Now you can picture yourself in a boat on a river … well … the Caribbean Ocean and All our Friends are Aboard and Many More of Them Live Next Door on this incredible Beatles Tribute Cruise.
It sets sail from Ft. Lauderdale on 3/28/10 aboard Royal Caribbean’s newest and most luxurious ship the Independence of the Seas for 6 nights. On our Long and Winding Road we’ll stop at Belize City, Cozumel and Costa Maya. Joining this Magical History Cruise will be some Beatles insiders who loved, lived with, photographed, wrote about and captured the stories and images of the Beatles as few people ever have.
 
All Together Now we have:
 
Beatle Brunch’s own, Joe Johnson, Cruise Co-Host
Joe will handle the Beatles Trivia Contest (with some fantastic Beatles prizes) and conducting Jorie Gracen’s Question and Answer Session called “Behind the Lens with Paul McCartney”
   
May Pang

John’s former assistant, girlfriend and the author of “Loving John” and “Instamatic Karma”

MAY PANG worked for ABKCO, in the early 1970's, and from there was hired as John and Yoko's personal assistant.
She spent the "Long Weekend" with John Lennon. John recorded "Walls and Bridges", and "Rock and Roll" with May by his side.

After her relationship with Lennon ended, May Pang worked for Island Records and United Artists. In addition to photography, she designs a line of feng shui jewelry and furniture. She lives in New York with her two children.
   

Nancy Lee Andrews

Ringo’s former fiancee’, fashion model, photographer and the author of “A Dose of Rock and Roll”
May and Nancy will participate in their own Q & A Session called “The Rock and Roll Asylum” which will take you back to the time they met when John and May rented Peter Lawford’s house on Santa Monica Beach in order to record Harry Nilsson’s Pussycats album.

Her six-year relationship (1974-1980) and engagement with Ringo granted her an all access pass to a world beyond the velvet rope.
Part of that access included intimate and candid photographs of Ringo Starr's life in the seventies. Andrews started her career on the other side of the lens in 1970 when renowned photographer Milton Greene recognized her need to click the shutter.

Living with them were Ringo, Keith Moon, Klaus Voormann and Harry Nilsson. This is where John Lennon set Nancy up with Ringo. They will have some great stories to tell.
   
Shannon
the World’s Greatest Beatles Artist, just had her name placed on the Cavern Club’s Wall of Fame. She is the first non-musician to be honored this way. The day of the cruise, March 28, 2010. She will unveil eight of her Beatles creations for the Hard Days Night Hotel. Her first book is coming out in March, 2010 and our cruise will be the first stop on her book tour. And maybe with a little coaxing (OK…very little) we can get her to create one of her original Beatles art pieces on the ship.

Beatles Producer Recovering After Surgery

Beatle Brunch wishes a safe and speedy recovery to legendary Beatles Producer, Sir George Martin, who is recovering at home after undergoing “routine” surgery.

George’s manager, Adam Sharp, did not disclose any specifics, but said in a statement, “George Martin had routine surgery this week. He spent one night in hospital and is now back at home.” Martin, who is 83, signed The Beatles in 1962 and produced all of their albums except for “Let it Be” which was largely produced by Phil Spector. Please keep George in your thoughts and prayers this week.

Fab Faux’s Rich Pagano Out With Solo CD

After years of working behind the scenes to make memorable music for and with some of the industry’s most revered artists, The Fab Faux’s drummer and vocalist, Rich Pagano steps into the spotlight with the debut of his solo CD, “rich pagano + the sugarCane cups” ... a classic infused rock and roll record of angst and escapism.

The 12 song collection evokes soaring comparisons to The Beatles, solo Pete Townshend, Plastic Ono Band, Levon Helm and others, but Brunchers will agree it’s just Rich’s remarkable style and craft that makes this CD one to own.
