Meet George Harrison: An Exclusive Interview with The Fab Four's Gavin Pring
The Fab Four: The Ultimate Tribute, an Emmy-winning Beatles tribute band, will be performing at the Florida Theatre on December 14. The band will be playing music from The Beatles' second film Help! Gavin Pring, who portrays George Harrison in the group, shared insights with WOKV's Chase Bunker about meeting Paul McCartney, Harrison's enduring legacy, and what attendees can anticipate at a Fab Four concert.
According to Pring, audiences can expect an exciting and nostalgic experience at a Fab Four show. For those familiar with The Beatles, it may feel like a trip down memory lane to the band's heyday in the '60s. For newcomers, it offers a glimpse into the phenomenon that surrounded The Beatles during that era.
Pring had the opportunity to meet Paul McCartney at George Harrison's tribute show in Liverpool shortly after Harrison's passing. McCartney's heartfelt rendition of "Yesterday" with altered lyrics left a profound impact on the audience, including Pring. The encounter with McCartney, where they exchanged lighthearted remarks about their resemblance to each other, was a memorable experience for Pring.
In the full interview, Gavin Pring discusses Harrison's guitar influence and more. Tickets for The Fab Four's performance are currently available for purchase. For additional interviews with Chase, visit the Chase Chats section on the website.
