Rumours have been ciculating for a little while but there seems to be some confirmation on illuminatingepcot.com that the Beatles Tribute band, The British Invasion have not had their contract renewed by Disney. The band is expected to finish on the weekend of 30th April having been resident there for 14 years. It will be sad to see them go and hope that this is merely a rumour. The band, focusing on 60s music, mostly the Beatles have played several shows daily in the UK Pavilion’s Rose Garden.
We will get back to you as soon as we know any more
UPDATE
The British Invasion has posted a message to fans on their Facebook page which is posted below:
To Our Fans.
First thanks to all the fans of the British Invasion for all their support over the years!!
It has been an honor to perform for you and Disney all these years!
We have given our notice to Disney Talent and Casting that we wouldn’t be playing after April 30th some time ago. We will be back to play at Disney from time to time and you will find those future dates posted on the British Invasion Facebook page!! Stay tuned for a british invasion fan appreciation party in May and details of our first concert appearance in downtown Orlando on May 14th.
Sincerely,
The British Invasion 2011
