The Bootleg Beatles
Following the final show of the West End musical Beatlemania, Barreau formed The Bootleg Beatles with fellow cast members Neil Harrison and David Catlin-Birch. The band invested their dwindling finances in two guitars – an Epiphone and a Gretsch – as well as two Vox amplifiers, four black polo-necks and a wig.[1]
Barreau's last gig was at Hyde Park in London on 13 July 2014.
After Barreau's departure, there are currently no original members touring as the Bootleg Beatles.
