Pete Best Direct from Liverpool, Pete Best and The Pete Best Band. Pete's career in the music biz spans 5 decades. He played with The Beatles and joined them with their first recording contract (Decca Records) at EMI studio, but was dismissed from the group, still clouded with mystery to this day. Following Pete's dismissal from The Beatles on August 16, 1962, he was immediately approached by Rory Storm & The Hurricanes. They wanted him to take Ringo's place, who had ironically replaced Pete in The Beatles. Pete declined. He finally settled into a new role with Lee Curtis and The All Stars, eventually becoming Pete and the All Stars and today it's all about The Pete Best Band. They deliver the raw, thumping intensity of the Beatles' savage sound during the early sixties. Right from the first downbeat, you'll be immersed in nostalgia, listening to 'the best years' of The Beatles, 1960-62. They are the perfect show stopper and headliner of this stellar event, The Beatles Invasion ... 50 Years Later. Music In M'Ocean, The Hard Rock Cancun and main sponsor, Joe Johnson's Beatle Brunch are proud to have The Pete Best Band on stage for this Memorable Musical Mutha.

'Doctor' Denny plans to conduct his signature Drum Clinic for all VIP's demonstrating the intricacies of his "4 corner" drum technique. Sharing the main stage with L J and Band On The Run will be a sumptuous sight and sweet sound to a sense of hearing, not to mention believing that all these cats are hangin' with you for a musical extravaganza.

	Tim Piper Tim Piper's Just Imagine is not to be confused with a 1930 science fiction musical comedy, although it is a musical. In perfect Rock'nRoll style this Just Imagine, circa 2013, features the Best of John Lennon in a well-executed, thoroughly entertaining music-history tutorial delivered by Lennon virtuoso, Tim Piper and his band with Sir Greg Broham Piper on Bass, Les The Duke of Skins on Drums, Lord Morley playing keyboards & percussion and Don The Viceroy of Guitar on the Gibson Les Paul. The show is amazing. The Lennon Songbook is delivered just as if John was overseeing the performance, nothing short of perfection and musical genius. Just Imagine has played for audiences all over the world and now will be exclusive and integral to The Beatles Invasion ... 50 Years Later. You must not miss it. Tim and his Band will be on hand to mingle and hob-nob with all holders of a VIP Backstage Pass. NOW do you wanna buy a couple?	Mark Hudson Grammy Award Winning Songwriter for Aero Smith's Living On The Edge and music producer of Ringo Starr’s 11 hit albums, the refreshingly off-beat, colorful, zany and often lovable Mark Hudson will entertain you with his brilliant music and celebrity stories. He can charm you with his wit and make you cry laughing with his humor, but only it only takes one brief encounter to know there's a genuine, easy to talk to guy beneath all the color. This will be Mark's 3rd appearance in a Music In M'Ocean event and by popular demand he'll be offering songwriting lessons again. Mark helped Lee H., one past student, discover a melodious hidden gem in a poem she wrote about John Lennon and he transformed it into a fabulous full blown recording that may be heard on the radio. When Hudson's involved you'll never know what will happen. Above all his presence will be a delightful addition to the star-studded line up and his intimate performance in concert will be certainly a thrill!

	Shannon Award-winning fine artist and illustrator, Shannon (MacDonald) has become as familiar as the internationally recognized celebrities she showcases in her exquisite paintings. She was heralded “The World’s Greatest Beatles Artist” by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool.

In 2009 Shannon became The Cavern Club's official artist. She was inducted into The Cavern Club Hall of Fame in 2010, the first time a non-musician was rewarded. A plaque with the title "The World's Greatest Beatles Artist" and her 10' by 10' painting of The Beatles is now part of the Cavern Club structure. In 2012, The Cavern unveiled a brand new section appropriately named - The Shannon Gallery. In 2014, come face-to-face with Shannon’s art on display and encounter raw talent, first hand during her art demonstrations throughout the gala event	Jim Berkenstadt The Rock And Roll Detective®, a true Sherlock Holmes, Jim Berkenstadt uncovers the lost history and mysteries hidden within decades of popular music.
