_ 17 december 2011,  we received a notification that the Russian authorities seek to ban "The Bhagavad Gita - As It Is" - which is a translation of what is regarded as the Hindu Bible by Prabhupad the Founder of ISCKON (Hare Krishnas) as "extremist" Literature... what next. Will other Books which are considered holy be banned too. Please sign this - it doesn't matter what Religion or Faith you follow - it is a question of human rights. Please pass on to your friends too. Thank You

"Living in the Material World" - The Book

"Living in the Material World draws on Harrison's personal archive of never-before-seen photographs, letters, diaries, and memorabilia to reveal the full arc of his life, including his guitar-obsessed boyhood in Liverpool, the astonishment of the Beatles years—illustrated with George's own photographs—and his days as a solo musician and bohemian country squire. It also chronicles his lifelong commitment to Indian music and his adventures as a movie producer and member of the Traveling Wilburys. The book will be filled with reminiscences from Harrison's friends, among them Eric Clapton, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George's family."

Out this autumn alongside the film of the same name directed by Martin Scorcese.

Last Service at Our Lady Of Good Help

Sunday 3rd April 11 am was the last service in the Church's 124 year history. George was christened here and accompanied his Mum and siblings to Mass on Sunday till he was 12 years old.
The Church was packed to the rafters with not even standing room. There were many tears. The hymns were sung with more feeling than ever and the last Blessing took on a special significance.
