2020 marks the 60th Anniversary of The BEATLES. The most ICONIC band ever!! Nasha & Friends decided to pay our humble respects, with a tribute to their hits. 2020 has also been the year the planet has been ravaged by COVID 19 and we had to cancel our initial plans for May 2020, as the Country was in LOCKDOWN! On coming out of Lockdown in mid June, we took every precaution and made an attempt at bringing this gig, to our INDO KIWI Community. The lineup of singers and musicians changed a wee bit, but we managed to pull this through with around 6-7 rehearsals. Not a lot when we covered almost 50 Hits. 3.5 hours of music!! It was a total blast...we revelled on stage and the audience joined us every step of the way...singing and dancing! We had quite a large turnout both on stage with 21 performers and 350 people in the audience!! Enthusiastic Beatles fans.....Folks dressed up in their 60's best for the occasion!
