The Rutles, a spoof of the iconic rock group the Beatles, have announced dates for a May UK tour.
The Rutles was the brainchild of Neil Innes, former member of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, and Monty Python star Eric Idle. The four official members of the Rutles were DirkMcQuickly (Idle), Ron Nasty (Innes), Stig O’Hara (Ricky Fataar) and Barry Wom (John Halsey), parodies of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and RingoStarr, respectively.
Initially created for a comedy sketch in Idle's UK television series Rutland Weekend Television, the Rutles gained international fame after being the focus of the 1978 mockumentary television film, All You Need Is Cash.
