| Come together! New show unites the Beatles and burlesque Posted: 27 Apr 2010 04:26 PM PDT Fans of the Beatles and burlesque — this is your ticket to ride. Inspired by David Bowie glam rock tributes, a new show in Williamsburg is all about the Fab Four — and the teasing performance art known as burlesque. The two, according to the show's creator, Calamity Chang, are a natural fit. "The Beatles were transgressors in a time of political unrest much like now," said Chang, aka "Yoko Chang," who hosts the monthly show at Public Assembly, next up on May 10. "Through burlesque, which is a transgressive art form in itself, it seemed like the perfect event that can reach more than just an insular community." John, Paul, Ringo and George are channeled by the tribute band Ticket to Ride, who back up the performers as they strip and sing along to songs pulled from the Beatles' extensive canon, such as the raunchy "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" A natural fit, indeed. Beatles Burlesque at Public Assembly [70 N. Sixth St. between Wythe and Kent avenues in Williamsburg, (718) 384-4586], May 10 at 9 pm. Tickets $10.

| Unseen Beatles photos go on display Posted: 28 Apr 2010 03:15 AM PDT
London, April 28 : A collection of unseen photos of The Beatles just before they rose to fame is to go on display.
The 37 shots of the Fab Four on a tour with Helen Shapiro in 1963 were unearthed after languishing in an attic for almost 50 years. Photographer/journalist Paul Berriff discovered the pics at his home in north England. "I started to root around in my attic and I found this box of about 800 negs (negatives), and in it were shots of these old pop groups in ''63. I was absolutely knocked out when I saw the quality and realised I should do something with them," the Daily Express quoted Berriff as saying. Berriff took the pics after the boy band gave him unlimited access on tour when he was a teenage snapper - just months before Beatlemania gripped the world. The photog had stored the negatives at his home, along with hundreds of other images of musicians in the 1960s. The photos, which chronicle the band members rehearsing onstage, smoking in their dressing room, and relaxing with drinks and snacks backstage, will go on display at London''s Menier Gallery on Apr 28, (10). --ANI

| Beatles festival to raise funds Posted: 27 Apr 2010 09:07 PM PDT "There are a number of drugs that don't cure, but mask the progression of the disease," Albrecht said. Aging Boomers are also the chief reason why the local Alzheimer's group is hosting The Beatles' Music Festival and Silent Auction 2-8 p.m. Saturday at Lake Osprey Plaza in Lakewood Ranch. "First and foremost, we like their music," Albrecht said of The Beatles. "But we also think that Beatles fans are a good population to learn about Alzheimer's. One in eight people age 65 and older will have Alzheimer's and 50 percent of those age 85 and older will have it." Sarasota County has 20,518 Alzheimer's cases right now and Manatee County has 11,700, Albrecht said. Florida has 189,000 people with Alzheimer's, for which there are 90 clinical trials under way to find drugs that will impact the disease, Albrecht said. The Beatles' festival and auction will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday with a pre-bidding viewing of more than 80 auction items, said event organizer John Cherry, author of the book, "Better Than Lennon — The Music and Talent of Paul McCartney." Bid items include Beatles' pictures from the Ed Sullivan Show, a Paul McCartney & Wings crew jacket from the 1970s and a Travelin' Wilburys guitar and original case. The cost to bid on items is $10, with the proceeds going to the Alzheimer's Association, Cherry said. A list and pictures of bid items are available by visiting the website, betterthanlennon.com. The Urban Travelers, a band from Lakewood Ranch, is scheduled to perform Beatle music all during Saturday's event. The Beatles' Rock Band video game will be played on a 4-foot by 8-foot tall TV screen. The musical highlight of the event will be the performance by The Glass Onion, a Sarasota-based Beatle tribute band. The band will perform at 5-8 p.m. in The Cabaret, a nightclub in Lake Osprey Plaza. Admission to The Glass Onion concert is $6 with $3 from each ticket going to the Alzheimer's Association, Cherry said. For more information on the event, visit betterthanlennon.com or call (941) 375-3122. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |
| Beatles - Unseen Beatles Photos Go On Show Posted: 27 Apr 2010 12:29 PM PDT A collection of never-before-seen photos of THE BEATLES just before they made it big is to go on display - after languishing in an attic for almost 50 years. The 37 shots of the Fab Four on a U.K. tour with Helen Shapiro in 1963 were unearthed by photographer/journalist Paul Berriff at his home in north England. He took the pictures after the band gave him unlimited access on tour when he was a teenage snapper - just months before Beatlemania gripped the world, leading to a security clampdown and a new set of rules which limited the photographers who were allowed to work with the band. Berriff had stored the negatives at his home, along with hundreds of other images of British musicians in the 1960s. The Beatles photos, which chronicle the band members rehearsing onstage, smoking in their dressing room, and relaxing with drinks and snacks backstage, will go on display at London's Menier Gallery on Wednesday (28Apr10). Berriff says, "I started to root around in my attic and I found this box of about 800 negs (negatives), and in it were shots of these old pop groups in '63. I was absolutely knocked out when I saw the quality and realised I should do something with them." And Berriff has fond memories of the time he spent around the Fab Four - he even made friends with Paul MCCartney. He adds, "Paul got to know me quite well, and every time they came up to Yorkshire or Manchester they would say 'Hi Paul, how's things going?'" Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
