My love for music 08 May, 2013 - 0 Comments

With The Beatles, one common theme is love. And in their immortal words, love is all you need

I love music. I play music. And now as I'm writing my first piece about music, it is only appropriate that it begins with the words I started with.

Paul McCartney has swapped Beatles for grasshoppers - after a stage invasion by a swarm of the creatures.

The star managed to complete his performance despite being buzzed by a cloud of the insects as he played on stage in Brazil. Animal-lover McCartney carried on for almost three hours in Goiania.

Paul McCartney went against his tradition of making at least minor changes to the setlist for his second show at Goiânia, Brazil Monday. After the many changes of the first Out There! show in Bel Horizonte on Saturday, fans couldn't wait to see what he'd do for the next show.

And all the anticipation probably gave way to a little disappointment because, as a McCartney spokesman confirmed.

A rare guitar played by Beatles pair John Lennon and George Harrison worth about £150,000 will go on display in London this week.

The Beatles VOX guitar, a custom prototype made in 1966 and later given to "Magic Alex" Mardas, a friend of the band, will be unveiled at The Stafford London hotel in St. James's Palace.

Former Rolling Stones Manager Andrew Loog Oldham has called for a street in Liverpool to be named after Brian Epstein, the impresario who guided The Beatles to the top of the charts and international fame.

Brian gave Andrew, who has just released his new book Stone Free, his first break into the world of showbiz when he hired him as an assistant to help handle his growing team of pop talent.

Wolfgang's Vault, which has amassed a huge collection of vintage live shows in its Concert Vault section by a wide assortment of artists, will start digging into its archives and post more concerts by the solo Beatles, the Vault's CEO Bill Sagan told us in a face-to-face interview.

Here comes the sister 06 May, 2013 - 0 Comments

Beatles guitarist George Harrison’s elder sister is in Holon, spreading the love, for a Beatles festival. Fifty years ago, in March 1963, a young band from Liverpool made musical history with the release of its debut album, “Please Please Me.” The Beatles became one of only two acts to sell more than a billion records (Elvis Presley was the other), and changed the face of popular music forever.

Pierce Brosnan has revealed he settled a secret legal spat with Paul Mccartney's brother over a photo he recreated as a painting for his late wife.

Michael MCCartney threatened legal action against the actor after realising his Just Four Guys piece was a colourful reinterpretation of the photographer's black and white shot of the Beatles.

Fifty years after the launch of the Beatles’ debut album Please Please Me in 1963, Liverpool revels in its role as the birthplace of four lads who shook the world. Carol Davis steps back into Yesterday in a celebration of the city’s musical heritage

Mention Liverpool to almost anyone in the world and their face breaks into a broad smile: “Ah, Liverpool – football and the Beatles,” they muse.
