Show Highlights

In 2015, dedicated to Rachel and to kick off the festival Hal Bruce and Mark Beyer created a moving memorial concert, and every year since some stage or area is named for her.

The Orchestra, the successor band to ELO, was the big get for us this year, and they were as good as all the ELO records. It was uncanny how perfect they sounded still with two original members from ELO and primarily former members of ELO II. Other than the Beach Boys, I'm not sure I've ever seen a happier audience.

Other big highlights in 2015 were when Jon Keats, Bill Heckle, and Julia Baird, our friends from International Beatle Week and the owners of the Cavern Club, came to our festival and hosted a meet and greet with all of our fans. Julia, JWL's baby sister, was just a wonderful ambassador all over the festival site.
