Artists scheduled to perform include Brute Force, The Radha Krishna Temple, Jeff Slate, The Mersey Beatles, Singh Strings, The Liverpool Ukulele Orchestra, The Rebels, Tsema and Andre Barreau from The Bootleg Beatles. |
Flags will also fly at half-mast at both the Liverpool City Hall and St George’s Hall.
The 10th anniversary is also being marked in Hollywood with a public candlelight memorial from 6:00 PM (PST) until 8:00PM (PST) at George Harrison’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Star, which is located at 1750 N. Vine Street, in front of the Capitol Records Tower Building.
A less conventional memorial will take place at New York City’s City Winery where fans will gather at 8:00 PM (EST) for a wine tasting to George Harrison’s music. The event will feature seven different “flights” with wines paired to three Harrison songs each round.
George Harrison was born in Liverpool on February 25, 1943 and died of lung cancer in Los Angeles on November 29, 2001 aged 58.
