The Quiet Beatle gets his due
The Quiet Beatle gets his due

George Harrison, the late Beatles star and brother of Branson promoter Louise Harrison, was recently honored with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Beatle-mate Paul McCartney was on hand to honor Harrison—the second Beatle after John Lennon with his own star on the Walk.

Because of George's Branson connection—Louise promotes The Liverpool Legends, a popular Beatles tribute outfit—we post this for your enjoyment. And, as our publisher said this morning, any chance to get Paul McCartney on our website should be embraced.

Full press release from the Liverpool Legends' publicist follows.

[Begin full release]

Branson, MO.  Liverpool Beatles legend given Hollywood honour.  Beatles legend George Harrison is to receive a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his tribute to movies and music.

The former guitarist already shares a group star with the other three members of the band but he, like John Lennon, will now have a star of his own.  Known as “the quite Beatle” George was a huge force in the industry having produced many successful British movies and solo albums.

George’s sister Louise now resides in Branson, Missouri, where she promotes her brothers music with The Liverpool Legends, the Ulitmate Beatles Tribute Band.

Louise lived in Illinois when her brother arrived in America and was with him for the Beatles debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.  Louise is known as George’s big sister and tireless promoter of her brothers music.  Louise has appeared on dozens of TV shows.  Internationally, she has been on CNN’s Larry King Live, Aaron Brown, Paula Zahn and Talk Back Live.  Nationally, she has appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America and many more.
