“Beatles 63+73”: Saturday October 26. 8 p.m. $10 cover. Clearly well versed in all things “Fab”, Christopher Clause has been hosting Beatles’ tribute shows in Hamilton for over 11 years now and has won three Hamilton Music Awards for his commitment. Once again he invites local talent to perform not only the 50th anniversary of the “With the Beatles” album but also the 40th anniversary of the solo recordings of 1973. “1973 was an important year for the Beatles, when each member released some of the best albums of their solo careers.  When you hear the music back to back, the 10-year growth of the musicians is striking, hence the name 63+73.”  The show is divided into two sections.  First half: “With the Beatles” in its entirety, featuring a number of guest artists as well as Christopher’s band THE KINGS OF MARIGOLD (Chris Jamieson, Michael Scott, Andrew Aldridge and Peter Taplay).  Second half: selections from the four solo albums, “Mind Games”, “Band on the Run”, “Living in the Material World”, and “Ringo”.  The moneys raised for the show will go to FERMATA, a benevolent fund for local musicians and artists in need.  The Pearl Company is excited and delighted to host this show which until this year, has been held at James Street Baptist Church (Tears here for the loss of that grand building.) Some of the guest artists for the show (at the time of writing; subject to change): Christopher Clause, Spider Costello, Fred D Smith, Gentleman Spectacles, Joshua Blair Lamothe, Nathan Fleet, Deborah McIvor, Susan Edwards.
