Liverpool plan Lennon fest
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 26 March 2010
Liverpool will stage a two-month programme of events to celebrate the life and music of John Lennon this autumn to celebrate what would have been the late Beatle’s 70th birthday.
Presumably the festival to celebrate the life and work of my Mum, also born in Merseyside exactly 70 years ago this October, will be announced by Liverpool City Council in due course. I mean, she gave birth to me, surely that needs celebrating?
Anyway, on the Lennon festival, Liverpool mayor Mike Storey said this: “John Lennon is one of the most iconic figures of the 20th Century and a Liverpool lad who became known in every corner of the globe. His enduring message of peace is as important now as ever and continues to be an inspiration to many. This will be a fitting opportunity to remember him as a man, and to celebrate his music, and his overall contribution to our city”.
