The John Lennon Memorial Concert
The "Lennon Remembered" concert is on December 9th at the Liverpool Echo Arena and is a must for Beatles fans as we celebrate the life of John Lennon, with many special guests and unique performances arranged as a fitting tribute to John. John's half-sister, Julia Baird, supports the event and was proud to comment: “John would be very proud that the concert was bringing together so many of his friends and colleagues. I am delighted that ‘Lennon Remembered’ is such an historic and relevant tribute to my brother’s life and career. It’s wonderful that the proceeds for such a celebration can also give a little back to the city that he loved.” Julia Baird For tickets or more details, go to http://www.echoarena.com/whats_on/lennon_remembered.asp The proceeds from the concert are going to support the "Alder Hey Imagine Appeal", Radio City's "Cash for Kids" and the "Mathew Street Festival".

Ray Scraggs mate John Fowler is also a prolific author and has recently published this amazing book about possibly the greatest football team in the world ever (Editors personal opinion)
To a whole new generation it must be a mystery how any club without the
financial clout could ever be the top club in England. Such a club was Everton.
Everton were the top club in 1987, but the way football is progressing that could have be the last
time they may ever win the league.
When the author found his scrapbook he had kept from that season, he found it easier to explain to his grandson how
they did it.
This humorous recount of Everton’s journey to victory in 1987 is the perfect Xmas gift for all
Evertonians who remember those better times.
(It’s also an excellent present for Liverpool supporters explaining how not to spend £2 trillion on a bunch of
losers. Editors personal opinion)
Priced at £5 per copy plus £1 P&P, you can buy the book from John by sending a cheque or postal order to:
John Fowler PO box 223, Wirral Cheshire, CH31 9EW
