A popular tribute act is bringing one of pop music's best-loved bands back to the stage next month.
The Fab Fourever is a Beatles tribute band that's headlining a fundraiser at Cascades Casino in support of Langley Lodge.
They look and sound like the real thing, according to their fans.
The B.C.-based act covers the Liverpudlian lads' greatest hits, from the Cavern Club era to the psychedelia of Abbey Road and Let It Be.
The Fab Fourever stars Jody Tennant as Paul, Kevin Davey as John, Jean-Luc Perron as George, Paul Kaszonyi as Ringo, with Blake Mackay on keyboards and piano.
Presented by Langley Lodge Auxiliary to the Langley Care Society, the show is Sunday, June 9 (5 p.m.) at Langley Cascades Casino Summit Theatre. There's also a silent auction.
Langley Lodge is a not-for-profit accredited healthcare facility providing complex care and services to seniors. It has 139 beds and has 24-hour nursing staff.
"It's mainly for seniors," says Damien Lawson, vice president of the Langley Lodge Auxiliary, who adds the facility has 139 beds and 24-hour nursing staff. "But we also have young people who require that level of care."
The facility was recently granted exemplary status by Accreditation Canada, making it one of five such complexes in the country, Lawson said.
Year-round, the auxiliary raises money for Langley Lodge through plant sales, raffles, a concession at the Langley Cruise-in and more.
The auxiliary's biggest fundraiser of the year is the annual gala in October.
Net proceeds from the matinee concert will help purchase essential nursing equipment: two ceiling lifts.
Each lift cost about $5,000. "We're hoping to get a couple," Lawson said.
Tickets are $30 from Cascades Casino (604-530-2211), Langley Lodge and Valley Evergreen Pharmacy.
