An interesting mix of guests has just been announced for the New York Metro Fest for Beatles Fans March 23-25 at the N.J. Crowne Plaza Meadowlands Hotel in Secaucus, N.J.
Ex-Monkee Micky Dolenz, who spent time with the Beatles and Harry Nilsson, will be one of the guests. Also in attendance will be Peter Asher of Peter & Gordon, who was guest in Chicago last year, and for whom Paul McCartney wrote "A World Without Love" and other songs.
Former Wings Henry McCullough and Denny Seiwell will also appear. Seiwell's Wings drum demonstrations have attracted a lot of attention at past Fests and he'll do another this time. McCullough and Seiwell will also perform music from an upcoming CD of Wings and Beatle songs they're making.
Others on the guest list include photographer Rob Shanahan whose work is on the covers of Ringo Starr's "Y Not" and upcoming "Ringo 2012" albums, "Liddypool: Birthplace of the Beatles" author David Bedford, Larry Marion, author of ""The Lost Beatles Photographs: The Bob Bonis Archives, 1964-1966" and former Ringo Starr producer Mark Hudson.
Also on hand will be photographers Roger Farrington, who photgraphed some of the John Lennon/Yoko Ono "Double Fantasy" recording sessions, Allan Tannenbaum, who also took photos of Lennon and Ono, authors Bruce Spizer ("Beatles for Sale on Parlophone Records"), Judith Kristen ("A Date With a Beatle") and Bruce Pollock ("If You Like the Beatles ...").
