trading his Hofner bass for a Rickenbacker guitar and taking on the role of John! He's been told for many years that he'd make a great 'Lennon' and now he's finally succumbed to the pressure to move from stage right to stage left! Completing the line-up are fellow founding member Jim 'Ringo' Martin, with the most famous face furniture in Beatledom, and Gavin Pring - who can, of course, also be seen at Beatleweek with George Harry's Son.
The Chicago four played at Ohio's Abbey Road on the River a couple of weeks ago, and now are back in Liverpool for to unveil their new line-up. Welcome to James, Davey, Gav and Jim - the all-new British Export!
