A 1960s poster for a concert signed by the man who designed posters for The Beatles helped raise over £800 at a charity event organised by a North Wales lawyer for a top cancer charity.
Lisa Harbour, who has joined the Family Law team at Swayne Johnson which has branches across North Wales, received the donation of the poster from a family member who was left the rare item by her great uncle, Tony Booth.
Tony worked with Beatles manager Brian Epstein, and famously designed posters for the Fab Four in their early years.
This one was for a concert at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, in the early Sixties when the Fab Four were headlining ahead of Gerry and the Pacemakers and Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
Lisa, 35, who is based at Swayne Johnson’s St Asaph office, said: “My mum died of breast cancer when I was 17 after being treated at Clatterbridge Hospital who were really wonderful with her.
“Her uncle used to work with Brian Epstein and The Beatles in the 1960s and did the artwork for their concert posters and of course they’re now collectors’ items and sell for a lot of money but we wanted to keep this one in the family for sentimental reasons.
“Mum would have been 60 this year and we thought it would be great to mark that by having a fundraising event and auctioning this signed and framed poster in aid of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity and it’s actually a cousin who bid successfully for it so we know great-uncle Tony’s work is staying in the family and will be cherished.
