Louise Harrison, has had to cancel her planned visit to Richmond that had been set
for Wednesday night. Louise was to give a free talk that
evening at Indiana University East. However, she was forced
to cancel because of health issues. It's unclear if her appearance will
be rescheduled.
Louise, who lived in Illinois in the early
1960s, helped the Beatles gain radio and TV play in the United States
before they were known here.
Her appearance was planned
to help promote Richmond Symphony Orchestra's "Twist and
Shout" Beatles-themed gala, which takes place April 29 at Kuhlman Center
on the Wayne County Fairgrounds. The concert will feature musical
entertainment from Beatles tribute band Liverpool Legends and the
orchestra.
Louise hand-picked the members of Liverpool Legends
and has managed the band for 10 years. Her involvement makes them the
only Beatles tribute group with a direct family link to the original Fab
Four. The Branson, Mo.-based band travels the world, headlining at
the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., and performing at Carnegie Hall.
Before
the gala, free lessons will help area residents learn 1960s dances
including the Twist, The Swim and the Mashed Potato. Lessons will be 7-8
p.m. April 11 and 18 at the Springwood Hall Gym at IU East.
Tickets
are available for "Twist and Shout." The cost is $100 per person, with
$65 of that being a tax-deductible donation. For more information, call
(765) 966-5181 or go to richmondsymphony.org.
