About Beach Boys Britain

The Beach Boys c. 1990

Originally we were known as "the Breakaways", a small group of Beach Boys fans who got together in order to exchange information. Due to an increasing number of enquiries about us, after my appearance on TV ('Surprise, Surprise' in 1996) and really by demand, we have grown in a very short space of time and become "international"! There would seem to be more than a few like-minded people out there who feel the need for current information, as we do.

We are officially recognised by, and have direct contact with, Brian Wilson�s Management, Al Jardine�s Family & Friends and The Beach Boys Management (along with their �blessings�, no less!) and this enables us to take a generally more proactive approach, although we believe that we are very much �free thinking� in our approach! Our aim is to provide current information and articles in the form of a Newsletter, which is mailed to our members on a regular basis. Extra �Bulletins� will be issued between Newsletters when necessary and input from members is not only welcomed but also appreciated and encouraged.

In addition, we organise several �Get-Togethers� around the country each year for those of us not content to just sit and read about the group, but who want to hear live music and participate in same. )ther features of these events are quizzes, Question and Answer sessions, CD and Video stalls and best of all, meeting a group of like-minded people and maybe making new pals. We also run harmony workshops at some of these venues, which are proving to be very successful and we intend to keep these as part of the BBB Agenda. The sheer fun and spirit of keeping the music alive is what�s important, in any form. We hope you agree with these sentiments!

Our members receive regular, informative Newsletters, opportunities to come and join us on our �roadshows� held more locally, occasional special offers just for members and details of the member of the BBB Committee living closest to you. We positively encourage you to participate as much (or as little !) as you want. We have our own website and Message Board, which is frequently visited by Bruce Johnston, Billy Hinsche and others connected with group past and present

We look forward very much to welcoming you on board
