Hastings Beatles Day

Since the year 2000, Hastings has held a Beatles Day in April. Follow the link to learn about the event, that took place on Sunday 7th April this year. I don't think the Beatles ever came to Hastings, but by all accounts its a great day for any Beatles fans out there. Oddly, Paul McCartney's bass guitar, stolen in London in 1972, was found in an attic in Hastings in February this year... Make of that what you will.

The Kinks, The Who, The Zombies, Jimi Hendrix and Cilla Black. Read this blog from Brighton University to find out more.
