Worked long and hard on this -- rehearsed over a year before recently launching. I would greatly appreciate your expert opinions of this effort. Thanks. YouTube video of AfterFab - The Beatles Solo Years:

Hello BeatleAdamDavid and welcome to the forum.
The promo is very impressive! Clearly a lot of hard work has gone into this band. Are you the guitar player? I was looking forward to your solo on Juniors Farm but it never came! However I found it on your website as a demo. Great solo! That coda bit at the end of the song, is your lead singer singing that bit or is it another band member?
Anyway, the only issue for me with the promo is that there wasn't enough focus on the guitar! But that's just a personal opinion as I'm a guitar player myself! I would have thought you would been gigging a few times a week with a band and promo like that. Are you just concentrating bigger shows? You should try and get on Beatleweek in Liverpool next year. I think you would go down a storm!
Anyway, great band!

Hello BeatleAdamDavid ! Great Video . I enjoyed every song . People seem to forget just how good The Beatle Solo stuff really is and you could make a great Tribute career out of it . As Mr Mustard said . You would go down a storm at The Beatle Week. Hope we see you there in the future .

Hi mrmustard - thanks for the encouragement! Yes, me on guitar. Ruthless editing for a promo, you know, trying to get the best-known 30-40 seconds of songs in there, so no solos. Yes, lead singer wailing at the end of Junior's Farm. We *just* started booking bar gigs, but the intent is to play concert clubs and theaters, as you guessed, if the concept is successful. Seeking second guitarist now, too.
Master of Nonsense, I completely agree. The Beatles produced 200 great tracks. I think there are nearly as many very strong solo songs, but they are amid something like 600 total in the solo canons. A lesser hit ratio, but no less genius. : )

New complete-song video for "It Don't Come Easy" has live-in-studio audio mixed with studio and live video. Interest in the solo-Beatles-only has been strong, thank goodness!

Hello BeatleAdamDavid, just watched your promo and have to say I was really impressed and would echo what the other guys have said about you being good for Beatleweek, I'd definitely watch you!!! Good luck!

Thanks a lot, bluemeaniepaul74. No interest from Beatles-themed event planners, but local response to the solo Beatles music has been great beyond expectation. Really surprising the number of people who sing along to every tune, and say things like, "so cool that you play Eat At Home!" or "Junk" or "Devil's Radio" or "Jealous Guy," etc. So many great songs. Was very happy to have done a double bill recently with a Beatles band so cool that among their first five songs were "Savoy Truffle," "Glass Onion," and "I Dig A Pony." : )
