I can't believe that none of our resident Scousers have mentioned this and that it's been left to a'leeds Loiner' to highlight on here. The city of Liverpool home to the world-renowned Beatles launches Beatles Day on Thursday to celebrate the musical achievements of the band.
The event is to coincide with the 44th anniversary of the legendary band's triumphant homecoming after conquering the United States in 1964, Sky news reported.
Fans will vote for their favorite Beatles hit and a special concert at the Liverpool Echo Arena will be part of the celebration, with bands from across Britain playing cover versions of Beatles' biggest hits.
There will also be a special fun run and parades through locations the band has made world-famous, including Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields.
Thousands of inflatable guitars and 5-pound (some 10 dollars) mop-top' wigs will be on sale across Liverpool as the city honors the four-member band.
Money raised through the event will go toward Alder Hey Hospital and a fund to generate resources for a community center in memory of murdered schoolboy Rhys Jones.
"Liverpool has always been proud of The Beatles and it's a wonderful idea to combine an annual celebration of their music with a fund-raising drive for charity," said promoter Chas Cole, mastermind of the event.
"Beatles Day will really be about the ordinary people of this city and hopefully, in the future, cities in the UK and beyond," he added.
Lets hope it's a great success and that there is loads raised for Charity.
Moe, I 've heared that there will be some plastic beatle wigs knocking about, can you 'acquire' a few, bring them over here for the Kismet quiz and we can call ourselves the Moptops!
