Beatles Starr On Liverpool's Rooftops
Ex-Beatles drummer Ringo Starr will celebrate Liverpool's crowning as Europe's Capital of Culture by previewing new material from the city's roof tops tonight.
Starr - who releases his semi-autobiographical solo record 'Liverpool 8' on January 14 - will perform live tonight (January 10) from the roof of St George's Hall in Liverpool.
The Wombats and Eurythmics' Dave Stewart (who produced Starr's new album) are also set to play in front of the building.
