ABOUT

THE HITS OF THE BEATLES WITH A SPRINKLING OF SPICE.

The Bhangra Beatles are not your average Beatles tribute band. The 7 piece fuse the songs of The Beatles with the high octane beats of traditional Punjabi folk music and Bhangra, to create a sound that is truly unique and guaranteed to fill any dancefloor.

The band was formed by Sanjay Majhu and David Tonner in 2016 through their love of all things Beatles. The duo began regularly jamming, gradually introducing other musicians into the mix until they found their sound. On a whim they decided to experiment by incorporating traditional Indian instruments the Tabla, Dhol and Sitar into a few songs, it was a risk that worked, the drums added a vibrancy and rhythm to the songs that was infectious, giving the band a sound that was unmistakenly their own.

2018 has been a big year for the Bhangra Beatles with gigs spanning the length and breadth of Scotland. Audiences at Oran Mor, Canada Wood, OVO Energy Tour Series, Edinburgh Mela and Best of the West Festival were taught to Bhangra dance to Beatles music whilst the band played Beatles hits such as: ‘Saw Her Standing,’ Eight Days a Week,’ ‘Back in the USSR,’ ‘Hard Day’s Night’ and Can’t Buy Me Love.

"Arguably the Saturday show was stolen by the colour, noise and drama of the Bhangra Beatles – with Fab Four favourites handed an Indian twist of spice."
