Imagine - No Lennon

For more than 45 years, John Lennon has been in Rock-n-Roll Heaven. No one ever equaled his talent to keep a finger on the pulse of society with pop music. No pop star ever sowed so much unrest, even into the Witte Huis. His ultimate act is in Imagine: just a brotherhood of men. Just go for a world community full of people, with ‘nothing to kill or die for’. So no possession, no politics... and no religion too. How topical can something sound? Reason enough for a commemoration, a celebration - built around ‘Give Peace a Chance’, ‘All You Need is Love’, ‘Revolution’, ‘Power to the People’, and all other hits that flowed from the pen and guitar of this ‘working class hero’ during Beatle years and solo career. A struggle project with and around Lennon. De Opper-Beatle. De Superster. De Relschopper. De Vredesapostel. De Twijfelaar. De Wereldverbeteraar. Het Genie. De Liefdesprofeet. The Walrus. De Revolutionair. De Dromer. In the career of Jean Bosco Safari, The Beatles form a common thread and an example. Ben Crabbé shone for years as a prominent member of Beatles cover band ‘The Apples’. Who better than they could put together and inspire this top band that brings ‘Imagine No Lennon’? On December 10, 2015, the premiere took place in De Roma in Antwerp. Is now already entering its 9th successful season.
