BBC’ers can Chat With Pete Best 7PM (EST) September 3rd

BBC members will be invited to join in a live, intimate chat with the one and only, Pete Best! He will personally answer BBC’ers for a full 45 minute Live Chat. And that will happen ONLY on Joe Johnson’s Beatle Brunch Club! We hope you’ll be there with all your questions. Look for a new Live Chat every month on The BBC. Participating BBC members during the evening’s chat with Pete Best will be eligible to win a cool prize. ONE BBC member name will be selected at random after Pete says, “Good Night Sleep Tight.”

I am so pleased to announce that because of the incredible interest and media support of the new album, "Haymans Green," The Pete Best Band will be arriving in the states on September 1st. Unfortunately that means we won't be doing the on-line chat from the Casbah Coffee Club as previously announced. Rest assured, we promise Beatle Brunch Club fans will still chat with Pete Best … same date, same time, same website (JJ’sBBC.com). We'll just be chatting from a US location. The early arrival is due to special invitations for appearances at two very high profile conventions, Transworld and the 50th anniversary AARP convention in Washington D.C.
