“Comfort comes from the beautiful melancholia, it seems to strike my need for sadness. There is poetry in the dying of the relationship, and mystery as well.

"Hello, hello!" I'm 27, born and raised in Liverpool :) I recently moved to New York City!For the last few years I've been performing in theatre shows, festivals, and on cruise ships with various Beatles tribute bands as the George Harrison (see video links below!)
Back in Liverpool we had a monthly residency performing live at the Cavern Club (hottest and sweatiest gigs ever!)
I also appear in the opening scene of the recent film 'Across The Universe' playing 'Hold Me Tight' in the band at the Cavern Club :)

“If you haven't already, check out the mono mix of the Sgt. Pepper album. This song is sped up slightly so that the pitch is a semi-tone higher, they did it to make Paul sound a little younger and tighten it all up a bit apparantly.. It was left at it's original speed and pitch for the general stereo release. Similar thing with the mono & stereo versions of Don't Pass Me By off the White Album, the mono also having a different violin line playing during the fade out..”

From Pauline Cynthia Dotty on 12th Jul 11:
“Hey there Ben :D
I’m so happy, the aptitude test for the Art College is over :O I couldn’t eat anything yesterday...and I had to draw and be creative for about 8 hours (so exhausting I can tell you...) I hope I can go to that Art College, I’ll get the results next week!
So, how are you?? I hope you’re fine :)
You think they will like my gifts?! :D Oh, I’m so glad (you know them, and I don’t, so I was not sure if they would like it. And I’m younger than they are...). I would also make some artwork for you, you’re such a great musician!! I make artworks for people I really like and who I think are special! Now I just have to meet them after the concert (and hope that I can still speak English. The last time I was so curious that I couldn’t make an English sentence...) May I ask you something: did you (or the two Cavern Beatles) ever get some gifts from fans?? Or does that happen often? I was just wondering...
Alright, have a nice day Ben :) See you!
~Ann :-]” -

“Aw those gifts sound so wonderful and thoughtful! I'm sure they will appreciate all the effort and creativity! I know I would!”

“Hello Ben (I call you like that if that’s alright?!)
Yes, I’ve been to England two times!! I love England :D Well, the first time I was at the south coast (Weymouth) for 2 weeks. I stayed by a host family, had school (English) and also visited London. The second time, I went to London with my English A-Level class :) And there I went to Abbey Road (I wrote on the wall ;) and to the London Beatles Store!!! I also visited other places but these were the best :) Now I want to go to Liverpool and see all the other Beatles related places (but I have to find someone who wants to come along with me, and that’s not so easy...)
How are you then?? I hope you’re alright :)
[I’ll send two messages (I wrote too much ;)]
Yeah, I saw the Cavern Beatles (you read the thing on my page then?!) OMG! YOU’RE FRIENDS WITH TWO OF THEM (and you played together with them)!!! :D THEY ARE GREAT GUYS INDEED!!!” -
From Pauline Cynthia Dotty on 9th Jul 11:
“Oh I have to calm down... I met them after their concert and Steve was very nice (well, the others too :) So, I tell you this (hope you don’t think I’m a crazy fan!!): I want to go to their concert in Nürnberg in November. And ‘cause I really like them I made something to thank them: first I drew them (just little pictures). Then, I call it Matchbox Art (got the idea from the song “Matchbox”) and I nearly finished it!! I have 4 matchboxes (still have to design the outside) and these matchboxes are filled with things that are special for them (handmade things of wire, cloth and wool). Here’s what I did for every Beatle: John: his Rickenbacker, his glasses and a little strawberry. Paul: a blackbird, his bass and a medal like they have them on Sgt. Pepper. George: his guitar, a letter for the Taxman and a Savoy Truffle. Ringo: a little drum with drumsticks and the ring from Help! What do you think (I really hope you don’t think I’m crazy…)
See you then!! ~Ann :-]” -
