So may I introduce to you, the (tribute) act you've known for all these years: this week we’re joined by the Mersey Beatles, specifically Craig who performs as George Harrison. Craig talks about the space in the Beatles tribute universe for niche and unusual acts, adding period specific visuals to Mersey Beatles and being vetoed on lighting incense during gigs.
