Instant Karma

Fronted by Liverpool actor, musician and restaurateur Jon Keats, Instant Karma are one of the greatest John Lennon tribute acts you're ever likely to see. This year's appearance at Beatleweek is their thirteenth, and although 13 may be unlucky for some, it's not so for Jon - his wife is expecting their first child on Monday! If the baby arrives on that day and is a boy, we suggest they name it Mathew, in honour of the street festival. Mind you, based on that theory, fingers crossed it doesn't arrive early cos we don't think 'Chavasse' is especially catchy! Joking aside, we want to take this opportunity to wish them both our love and best wishes for their imminent arrival.

Of course, with Jon being on alert all weekend, the band have nervously agreed to play just one day, and so they will give only two performances on Saturday - as part of the Live Peace in Liverpool show at Chavasse Park, and then in the American Bar at The Adelphi where Jon will perform a solo Lennon set. Last year's Plastic Ono Band show was amazing, so give Live Peace a chance… don't go Cold Turkey on Instant Karma!
