ABOUT
Born and raised in South Wales, 17-year-old Thomas Staite has been performing Beatles music since the age of 8. Since 2021, he’s gigged at open mics across South Wales, honing his stage presence and musical instincts. After meeting Alex Wood online in May 2024, performing with Valentin Marcico at a festival in July, and connecting with William Galloway at music college in September, the full Experience The Beatles lineup came together in October 2024. With Lennon’s wit, edge, and creativity, he leads the group with vision and energy.
Hailing from Hertfordshire and now 16, Alex Wood has been performing since age 6 — first as David Bowie in his tribute act Extreme Bowie, then as George Harrison from age 8. He joined Experience The Beatles permanently in July 2024. A passionate figure in the tribute scene, Alex also draws inspiration from Oasis and especially looks up to Liam Gallagher. With expressive guitar work and a deep understanding of Harrison’s subtle artistry, Alex brings soul, edge, and authenticity to the stage.
Also 17 and from South Wales, William Galloway brings Paul McCartney’s musical brilliance and charm to the stage. He joined the band in October 2024 after meeting Thomas at music college the previous month. William also performs with Thomas in The Daytones and with Valentin Marcico in their original project, Luminol. With melodic basslines, tight harmonies, and strong vocals, he delivers the McCartney sound with style and substance.
15-year-old Valentin Marcico, from South Wales, met Thomas while performing at a festival in July 2024 and officially joined the band that October. He also plays alongside William Galloway in their original music project, Luminol. With solid, laid-back rhythm and Ringo Starr’s iconic touch, Valentin holds the band together with groove, feel, and a natural sense of fun.
About the band:
​
Formed in 2023 and based in South Wales, Experience The Beatles began with a different lineup that has since evolved into something truly special. As of October 2024, the band features four beyond-talented young musicians who bring fresh energy and deep respect to the legacy of the Fab Four.
In August 2024, they capped off International Beatleweek, the world’s biggest Beatles celebration, with a performance at Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club, a defining moment for the young group.
Every detail matters: from meticulously recreated costumes and era-accurate wigs to the instruments, harmonies, and spirit of the originals, this is a show built on passion and precision.
