On 23 February 1963 - 60 years ago - a group called The Beatles performed in Mansfield. At that time they were a support act, but went on to become arguably the biggest global pop phenomenon of the 20th Century. Many of their compositions are now all-time classics.

Sixty years on almost to the day, you are invited to an evening of jazz interpretations of Beatles music played by the Matt Ratcliffe Trio, with vocalist Helen Gayle. Expect brilliant jazz arrangements by jazz legends such as Herbie Hancock of your favourite Lennon & McCartney compositions.

Enjoy a feast of familiar ‘jazzed’ Beatles melodies whose introductions may tease you to ‘Name that Tune’!
