BeatleWeek 2017
-
Just got an email from the Cavern Club about signing up for BW 2017, and they said it will be the last one "as we know it" and that in future years it would be scaled down!

I got that too disappointing making me think of wanting to go now as usually take a year off not going and return the following year but I think instead of starting it on a Wednesday they should really just start it on a Friday when it officially kicks off and it's when most folk arrive

It was beginning to be very samey year after year so hopefully this shake up to the format will breathe some new life into it. It was at too many venues, with the same bands playing the same sets (most appearing every year!) So it was becoming not worth the money. Plus those folk that film stuff with their iPads in places like The Cavern was getting out of hand - I don't see why they couldn't just enjoy the moment instead of blocking the view of this behind them. Anyway, we're giving it a miss this year and going down to Liverpool the week after.

Did you go in 2016? I enjoyed it much more than 2011 with all the bands spread out and tons of people in the streets.

I'm so jealous! Wanted to go (again) this year, but too many other expenses!
