And 'Rubber Soul' DESCRIPTION:The Dung Beatles: 60th Anniversary of ‘Help!’ And ‘Rubber Soul’\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Dung Beatles: 60th Anniversary of ‘Help!’ And ‘Rubber Soul’\n\n\n\nThe Dung Beatles are regarded as one of the best Beatles bands in the UK and indeed the world. Formed in Aylesbury in 2013 the band has created a big fanbase\, having played extensively in the UK and France. \n\n\n\nThe 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 Friars Aylesbury’s 50th Anniversary year\, they headlined the Waterside playing the Abbey Road album in its entirety. \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nThe Dung Beatles: 60th Anniversary of ‘Help!’ And ‘Rubber Soul’\n\n\n\nThe band is Steve Hillier (guitars/vocals)\, Phil Toler (bass/harmonica/vocals)\, Danny Prendergast (guitars/vocals)\, Mike Ashton (drums/vocals) and Martin Kent (keyboards/vocals). Their joyous live performances\, which feature superb harmonies and attention to musical detail (without any use of backing tracks or programming)\, are the hallmarks of their success. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £18.70 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nFriday 03 October 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nMain auditorium \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Aylesbury Waterside Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAylesbury Waterside Theatre is a stunning modern venue at the heart of Buckinghamshire’s cultural scene. \n\n\n\nOpened in 2010\, its striking wooden interior takes inspiration from the rolling Chiltern Hills\, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
