Hi to you

Heres the first post to anyone who has an interest in the York Beatles Appreciation Society. I have only just launched the blog so I am going to let it run for a while to build up the interest and accumulate a minimun of 10 to 15 members, I will then set up an initial meeting at somewhere central in York for us to all meet face to face.

From there we can exchange views on what we want the society to do, be it on the web or during the meetings.Its difficult to explain what the attraction of the Beatles is. But its something that has infiltrated all ages, all creeds, all languages, all classes, and all time, - they are literally universal in their music and never ending influence. Other groups may have sold more records in terms of profit or numbers but the social and musical range of their short reign will never be matched again. There is much to say and I will save it for the society.

Heres some pics I took last year on my second visit to Liverpool, (my first was at the age of 18 when I went for an interview at the Liverpool Art College to study animation, I never got in). It was of course a bit of a pilgrimage to the centre of the city to visit the Beatle museums and places of fame.

Outside the rebuilt Cavern Club, took some pix inside but the low light
made them a bit dull,  ....was a bit dissappointed on the inside however,
just very, very commercialised now, and full of asians taking millions of
snaps, I couldn't wait to get out actually!

Here's the original entrance to the club 25 yards further down the street.
Eerie....I could feel the ghosts...
