HELP!

HELP Hommage aux Beatles

After a huge success last year, HELP! is back with an even more spectacular show!

Founded in 1999, and soon approaching the 1200th concert mark, HELP! is by far the most popular Beatles tribute act in Canada. HELP! has appeared at Casino’s in the Caribbean in Canada and in the US, at concert halls and festivals across eastern Canada and at hundreds of corporate and other private events, including in Panama and Mexico.

HELP! – Norman Di Blasio (John), David Paul Neil (Ringo), Ronald Stutz George) and Pascal Tirapani (Paul) – are pleasantly surprised at how much busier HELP! keeps getting year after year. And their fan base is quite varied; they are of course extremely popular amongst the baby-boomers, but their concerts also draw many 12 to 45 year olds; the younger generations find the

Beatles hip and current! Even children know the repertoire – and even the lyrics! The fab four members of HELP! have always paid close attention to detail; the tone of the voices, the crisp harmonies, the exact guitar, drum, keyboard and bass parts, the custom tailored grey and black suits, the Sgt-Pepper and Abbey Road outfits, the hair, the instruments – It all has to look and sound as Beatle-like as possible. Bass player Pascal even relearned to play bass left-handed, as Sir Paul is left-handed!

In addition to HELP!’s look and authentic Beatle-sounding voices, stunning three-part harmonies and Beatlesesque musicianship, the way they convey the spirit and the spunk of the Beatles live shows also deserves a lot of the credit for their success. They receive many emails from fans telling them how much they loved the show, and how days later they are still excited and about having been there. They want the band to know how much fun they had, and that they feel like they’ve seen and heard The Beatles in person. The member of HELP! find this extremely gratifying!

Since 2010, these fine 4 have also been the band for the Beatles Story production, in over 200 concert halls in Quebec, including the Bell Center, and for the Beatles Story Band’s Orchestra! 45 hall tour including 3 nights at Place Des Art and 2 nights at La Maison Symphonic (home of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra), featuring a 12 piece orchestra backing up the band.

Whether they are performing at a Casino in St. Maarten, Halifax, Edmonton, in the U.S. or in Montreal, at the F1 Grand Prix celebrations or at corporate events for corporate clients such as Pratt & Whitney, Merck, Ernst and Young or Bombardier, or one of the many fundraisers HELP! Has taken part of, HELP!’s goal is to make sure that everyone in the audience has a fantastic time, and goes home feeling like they’ve lived that “Beatles in concert” experience – and in an interactive way; the crowds are usually on their feet dancing and singing along the whole time!

Espace St-Denis’ Studio-Cabaret’s distinctive 180-degree LED screens offer extraordinary visual quality and will provide an immersive experience.
