20. Isn't It A Pity
21. Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
22. My Sweet Lord.

The inclusion of the Richard Starkey-penned It Don't Come Easy, which was produced by George Harrison, may have surprised some of the audience. In his excellent book The Music of George Harrison, Firefly Publishing 2003, Simon Leng commented "It will probably never be known if the pleasing "It Don't Come Easy" was the product of Harrison's muse or Ringo's. The previous eight years hadn't really suggested that the man who wrote "Don't Pass Me By" was on the verge of producing a well-rounded piece like this. Nevertheless, when it was finally released in 1971, Starr had a major hit with what remains his best song. The fact that the stamp of George Harrison as tunesmith and guitarist is all over it is probably not wholly coincidental".

Comments and Reviews

JPGR&B SUBS 19th Jun 2015		No. 1 in the Top 50 Live Music events viewed yesterday!
JPGR&B SUBS 18th Jun 2015		I've updated the Notes and added news scans and photos. Alex and his orchestra, are wonderful. They played a great set of George's music, which sounded so sumptuous. Any George fan should try to capture one of their concerts if you can. Sadly their last gig on their current mini tour at The Kenton Theatre, Henley-on-Thames on Saturday 20 June is sold out. Well done Festival chairman Phil Hewitt for bringing Alex and his orchestra to Chichester. A splendid time was had by all.
JPGR&B SUBS 17th Jun 2015		Just back. A great show. More to follow tomorrow.
JPGR&B SUBS 5th Jun 2015		I've got my ticket (I live locally) and will report back after the show.
