HELP! travels to Wolfsberg (AUT) this Friday to play a benefit concert at Lavanttal Arena. All net proceeds will go to families and children in need! The show begins at 8pm, so don’t forget to bring the kids! Tickets are now available on OEticket, in the WAC secretariat, or directly from members of Club 41 in Wolfsberg.
HELP! BACK IN THE NETHERLANDS!
We are back in the Netherlands, playing two shows over the weekend. The first on Friday is called ‘Reunieconcert’ at the P3 Abe Lenstra Stadion in Heerenveen. The show starts at 19:30, and tickets are still on sale. This is great festival with many bands, and should be a fun one to see!
Our second show on Saturday is at the Troubadour in Hardenberg, where HELP! will perform a special acoustic set early in the evening, and then perform our usual show of all the classics till they kick us out!
HELP! WELCOMES A NEW BAND MEMBER FROM HOFNER
HELP! has a new band member. Well, sort of. Bassist Ernie Mendillo just received a new Hofner Cavern Bass as part of his endorsement agreement with the iconic bass manufacturers. The bass is an exact replica of Paul McCartney’s first bass, purchased in Hamburg in 1961. Together with his 1963 counterpart, Ernie now uses both of Paul’s basses in our shows.
“It’s the dream of every bassist who admired The Beatles to play a Hofner, but to have an endorsement deal is beyond my wildest dreams,” says Ernie. Thanks to Nick Wass from Hofner for making this happen! We’re pleased to welcome the Cavern Bass into the band!
HELP! PERFORMANCE AIRS ACROSS BELGIUM ON JOE FM!
HELP!’s on-air performance of “She Loves You,” “Help!,” “Twist and Shout,” and “Can’t Buy Me Love” that aired on JOE FM’s show “Live is Life.” This performance was part of our interview with on-air personality Nathalie Delporte on Belgium’s biggest pop radio station. This event is to promote upcoming, but still as yet unannounced concerts in Belgium in 2016. Thanks Nathalie (and the entire crew at JOE FM), and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
