BRINGING BACK THE BEATLES ON A SATURDAY NIGHT IN ESK







Beatles' music is knowing the tunes, most of the lyrics and getting lost in the memory of a time when the 'Fab Four' were transformative; when 'Beatlemania' caused hearts young and old to race.  And so it was on a Saturday night in April at the Somerset Civic Centre, Esk, where the fabulous band ' Pitch Black'  together with Phil Caffin's eloquent and informative narration, had concert goers doing just that as they rocked their way through a musical timeline of the timeless tunes of John, Paul ,George and Ringo.  For many, frocked in the fashions of the '60s, much water had flowed under the bridge since the boys from Liverpool had sung their way into their hearts but it was evident that time had not dulled the passion as many were moved to let loose on the dance floor or bounce to the beat of the Beatles around the appropriately decorated ' Yellow Submarine' tables.
 




Performances by the ESK COMMUNITY CHOIR are for the most part, of their own making.  Occasionally, they are moved to commit to assisting others with their fund raising as was the case on this occasion when the Esk State School P & C Committee prevailed upon Alexis and her Choir to organize the catering and contribute to the musical performance along the way.  This we did with gusto, our efforts culinary and choral, conducive to a wonderfully energetic and stirring Saturday night.
