EPCOT UK has new entertainment - The Hooligans

[dreday3]

Does anyone know if this is a more permanent addition or if it's just temporary? I think I read they are performing 5 days a week?

I would think they will be replaced by one intermittently functioning animatronic and a screen. Much cheaper that way.

For the near future - 5 shows a day, but are dark on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Is this a musical act? Anyone seen them?

It is - here's a video from the other day when they started performing.

Does Disney have to pay anyone other than the performers to allow them to play the songs, such as the original song writers?

Disney surely has a site license with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. I'm also sure theirs is more expensive than, say, your local bar's. Songwriters definitely are getting paid.

This is good news. One of our favorite things we used to do at Epcot was grab a drink and listen to the British Revolution

Does this involve a bunch of tickeless Scousers jumping the fence?

They did the same thing again last night and then said they didn't and were innocents facing police brutality. Unfortunately for them, somebody filmed it

The name doesn’t shed the best light on British people

oddly enough this is one of the few places where I wish we could get MORE IP! I would love a Mary Poppins themed show (Pearly Band? Please!?) in this area.

I still miss the World Showcase players but I’m glad to see more atmosphere entertainment and while it’s not my “cup o tea” as the English would say, many guests do enjoy this.

Glad these guys can actually sing. The last bunch were woefully out of tune.

As a born and bred londoner I’d love to see more pearlys. It’s a part of my heritage & I’d love more people to understand about the pearly kings and queens especially as this is really a dying culture in my native east end. An exhibit somewhere in the pavilion would be great as well.

I guess they changed their name?
