Fest for Beatles Fans — yeah, yeah, yeah!

For far longer than there were the Beatles, there has been the Fest for Beatles Fans — or, as it was originally named — Beatlefest.In 1974, New Yorker Mark Lapidos had the idea of a convention to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Fab Four coming to America. He got the opportunity to meet John Lennon in a New York hotel, and ran the idea by him. Lennon’s response: “I’m all for it. I’m a Beatles fan, too.”

The Beatles Show

To mark the 50th anniversary of Love Me Do, short plays and the music of The Beatles will be performed live at The New Theatre in Dublin. The plays include Lennon Vs. McCartney, a short play that definitively sorts out the argument once and for all, who is greater, John Lennon or Paul McCartney, and a play called The Death of a Beatles Fan.
