Former Beatle Ringo Starr led the proceedings this weekend as his home city launched its year as European (Co-)Capital Of Culture. Starr sang his new single 'Liverpool 8' plus Beatles classic 'With A Little Help From My Friends' and John Lennon's 'Power To The People' as part of the launch concert at the city's Echo Arena.
Starr appeared as part of a show called 'Liverpool: The Musical' in which no less than 700 performers participated, including Echo And The Bunnymen, The Christians, Pete Wylie and The Farm, and the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
