YOUNG people throughout Worcestershire are set to benefit from a special one-off charity night.

For one night only the Upbeat Beatles will be at Malvern ’s Forum Theatre to support local small charity - EIL UK - on the eve of its 80th anniversary.

The landmark concert will be Saturday, September 5, and all proceeds will help young local people to broaden their perspectives and horizons and build more positive communities.

EIL UK - Experiment in International Living - is a charity based in Malvern and is the UK member of a global movement that began life in 1932. Together 23 EIL offices around the world form a global federation that is recognised as a Peace Messenger organisation by the United Nations.

Working with people of all ages, each year EIL UK welcomes hundreds of international visitors to the UK and prepares our volunteers to travel abroad.

The project it will fund is Fair Play, an innovative project for ten young people (aged 15-17) to explore the issues that affect them such as racism and intolerance through the medium of sport and in particular their common interest of football, rugby, or cricket.

It is aimed specifically at hard to reach groups of young people from different social and ethnic backgrounds who are suffering some form of disadvantage, including those not in education, employment or training, those with unsecure housing situations or at risk of offending.

The stars of the night, the Upbeat Beatles, are second to none – powerhouse vocals, precision harmonies and tight musicianship.

They have an easy, happy rapport with any crowd, giving them a reputation to be envied as the best in the business. There isn’t a band to touch them – eight bars of Twist and Shout and you will know why! No other band can perform this song like the Upbeat Beatles!

The show takes you through the Fab Four’s long and winding road from the early Cavern days through Beatlemania, America, Sergeant Pepper to Abbey Road, with narrative and full multi-media presentation.

Tickets are on sale at the Box Office 01684 892277 or via EIL directly 01684 562577. Alternatively book online at malvern-theatres.co.uk using promo code BEATLES for an exclusive discount!
