The Beatlebums’ Christmas Party

Far back in the mists of time (last February), my wife and I went to Coughlan’s Bar to see The Beatlebums play. We had a blast that night and while they’ve played a few times since, last night was the first time we had a chance to see them again when they played their Christmas Party gig.

The line-up has changed a little, but they’re still great. They played to an enthusiastic crowd in the back room of Coughlan’s Bar displaying the diverse sounds the Fab Four were well known for.

If you’re a fan of the Beatles, you’ll love them. Even if you think you don’t know the Beatles, you’ll love them. 🙂

The Beatles, John Lennon and Action Figures

We visited the Mother Jones Flea Market a few weeks ago and it was a treasure trove of old and sort of old stuff.

Pictured here are some action figures, a book on the Beatles and a poster of John Lennon hiding away in a corner of one display. Appropriate as we’re going to see a Beatles cover band tonight!
