By The McCartney Years
Orillia - This year, the annual Beatles Celebration - the biggest in Canada-, will have a special touch! The McCartney Years will headline this major event with a concert at the Orillia Opera House on Saturday, September 18. "We are extremely excited and of course honoured to be headlining at such a big event", Pool says. Just last year, The McCartney Years performed the entire rooftop concert on a roof in downtown Orillia that drew thousands of people and was dubbed 'highlight of the festival' by the media. The BeatleFest organization and local corporations, including Casino Rama sponsoring this event did not think twice about inviting The McCartney Years back for a headline event in the city. "It was great being in Orillia. We had such a fantastic time last year. The volunteers, the city and the local businesess have all been very welcoming and I know this year's event is going to be equally - if not even more successful than ever. With such a great line-up of other acts, that is just a matter of fact", says Pool.
