Description
A five-piece live band, first-hand stories and the full Lennon catalogue from Please Please Me to Imagine and Double Fantasy - 'Tyson Kelly brings Lennon back to life in this unique and mesmerising show' - Neil O'Brien Entertainment UKTyson Kelly grew up in Los Angeles with music in the blood. His father Tom Kelly co-wrote "Like a Virgin" for Madonna and "True Colors" for Cyndi Lauper. Tyson went the other direction entirely, spending fifteen years becoming only the third person ever to play John Lennon in The Bootleg Beatles since the band formed in 1980, then taking the role to Broadway in Let It Be. He has since built his own show around the Lennon solo catalogue and in October 2025 sold out the Tung Auditorium at the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre in Liverpool on what would have been Lennon's 85th birthday. That is either a remarkable coincidence or exactly the right room for the right show.Imagine Lennon runs from "Please Please Me" through the Lennon and McCartney era, into the raw honesty of the Imagine album and all the way to Double Fantasy. The set includes ten years of solo hits alongside B-sides that serious fans will recognise and first-timers will be glad to discover. Tyson brings first-hand stories and insights into the music throughout, which gives the evening a sense of what these songs actually meant to the man writing them.A five-piece live band backs the show throughout. Expect "Imagine", "Jealous Guy", "Working Class Hero" and "Woman" alongside deeper cuts from a catalogue that has never stopped mattering.Visit our 1st floor bar and heated garden terrace for pre & post-show drinks! *Subject to availability & entry chargeBOISDALE OF CANARY WHARFBest Spirits List in the World 2022 at The World Of Fine WineTop Ten restaurant wine lists in London 2022 at The World Of Fine WinePerched elegantly above Cabot Square, Boisdale of Canary Wharf offers a multi-dimensional experience across two floors with DJ Nights on weekends at the vibrant first-floor Bar & Garden Terrace, while daily live music sets the perfect ambiance on the second-floor restaurant.
