John Lennon

Gary Gibson was the founder member of ‘The Cavern Beatles’ back in 1980 along with band members Graham Pollcok, John Ward, and Andrew Swarbrick, playing at venues throughout the north. By 1981 the band began to appear in London at venues such as The Rock Garden, Dingwalls, Golden Lion, Dublin Castle, Half Moon and the Hippodrome, the band also made regular television appearances, ‘Stars In Their Eyes’ ‘Pebble Mill’ ‘The Late Late Show’ with Gay Burns, who introduced the real Beatles on Granada television back in the 1960’s, and again on a ‘Stars In Their Eyes Christmas Special’ The band also performed for a six week stint on Norway Television.

On the last Pebble Mill the ‘Cavern Beatles’ performed for George Martin who, along with Victor Spinnetti, talked about the making of ‘Hard Day’s Night’.

At a racing fraternity party Sir Elton John asked Gary if he could get up and sing with the band. “What shall we sing?” Gary asked. “Lets do that one I did with John (Lennon) at Madison Square Gardens ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ replied Elton. Afterwards, back stage, Elton commented, “I can’t believe it, you look so much like John. You’ve got to be related”!
