FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR KITE

Happy Valentine !
On this day . . . 179 years ago . . . A special Valentine Trip to the Circus of Pablo Fangue. Billed as the Grandest Night of the Season . . .
Being for the
Benefit of Mr Kite
(late of Well’s Circus) and
Mr J Henderson
The celebrated Somerset Thrower !
Wire dancer, Vaulter & Rider
On Tuesday evening February 14th 1843
Hopefully those words ring a bell . . . as stories suggest that all these circus performers became part of the lyrics for The Beatles Sgt Pepper Album. The Beatles had stopped touring and needed a concept that re-created the image of a live music experience. The album showed that each Beatle had taken on a different persona to become, not The Beatles, but Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Stay safe everyone !
