| Biography |
In July 1964 The Beatles
returned to their hometown for the northern premiere of A Hard
Day’s Night. Had they held a US premiere of the film they may have
chosen to hold it in The Fab Five’s hometown; Liverpool New York
State! Looking forward to almost a week of Hard Days and Nights,
The Fab Five are thrilled to be chosen to represent our sister city
this year. The band was formed on February 9th 2001, which was of
course the 37th anniversary of the Beatles US TV debut. Gary Frenay
(rhythm guitar/bass) and Arty Lenin (lead guitar) have been friends
for over 30 years, playing in various bands including The Flashcubes
and working with the likes of U2, The Police and The Ramones. In
fact in the 70’s they were friends with a local drummer called Joe
English. Joe later joined Wings – apparently Macca thought he had
a hip last name! Guitarist Dave Novak was a teenager when he
attended the historic Shea Stadium concert and caught the Beatle
bug. Dave’s been playing ever since, and with Paul Davie
(bass/piano) and Dave Miller (drums) completing the line-up, The Fab
Five have recently played with Joey Molland of Badfinger and Terry
Sylvester of The Hollies & The Swinging Blue Jeans.We welcome
The Fab Five from Liverpool NY to Liverpool, England!
