'Here Comes the Sun' for
BeatlesFest
27.07.16
IT'S that time of year
again when Moville rocks to the sound of the Fab
Four at BeatlesFest on the Lough.
And the organisers hope that many of the tribute
acts this year will have cause to play the classic
track 'Here Comes the Sun' in the hopes our summer
finally comes out to play.
The festival marks its 10th milestone this year with
music in multiple indoor and outdoor venues around
the seaside town over the Bank Holiday.
The five-day festival started small back in 2007 but
has now grown into Ireland's longest running
festival of Beatles music.
"If you missed the Sixties then Moville is where to
be this weekend. We are encouraging people to wear
Sixties gear," said organiser Gerry McLaughlin.
The local festival has attracted some top names in
previous years including the recently-deceased Henry
McCullough, the only Irishman to play Woodstock and
lead guitarist with Paul McCartney's band Wings. |

Acts like The Cavern
Brothers, Dahlia, Michael Thomas and Caolan are
playing this year along with solo performers and
duos.
"There will be lots of Open Mics during the day for
people that come to the festival and can play a few
Beatles tunes.
"The Beatles lyric that we most want to hear this
weekend is 'Here Comes the Sun', quipped Gerry.
BeatlesFest on the Lough takes place from Thursday,
July 28 - August 1.
