Well, Hal Bruce has just announced that the 3rd Annual Maritime Beatle Event will be held on Saturday June 7, 2008 at the Olympic Gardens in Halifax. This year the world’s favorite “Other Ringo,” Jay Goeppner will be back as is Ticket 2 Ride along with Hal’s great show.
The first two events were runaway successes including the wonderful talk that Julia Baird gave us. Julia is John Lennon’s half-sister and told us what it was like to be the sister of “a Beatle.” And, if the truth be known, she was a closet Rolling Stones fan and told even John that Mick and the boys were her preference.
The Repeatles from Sweden will not be back this year because the timing was not right. As a European band they are in high demand all over the continent which hosts dozenz of Beatle events. However, they will be remembered. They build up a solid base of fans in Halifax and the people from all over who attended.
However, an exciting band from Hungary, The Blackbirds, will be on the main stage. If you can read Hungarian here’s their site: The Blackbirds
Joining Hal will be former Rankin Family-drummer, Scott Ferguson, who also co-produces Hal’s recordings and owns Ferguson Music Studios.
