British Invasion Over
I read on another Disney news site that the British Invasion will no longer be playing after the end of this month. Their contract was not renewed. Also, details of any replacement band are unclear at this point. I'm quite disturbed by this news. It's hard for me to imagine the Great Britian pavilion without some Beatles music.
Anyone else know anything about this?

I love these groups as well. I know over the years there have been at least 3-4 different groups, so I'm hoping they will just replace this agency with a similar one. They always get decent crowds who seem to enjoy them, us included.

I for one will be very curious to see how this plays out. While it's certainly possible that there's an entertainment change coming to the UK Pavilion, it could simply be that they aren't on the calendar until their contract is renewed (similar to non-Disney owned restaurants not on the dining plan/TiW lists until they re-up their agreement). I guess we'll find out shortly . . . did anyone else notice that Off Kilter is not on the May calendar either?
If you look at the June entertainment calendar for Epcot, many of the standard acts in the various World Showcase Pavilions are not yet on the schedule including these two popular bands - hence why I'm a bit skeptical until an official announcement is posted.

so long friends
From The British Invasion Facebook page...
To Our Fans.
First thanks to all the fans of the British Invasion for all their support over the years!!
It has been an honor to perform for you and Disney all these years!
We have given our notice to Disney Talent and Casting that we wouldn’t be playing after April 30th some time ago. We will be back to play at Disney from time to time... and you will find those future dates posted on the British Invasion Facebook page!! Stay tuned for a british invasion fan appreciation party in May and details of our first concert appearance in downtown Orlando on May 14th.
Sincerely,
The British Invasion 2011
Sure looks like it's over for the BI. So sad. They were by far my favorite entertainers in Epcot. I can only hope a quality replacement is found soon. Hopefully before my May trip.

Thanks for the post MOJoe. Sometimes it is the entertainer that wants to leave not Disney dropping their contract. As a matter of fact, on another site the group reports that they were offered a contract but decided to try the corporate and convention route instead. That's the kind of thing entertainers do when contracts are up for renewal, look at the options and decide their own future.

Well, we know that all they need is cash so maybe they will.
I'm going to miss this band. I always loved grabbing a beer and sitting and listening to them. Even more, when my daughter was about four I was doing such and my daughter was dancing to "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" when Winnie the Pooh walked up behind her, tapped her on the shoulder and started dancing with her. Trip made in one moment.

Sad. I loved getting a beverage in France and enjoying the show!

"The British Airwaves"?
An Entertainment site now lists
"The British Airwaves".
Not sure how much it will be the same . . . .
On the EPCOT Live Entertainment for May 1 - 7, 2011 it says "The British Airwaves".
"British rock-n-roll from the 60s to the 80s.
Tuesday-Friday at 3:00, 4:30, 6:00, 7:00 & 8:00pm
Saturday at 3:00, 4:30, 6:00 & 7:00pm
Length of show: 20 minutes"
So . . . let's hope someone will post on Tuesday (I'd check them out were we able to be in Fl, this week . . ..)
