Holy Moly! Check out the HUGE list of Beatle things going on this coming week. Tribute bands, shows, and more all crammed into 7 short days. We are trying hard to get bands to keep the list up-to-date by sending us their gig lists, but if you know of a band we are missing, email us and we will be sure to add their gigs. Here's a snapshot of what's scheduled for the next 7 days. Link to the full What's On Page.

Paul's getting Out There!

Paul has been announcing more tour dates in South America and now Japan. The list below is from our What's On Page. You can use the green button on that page to filter the list to see just Paul's concerts, or just events in your country, or even a single date. It's pretty handy.

Announcing another new feature - BBFC Interactive maps

Today the BBFC is announcing a new feature that we have added to the website. On the new "maps" tab you will find an interactive map of London with Beatles related locations pinned. The pins are categorized and the legend explains each pin type. If you click on a pin, an information box will pop up and give you more details about the significance of the site. We are adding new pins weekly so check back weekly. Remember when using the map you can zoom in and out, click and drag to see other areas and don't forget to click on the pins to see more information. Below is a peek at what it looks like, but you can visit the page and try it yourself here.

For Beatle fans planning a wedding, or a party to celebrate any special event, surely there is no better venue than the Hard Days Night Hotel in Liverpool!

The hotel is set within a classical 1880s building, in the heart of Liverpool, and is the ideal location for a truly memorable event.

Announcing the new My BBFC Android App

The BBFC now has a great new way for our members who have android devices to keep in touch and up-to-date on What's On in the world of all things Beatles!

This is the Beta version of the app and we will be making it even better over time but this first version still has a lot to offer.



 The Current Features

  • The What's On button will display the same list of events that can be found on our website.  This list is updated daily and currently lists nearly 200 events for 2014 from all over the world.
  • The Random Trivia Game button will display a random and challenging trivia question.  Once you've had time to think of your answer, you can click the check answer button to see if you got it right.
  • The My BBFC Gallery button will take you to the gallery page.  On this page you can tap the image displayed to go directly to our new Flikr gallery to see photos of our members having Beatle-fun, or better yet, use the upload button to take and upload a photo of yourself having Beatle-fun and email it to us so it can be added to the gallery.
  • The Go to the BBFC Website button will take you directly to the mobile version of our our website so you can read the latest news, click on the events in What's On to find out more details, shop in the shop and more.
We are excited to be able to offer this new feature completely free of charge and if you have ideas of features you'd like to see in the future, please email them to us.  And if your device isn't an android, we are sorry that it won't work on other devices.
