It was a 10 minute drive away but of course as an eleven year old I didn't realise that at the time. READ MORE>>> |

When the Beatles Hornsby Road show was announced featuring Mark Lewisohn it seemed like an ambitious project. I mean, basically it's a presentation on the Beatles Abbey Road album, but in a theatre?

A lot had been said regarding the reaction Ringo Starr would receive if he returned to his hometown after his comment on the Jonathan Ross Show in January 2008.
