I WAS still in short trousers when the Fab Four called it a day, but growing up with a Beatles mad dad means I know most of their most well-known songs.

Timeless classics that demand your respect whatever music you’re into. It may be more than 40 years since the mighty Merseysiders went their separate ways. However, there sure to be playing this magical material in another 40 years, and more.

Of course there will only ever be one John, Paul, George and Ringo but the musicians paying homage to their glorious back catalogue in Let It Be certainly pay them a stirring and memorable tribute.

Without being deadringers, the performers certainly have the mannerisms of the originals and the standard of playing is exceptional.

With very little dialogue, Let It Be traces the band’s rise to stardom from their Cavern performances - can you believe that iconic venue was demolished? - to stadium filling global super stardom. The Brits love nostalgia and TV screens above the Palace Theatre stage broadcast 60s TV ads and film footage of the supergroup’s most memorable moments, from the Royal Variety Performance to the legendary Shea Stadium gig.

With a playlist that includes All You Need Is Love, Blackbird, Can’t Buy Me Love, The Long And Winding Road, Revolution and While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Let It Be is sure to be huge box office hit. Where there’s nostalgia, there’s brass.
