Some of the songs they wrote have been covered more than any other songs in the history of modern music-their music is as popular today as it was five decades ago and it is fitting that this show is dedicated to the songs of Lennon-McCartney and some Harrison,50 years after the release of The Beatles first single ‘Love Me Do’ on October 5th 1962.From jazz to orchestra,from lullaby versions and independent rock versions to latin variations,from SarahVaughn to Katie Noonan(pic.right) to Frank Sinatra and a Cirque de Soleil show ‘LOVE‘ based 100% on their music, demonstrates categorically why the Beatles collectively and individually will be remembered as a force that changed the face of popular music forever-9o minutes today is only a taste of their music and the great legacy they leave all of us in listening pleasure and memories.

About the Author: Love my music..anything with a great melody,arranged with either a BIG orchestra or a quality acoustic guitar......I enjoy passionate performances.. by the artiste(s) -that is always the main criteria for my choice of the tracks that make up the programme.....versions of great old songs and new songs that enable a response,a smile,a memory of a time and a place,to groove a little... ...many years of executive management in the entertainment business in NZ,Australia,Asia Pacific and New York enabled me to immerse myself in music and people....my two indulgences and I hope the music each week brings you some of the same responses.
