The Beatalls @ The Beatles Anthology Book Launch
Waterstones Nottingham - 4 October 2000

The Beatles Anthology Book was launched on the 5th October, and many Waterstones bookstores across the UK held special events and midnight openings to promote it. In Nottingham we boogied the evening of the 4th away to the sounds of The Beatalls, a local tribute band who entertained us with lots of fab Beatles songs including 'She's A Woman', 'Paperback Writer', 'Slow Down' and 'The Ballad Of John And Yoko'.

There was a quiz and a fancy dress competition (although I was the only one who seemed to know about it and so won first prize for my Sgt Pepper jacket - lovingly handmade, not hired, I hasten to add!) and finally we were allowed to buy the book!! We dashed home and spent the next few hours poring over the beautiful book!

Thanks to Waterstones & The Beatalls for a gear night, and of course John, Paul, George and Ringo for writing the book!
