BEATLES DAY GOES GLOBAL!

BEATLES DAY 09 was officially launched by John Lennon’s sister – Julia Baird and TV star Ricky Tomlinson at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. Julia is a Trustee of the newly formed Beatles Day Foundation and Ricky is a Patron of the charity. She and Ricky handed over cheques raised by the Beatles Day appeal last year to the Imagine Appeal and Liverpool Unites worth £45,000. The patients and staff on the Oncology ward joined in a singalong to 'She Loves You' and 'I Saw Her standing there'.

The first ever BEATLES DAY last year made the news in places as diverse as China, Russia and New Zealand! The Tourist Information Office in Liverpool City Centre reported Beatles Day as its second busiest day ever!

Beatles-style mop-top wigs, t-shirts and badges will now be available worldwide as they are being sold online at beatlesday.tv as well as through many retail stockists in the days leading up to Beatles Day. Over 20,000 mop-tops were worn for BEATLES DAY last year!

It returned for a second time on 10th July 2009 following the highly successful inaugural charity event last year. It will be back on Saturday 10th July 2010. Prepare to don your mop-top in the name of charity, and visit the host of Beatles themed family fundraising events taking place throughout the city of Liverpool, and other cities throughout the world. The climax of the day will be the BEATLES DAY CONCERT in each city in which a host of stars will perform the best of the Beatles songs. The concert in Liverpool will once again be hosted by the irrepressible Ricky Tomlinson. Beatles Mop-tops will be available free, with your purchase of a ticket to the concert, from the Tourist Information office in Whitechapel or from the Arena Box Office. They are also be available for sale at various outlets around the Northwest UK and online from the"Shop" page on this website. The Beatles Day Foundation is a charitable trust that raises money for many worthy causes particularly those improving the health and wellbeing of children and young people. Beneficiaries of the proceeds raised from this year's Beatles Day will include The Imagine Appeal for Alder Hey Children's Hospital and the Marina Dalglish Appeal for a radiotherapy centre in Liverpool. Any charitable organisation to can apply to our trustees for funding of projects from any monies raised in their locality for Beatles Day.

The 10th July will be forever known as BEATLES DAY and that date was chosen for this celebration as it is the anniversary of the Beatles triumphant return to Liverpool from the States and the premiere of the film 'Hard Day's Night' in 1964. The streets were lined with thousands of adoring fans and we intend to re-create the same sort of Beatlemania every year.

Chas Cole, Summer Pops promoter and one of the people behind the BEATLES DAY idea says: “It's 24 hours when people can show their love for the Beatles and celebrate the legacy of their music. The concert at the Echo Arena will be a great way to finish, but BEATLES DAY is really a chance for the ordinary people of Liverpool and other towns and cities all over the world to take part in Beatles related fundraising activities and events. The most important thing is to have fun whilst raising money."

We are holding simultaneous events in several world cities in 2010 which will be streamed live over the internet and will be televised. If you want to hold a benefit in your city or are interested in becoming a corporate sponsor of BEATLES DAY then please e-mail info@beatlesday.tv

Liverpool and The Beatles are inseparable. Liverpool made the Beatles what they were and their immortal heritage has come to play a huge role in the way the city is viewed around the world today.

Make sure BEATLES DAY is on your calendar this year.
