Let me introduce to you… Ellie!

Ellie with Ray Davies

Name: Ellie Wilde

Location: Manchester

Favourite Beatles Album: Just one? I adore three at the moment; The Beatles, Abbey Road and With The Beatles. If I * have * to pick one though, it’d be With The Beatles – my first one, and it contains the song that made me fall for Paul… Hold Me Tight!

Favourite Beatles Tribute Band: British Export/ Blue Meanies

Most memorable Beatles Tribute band gig/event and why?!: The recreation of the “Run Devil Run” concert in the Cavern. It brings back a lot of fantastic memories of singing (if that’s what you can call it…) guitar riffs, dancing away with friends and out of tune chorus’!

Favourite non-Beatles bands: I’d have to say The Kinks – particularly their 60’s output, but I adore the John Dalton/ John Gosling and Bob Henrit/Jim Rodford/ Ian Gibbons line-ups too!

Other favourites: General 60’s stuff – The Who, The Small Faces, The Action, Maple Oak, Mowtown (particularly Kim Weston at the moment…), Northern Soul – the list is endless!

Most over-used quote or phrase: I * dreamt * Yesterday. I woke up and there was a tune running through my head…
