The Beach Boys at Dodgers Stadium!

Al Jardine Live at the Roxy 20th March 2012    

Beach Boys Britain is pleased to  invite you to...Liverpool!

BBB will be in Liverpool at the same time as the International Pop Overthrow, precisely: SATURDAY 19^TH MAY 2012, when we will be taking over :

The Lomax

34  Cumberland Street,
Liverpool,
L1 6BU

This venue is very close to both the Cavern Club and The Cavern itself; both locations are being used for The International Pop Overthrow. Our “Get Together” will be from 1-6pm and then those that wish to, can go and enjoy the acts offered by the IPO (to be recommended). In fact, several of our bands will also be playing the IPO also, which makes things even more exciting!

This will be a casual get together and hopefully a nice relaxed time to be enjoyed by all, as our musicians play for us, we have a good old singsong, we get to celebrate the Reunion Tour, talk Beach Boys and who knows what can happen on the day!

Currently, food is not served at the pub but there are many places around, very nearby.

We won’t be making this a ticketed event, but we would appreciate you letting us know if you are going to be there, so please contact me (address/email/phone number at the top of this Newsletter) if you can make it.
