Celebrate 50 Years of the White Album this Thursday 22nd November at LEAF
In 2016 a group of local, national and international musicians fronted by Roxanne de Bastion and Thom Morecroft gathered together at Leaf on Bold Street to recreate the groundbreaking Beatles album Revolver, 50 years to the day since its release. In 2017 Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band received the ’50 Years of’ treatment, with The Ragamuffins as house band.
Fast forward to LEAF on Bold Street on Thursday 22nd November 2018 and The Ragamuffins along with Roxanne, Thom and a host of friends and special guests will be taking on their biggest challenge yet – recreating the 30 song double album The Beatles – known to everyone as the White Album – on its 50th anniversary.
Already confirmed for this epic show are local artists Eleanor Nelly, Johnny Sands and Rachael Jean Harris. Joining them will be Ahmed Khwaja, Amanda Kostadinov (Rumours of Fleetwood Mac), Richard de Bastion, Buddy Keenan (The Floormen), Charlie McKeon, Danny Bradley, Limerance, ME and Deboe, Nicola Hardman, and the Soundbound Attic Band.
Just like with the previous shows you won’t find carbon copies of Beatles songs. Instead you’ll experience new and exciting re-interpretations, re-imaginings, and creative homages to some of the Fab Four’s greatest and, let’s face it, whacky songs! Who will be performing each song? You’ll have to come along to find out. No spoilers here!
Doors open at 7.30pm with the music starting at 8.00pm sharp. Don’t be late or you’ll miss Back In The USSR!
