Morning Session
The day of festivities kicks off with an event for all the family
A Screening of Paul McCartney’s Feature movie – Give My Regards to Broad Street
Inspired by his efforts in A Hard Days Night and Help!, Paul McCartney elected to write a film that showed his life catalogue for all of its diversity. Most pertinently, it was the first time McCartney performed many of the Beatle classics for a younger generation and he tellingly plays a gorgeous medley of ‘Yesterday’ and ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ ahead of ‘Wanderlust’. Peter Webb directed the film and McCartney stars as a fictionalised version of himself. Ringo Starr, Barbara Bach, Tracy Ullman and George Martin also co-star.
This will be followed by a selection of animations the former Beatle released.
We are pleased to announce that French singer songwriter Kevin Dupont will be performing a selection of family-appropriate tunes. A mainstay on the French Beatle scene, it’s wonderful to have Dupont here- it’s certainly a thrill!
