Dung Beatles celebrate Sgt Pepper's 50th on the BBC - Listen Saturday

Turn in to BBC radio Saturday June 3 to listen to the Dung Beatles.

This week they recorded 7 songs from Sgt Pepper in a session at the BBC.  This band is local from Buckinghamshire and a personal favorite of our committee.  

The broadcast is this Saturday between 12 and 1 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the album’s release. The band worked really hard and it was quite a tricky set up for the sound engineer but it worked . Tune in listen for yourself at www.bbc.co.uk/threecountiesradi
