A few months ago BBC Radio Manchester DJ Mike Sweeney came to watch us play at the Cavern Club and we asked him to join us on stage for a song. And he did! We filmed and recorded the whole thing and would now like to share it with you all :)

Mike has been a huge supporter of our music ever since we came to England and we thank him from the bottom of our hearts! You can tune in to his show on BBC Radio Manchester every week day from 9-12 pm and on Sundays from 12-15 pm.

Enjoy and stay groovy,
Mona and Lisa

On the bass: James Rookyard
On the drums: Jake Brown

Filmed at:
Cavern Club
10 Mathew St, Liverpool, Merseyside L2 6RE

I gotta say for any guy at any age (much less 72 y/o) singing this song in the same key as the Beatles is worthy of high praise! Awesome dude and with fabulous backup singers/band to boot!!

[rasputinu]

This vocalist absolutely rocks and the backing vocals are also excellent.

[BenjWarrant]

Mona with her hair streaming in the wind from the fan - what a rock goddess!

[cliffmoher]

Everything these ladies do just puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart.

[MrBuckre]

MonaLisaTwins the pearls of the Cavern.

I just discovered the twins a few weeks ago. In those weeks, I have gone down their rabbit hole and not been disappointed once with the music. This rendition, however, is unbelievable! I was in no way expecting Mike to add so much. I've come to anticipate how good Mona and Lisa will recreate the song they are covering, but this guy Mike...WOW!! Kinda quiet and shy at the intro, then...goes nuts! Does a terrific job to compliment the girls' music. Great song, great rendition! Also, love the infusion of the old dancing video. Thanks for recording and uploading this! Peace...

Perfect face for radio but absolutely stunning performance Mike

For this and many other beautiful songs of the Beatles, which I hear from my young age, precisely the year 1978, when I was 14 years old I started to listen to Beatles, and I never stopped, really are songs that will be heard by all generations.

I love this!!!! This guy NAILS it!!! he's waited most of his life to get to sing in a band and here he is doing it at the origin point of it all. This band has all the pieces required and the girls are doing fantastic. I LOVE IT!!!

[johndean]

That was beyond just pretty good. Great sound together on that track Mona Lisa gals and Mike. You haven't lost the rockin' excitement in your voice that this song needs to deliver Mike!

[philbfree]

Kudos to Mike for his great vocals & enthusiasm. Of course, the MLT are the perfect backup singers & musicians. Thanks for reviving the classics of the 60s & 70s.

[hanslindquist]

This is what music is about!Fun and happiness

[sunking]

I haven't seen all the videos from the twins, but, every one I have seen are "top notch quality."  I really enjoy these two women and their musicianship.

[TruePatriot]

I've got tears (of joy) in my eyes, and I'm a hardcore, '70's Rock 'n Roll (Zeppelin, AC/DC, Bowie, Neil Young, etc...) LIBERAL Boomer! LOL And I LOVE the special harmonies and vocal flourishes these ladies put on their joyful interpretations of the classics. Just found you stars today and I couldn't be HAPPIER! All the BEST!!! Muah! ;-)

[dm]

I love this music and what I find more amazing is these tribute bands play this music that was hip before they were born!

[peternewman]

What a great pleasure it has been to find you two gorgeous talented girls singing lots of my favourite songs, I'm absolutely spellbound by your talents. I've just bought one of your albums and I can't stop listening to it. I hope that you both have a long and very successful career, Peter
