A series of Fruit Tree Records Mixcloud shows that celebrate not just the fabness of the Beatles, but an ever expanding musical universe that has blossomed from their brilliant melodic, psychedelic seed. In addition to some straight ahead Beatles music there are solo tunes, cover versions, fab inspirations and there are tracks with direct links, a more tenuous link (a writing credit or an appearance by a Beatle) or just simply tunes that are out-and-out Beatle inspired. This one has the potential to run and run so here we go, all together now…
