The Atlantics and Mental As Anything guitarist Martin Cilia has recorded an album of Beatles covers titled ‘Here Comes The Sun’.
Martin says, “My first memory of “The Fab Four” was in early 1964. I was 5 years old.
“The Beatles were performing at the London Palladium. No, I wasn’t there. But thanks to the little black and white television set in our front room, I had my introduction to Beatlemania. Our family was living in Rochford, Essex, near Southend-On-Sea and the mouth of the River Thames. A mere 40 miles east of London and all this excitement.
“I can remember saying to my dad, “Why all the screaming? It’s hard to hear the music.” My dad smiled.
“The song I remember from that performance is “All My Loving” which would have been a fairly new back then. They were so exciting and played with such enthusiasm. It’s a memory that has stayed with me all these years.
“Here Comes The Sun is my take on some of their songs – with the guitar doing the singing. Oh, and by the way, I also wrote a song called “Abbey Road” to close out this album. My tribute. I hope that I’ve done them justice”.
