On Wednesday 4th December 2024 Roxanne de Bastion, Thom Morecroft and house band The Ragamuffins return to LEAF on Bold St to celebrate 60 years of A Hard Day’s Night and Beatles For Sale.
As with their previous shows you won’t get carbon copies of Beatles songs. Instead you’ll experience new and exciting re-interpretations, re-imaginings, and creative homages to the songs from the Fab Four’s third and fourth studio albums.
Joining Roxanne, Thom and The Ragamuffins to put their own spin on these songs will be Liz Owen, Mike Ryan, Danny Bradley, Barry Jones, Leonie Jackobi, John Witherspoon, and Joe.
And over on X (formally Twitter) we’re counting down the days to the show by featuring one track from the two albums every day between 5th November and 4th December. Click here for the first post.
Tickets for this one-off event are £13 available from Skiddle.
Doors open at 7.00pm and the music starts at 7.30pm.
The story so far…
In 2016 a group of local, national and international musicians fronted by Roxanne de Bastion and Thom Morecroft gathered together at LEAF on Bold St 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, followed in 2018 by the entire White Album from start to finish. In 2019 the collective came together for 50 years of Abbey Road but sadly missed out on Let It Be in 2020 due to the pandemic.
Having reached the end of the long and winding Beatles album road, in March 2023 the gang returned to where it all began to celebrate 60 years of the Fab Four’s first two albums Please Please Me and With The Beatles.
And the journey continues!
