| Freda Kelly with Paul McCartney |
The festival will have Beatle gigs, film, theatre, free events, table quiz, public interview,
art, memorabilia and merchandise.
Festival director Stephen Kennedy describes some of the highlights of the festival below. It does sound like fun. If any of our members plan to attend, please send us your photos and reviews!
THE ROCKITS (a Cavern Club resident band) are coming
over from England – and they are going to play two sets at their show in the
Workman’s Club on Saturday, November 7th.
The first set will be the ‘Hits of the 1960s’ (The Rolling Stones, The
Kinks, The Who, The Small Faces, Elvis Presley) and their second set will focus
exclusively on the music of The Beatles.
It’s going to be one big party.
And FREDA KELLY is coming
over from Liverpool for a public interview with Tom Dunne at the Grand Social
on Sunday, November 8th. Freda worked for
The Beatles for 11 years and is the subject of the award-winning documentary Good
Ol’ Freda. As George Harrison
pointed out – “Freda was there at the very beginning and she stayed until the
very end.” This lady is wonderful. Pure and simple. The Beatles were lucky to have her.
We also have a wide range of brilliant Irish acts performing at the
festival too – including The Newspaper
Taxi Men, Vyvienne Long, Biggles Flys Again, Jonathan Ward, Enda Reilly, Duncan
Maitland, Pearse McGloughlin, Keith Grogan, The Sex Beasts, and more!
There will also be the ever popular BEATLES
TABLE QUIZ – plus FREE EVENTS
such as Lennon v McCartney (short film) and Pete Best of The Beatles (stage
play performed by Padraic McGinley). You
can also meet renowned Beatle artist Georgina
Flood – and browse rare Beatle merchandise from England’s Beatle Days.
