FANS of John Lennon will have the chance to relive the songs which made him one of the most iconic singer-songwriters of all time when Lennon the Legend arrives in Rhyl.
John Lennon gained worldwide fame as a member and one of the founders of the Beatles, where his influence and impact was enormous.
In his solo career, he wrote and recorded such classics as Give Peace a Chance and Imagine, becoming a performer of immense stature.
As well as being a musician, John Lennon was also a man who followed his own beliefs, and used his celebrity status to bring a message of peace and love to a global audience.
It’s difficult to overestimate his impact on the world stage.
Lennon the Legend is a show that captures all of it. The look, the feel, the sound – it’s all there.
His life was tragically cut short, but his music lives on.
Lennon’s first wife Cynthia and her son Julian – who was fathered by John – eventually set up home in Ruthin and Cynthia ran a restaurant on Well Street in the town called Oliver's Bistro which also had a B&B above it.
Lennon the Legend will be appearing at the Pavilion Theatre, Rhyl this April 24 at 7.30pm. Tickets are £15, concessions £1.50 off.
