With their witty Beatles-esque banter and voices that harmonize wonderfully, they always get the crowd up on their feet dancing and singing along. The Return has performed all over the world including the Cavern in Liverpool, as well as Abbey Road Studios in London. In Japan they h0eadlined the 40th-anniversary celebration of the Beatles visit to Tokyo. In Hermosillo, Mexico they debuted their “Sgt Peppers & Beyond” show in front of over 10,000 fans.
