John & Paul II

» Profile

John & Paul II is the collaboration of two Beatles devotees, Jon Mellor and Pasquale Caprino.

On the day that Jon was born, A Hard Days Night was No.1 in the UK charts and many years later he went on to be the bass player and vocalist of the band, Ouch! who in 1992 released their first UK single, I Need You More, featuring the retro 60's sound and characteristic vocal harmonies, for which they were to become hailed throughout the next decade.

Major success followed in Japan, where the release in 1994 of their first album, Life Goes On, spawned two No.1 singles, Can't Stop Looking At You and You Should Know By Now. The band's far eastern tours followed, seducing radio, TV and live audiences with several stunning 'unplugged' sessions built around their tight vocal harmony arrangements and including a performance of Beatles songs at Tokyo's own Cavern Club, homage to the famous Liverpool venue.

By the time Pasquale came into this world, John Lennon had already knocked on heaven's door. But he too became fascinated by the Fab Four. He is a singer-songwriter and two years ago released a debut album Wasted Time in his native Italy, featuring the McCartney-esque second single Song Of Solitude, which has since received rave reviews.

The two first met through the wonders of the internet and enjoyed their first rehearsals on Skype! As a result, Pasquale was persuaded to try his luck in England and here they are! Today John & Paul II gives you the chance to enjoy the combined talents of two Beatles nuts, performing the songs they love and which have influenced them throughout their musical careers.

Listen to John & Paul II perform Please Please Me, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Penny Lane and many other of their hits and can you honestly say that the spirit of the Beatles does not live on? John & Paul II are: Pasquale Caprino - Vocals and guitar & Jon Mellor - Vocals and bass.

» Testimonials

"I would just like to say how truly amazing the band were on the night, they were wonderful, they made our day one to remember, all out guests commented on how much they sounded like the Beatles."
- Claire & Leigh McSweeney's Wedding

"I would just like to congratulate John & Paul II on such a fantastic performance. They were absolutely amazing true professionals (even when my cousin tried to steal the show!)
Everybody commented on the band which was lovely, everyone had the best night and danced the night away. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone."
- Gillian & Dean Allen's Wedding

These guys are the best tribute act I've seen. The vocals in particular were virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. They went down a storm. If you want an authentic sound, look no further!
- Mike McGrath, Director - Speedy Hire plc

John & Paul ll are The fab two!
The boys were great - Everyone made a point of remarking on how good their act was.
