Blog#9: A special place

Name: Shuhei Hamada

 

I'll introduce a special place I've been to. The place is the Beatles bar in Roppongi called "Abbey Road". I've been there this summer and had great experience. In the bar, "The Parrots", the Beatles tributed band, performs just like the Beatles, but perhaps the band  play better than the original. And the band is friendly to famous musicians, for example, "Oasis", "Paul Gilbert", "Arctic Monkeys" and so on. To my surprise, "The Beach Boys" came to the bar few days before I went there. Fortunately, I could talk with a member of "The Parrots" after their performance and I said to him that I also had the Beatles tribute band, so he gave me advice and his pick. I was too glad. Moreover, I took a picture with them.  

And I took an offer to join the next year "The Beatles Convension" from the Abbey Road bar's manager. In this event, amateur beatles bands can come to the stage. But my band need to pass the audition to perform there. So,  I'll practice the Beatles' tunes every day for this event.
