See Lennon at The Lathom

JOHN Lennon’s name is back up in lights at The Lathom in Seaforth.

Regulars at the club will be greeted by the sight of two 10ft figures of the Beatles legend.

The Fab Four played at the Lathom Avenue club 10 times between 1960 and 1961.

Owner Brian Corrigan snapped up the lamp-post figures after spotting them in a sale of unwanted Blackpool illuminations.

The figures were commissioned by pie company Holland’s in 2001. Lennon – whose face is a giant pie – was featured in full hippy garb under the banner Hi-Pie.

Mr Corrigan said: “I saw there was a one-off sale of Blackpool illuminations and I had pre-bought a couple of things, illuminated Love and Fab signs.

imagineicecream.jpgWell folks I’ve seen it all now. First, we had John Lennon Converse sneakers, but now there’s this. I guess the folks over at Ben & Jerry’s are taking John’s comments about selling peace like a product to heart. They are imagining peace through an ice cream flavor. We all scream for ice cream.

The Beatles Photographs by Michael Peto

18th August 2007 to 2 March 2008 @ National Conservation Centre, Whitechapel, Liverpool

A unique photographic exhibition of The Beatles is coming to the National Conservation Centre in August. ‘Now These Days Are Gone’ is an exhibition of informal shots, taken on the set of HELP! by Michael Peto, one of the great photojournalists of the 1960s.

Taken in 1965, they mark the metamorphosis of the Beatles from pop stars into the most famous band in history against the backdrop of a decade of great social and cultural change.

The exhibition of over 40 images demonstrates Peto’s unobtrusive approach, which enabled him to fade into the background and capture his subjects in a relaxed, natural manner.

These photographs of the Beatles came to light during the digitisation of Michale Peto’s collection of 130,000 prints and negatives, donated by his family to the University of Dundee following his death in 1970.

This exhibition has been produced by the University of Dundee, the custodians of the Michael Peto photographic collection.

Admission FREE.

Open 10am-5pm every day
