Candlelight concert by the string quartet Belford Strings playing a programme of Beatles songs in Stoke Minster.
Belford Strings bring a Beatles tribute to Stoke Minster on Friday 27 November, the final stop of a five-venue tour that's worked its way across the North and Midlands. It's a string quartet taking on the songs, and the whole thing is part of the Candlelight series, which they describe as live, multi-sensory musical experiences performed under the glow of candlelight in locations chosen for their atmosphere rather than for their suitability as concert halls.
The setlist is a long one, pulling from across the Beatles' years. You'll hear the early, upbeat stuff like I Want To Hold Your Hand and Help!, the melodic pop of Penny Lane and Lady Madonna, and the more introspective moments of Blackbird, Here There and Everywhere and Yesterday. It also reaches into the later, more experimental side of things with Come Together, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and closes out with With A Little Help From My Friends and Hey Jude. Here Comes The Sun, Michelle and Eleanor Rigby round out the programme.
Before it lands at Stoke Minster, the tour has played Liverpool Town Hall, the Merchants House in Glasgow, St George's Hall in Liverpool and St Philip's Cathedral in Birmingham. This is the fifth and final date, so it's the last chance to catch it on this run.
