The Dung Beatles: 60th Anniversary of Help! and Rubber Soul

The band played their first Friars gig at the Waterside in March 2018, playing a set as part of the Earthly Messenger Bowie Statue unveiling concert. A year later in the Friars Aylesbury 50th Anniversary year they headlined the Waterside playing the Abbey Road album in its entirety. In 2022 Friars presented the band at two special sold out Ukraine benefit concerts in St Mary’s Church, Aylesbury which raised over £20,000 for the DEC Ukraine appeal. The Dung Beatles have also played the Beatles spiritual home, the iconic Cavern in Liverpool, on two occasions.

The Beatles Help! album was released in the UK on 6 August 1965 and their Rubber Soul album was released just 4 months later on 3 December 1965. Rubber Soul, with hits such as In My Life, Norwegian Wood, Drive My Car, Michelle and Nowhere Man is regarded by many Beatles fans to be their finest album. The Help album with hits such as Ticket to Ride, You’ve Got to Hide Yourself Away, I’ve Just Seen a Face, Yesterday and Help! was part of the soundtrack of the sixties not only in the UK but all around the world. It’s a testament to John, Paul, George and Ringo that they could write and record two such classic albums in just a few months. They were at the height of their creative powers which established them as the world’s most iconic band of the twentieth century.
