Liverpool's John Lennon tribute season announced
JOHN LENNON will be remembered in a tribute season of music, film and verse in his home city.
The two-month cultural programme of events will be launched on October 9 – on what would have been the former Beatle’s 70th birthday.
And they will come to a climax with a major memorial concert, John Lennon Remembered, at the Echo Arena Liverpool on December 9, the day after the 30th anniversary of his murder.
The John Lennon Tribute Season is being organised by the Beatles Story, Cavern City Tours, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Mersey Partnership, Liverpool One and Liverpool City Council.
Beatles Story managing director Jerry Goldman said: “It’s massively exciting.
“These are such significant anniversaries this year.
“What we’re revealing today is headline announcements, but they are just the beginning. There’s going to be much, much more announced in the next couple of months.
“And we want to invite all organisations and the people of Liverpool to think of their own contribution to the season. This is for the people of Merseyside, for the people of the UK as well as foreign visitors.”
The venues will join forces to host a series of live music, film, poetry and art events which it is hoped will bring tens of thousands of tourists to the city – particularly those from the United States and Australia, where there are many Lennon fans.
