Liverpool Beatle Week 25 August 2000

Concerts with Liverpool, Hare Georgeson,
Banned On The Run, Los Beat 3,
The Overtures and The Beats

And yes! Here we are again, on the train from Manchester up to Liverpool and the BEATLE WEEK 2000!

The first afternoon - GREAT concerts at the new magnificent BARCELONA club.

LIVERPOOL from Sweden made a very good performance from start. But then something magic happened! Guitarist LENNART KÅGE started to play 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. So beautiful! We couldn't believe our ears! Lots of applauses! The first HIGHLIGHT! 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' should thereafter become the song of this year's Beatle Week.

HARE GEORGESON (Ric Alan) had got a very tight new band together. Nice to hear all great George Harrison songs! And so 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' again! Thank you!

Luke and Bob		Marc

BOB BARTEY (lead vocals & guitar) and MARC MOWFORTH (guitars & vocals) in BANNED ON THE RUN had three new members this year: LUKE STOCKWELL (bass), SIMON RAMSDEN (drums) and ALAN BUTTERWORTH (keyboards). A great band! BANNED ON THE RUN has never sounded better! They surely had got new self-confidence after their succesful sessions at Abbey Road Studio 2 (yes, The Beatles' studio!) earlier this week Then they recorded the lovely ballad 'Let It Grow', written by Bob's brother and wonderfully sung by Bob and with BEAUTIFUL guitars by Marc.

LOS BEAT 3 from Venezuela made a very good performance. We will forever remember the happiness in ALEXANDRA's face and AXEL's brilliant (Joe Cocker) version of 'With A little Help From My Friends'.

Again we were entertained by THE OVERTURES' mixed 60's concert. Not only The Beatles, this band can play anything! The Stones, The Who, The Kinks (wow!), The Moody Blues, The Mamas And The Papas, Wilson Pickett... And what ENERGY! This band is unsurpassed!

THE BEATS from Argentina made another visit to Liverpool. And surely satisfied their fans with a very varied show.

Me and Ulla stayed for some time and enjoyed the music. But now we had been awake for 22 hours, so after a while we went to bed. But tomorrow is a new day...
