Last Friday evening I was lucky enough to host a private house concert featuring the two lead guitarists from the excellent Beatles tribute band Daytripper in an “un-plugged” session. The show was two hours of great Beatles songs and chat about the Fab Four’s music.
Here’s a short video I shot of them perfoming my wife’s favorite Beatles track - “Dear Prudence.”
Alan J. Porter has been a Beatles fan since he first saw them perform on a regional British TV show back in 1963 when he was just a wee lad. He is the author of the critically acclaimed BEFORE THEY WERE BEATLES and occasional contributor to Beatlology Magazine. He now lives in Central Texas and occasionally writes about things other than The Fab Four. You can find out more here.

There’s also a great looking gig coming up at Southbank Centre in June that might be of interest.
Folk singer Judy Collins is playing covers of Beatles songs at Southbank Centre on 11 June.
Have a look at the details here: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/music/productions/judy-collins-38747
I’m definitely going!
