PATTAYA MAIL 5 October 2001 Better Band Back - better come again ! The Better Band got the crowd to their feet at Shenanigans The Better Band, the Bangkok Beatles cover band, was back in Pattaya last week, and it was not only the “oldies” that packed Shenanigans Pub that night. Many of the younger society people were seen bopping away to music that was written in some cases before their mothers were born. Shenanigans Landlord Kim Fletcher (left) shows off his 5 o’clock shadow - on his head - to Walter Tenisch, executive chef of the Royal Cliff. That the Beatles’ music lives on could be seen with some patrons getting up and showing the youngsters what real rock and roll dancing was all about, while the youngsters followed with the same amount of enthusiasm. Beatles style fashionable long hair was also in evidence, other than on the head of landlord Kim Fletcher, whose tonsorial extravaganza left him with something approaching 5 o’clock stubble on his scalp! Beatlemania will remain until the Better Band returns. Better make it soon, Kim Fletcher !
