Hi everyone!
It seems appropriate that the first post on our brand new, relaunched website should be about such an influential and important band – the Beatles!
However, International Beatle Week is about a lot more than just the Beatles. It is a time, each year, when people come from all around the world to not only celebrate the legacy of one of the world’s most famous groups, but also to soak up the musical atmosphere in the birthplace of the Beatles – the city of Liverpool.
Not only do people flock to Liverpool at this time of year to experience the atmosphere, but many do so to contribute to it too.
And that is precisely what we are going to be doing!
Yes, on Saturday 27th we will be taking to the streets of Liverpool town centre to (hopefully!) entertain passers-by with some busking. Although we have been playing together for 26 years, until last year we had never actually tried busking together. So we headed over to Liverpool, found a spot on Matthew Street near the famous Cavern club and sang away for a couple of hours.
Unfortunately, I was experiencing a problem with my left wrist and this was severely affecting my playing and, in turn, my confidence, I have to be honest. So after a couple of hours we decided to call it a day.
This year we intend to do a lot better!
We’re not sure, at this stage, exactly where we’ll be, but if you make sure to follow us on social media we will try to keep you up-to-date. One thing I can tell you is that we’ll be playing plenty of songs by the Beatles, the Hollies, the Monkees, Crosby, Stills & Nash and many more!
We plan to perform for most of the afternoon, after which we will be going to see my extremely talented friends, the MonaLisa Twins perform at the legendary Cavern club in the evening. If you haven’t seen these girls perform then I highly recommend you get yourself to one of their gigs during the week. You can check out their itinerary below:
We would love for you to come and find us while we do our busking. If you do spot us, please come and say hello and be sure to tell us that you found us via our brand new website! 🙂
Hopefully see you soon!
Glenn
