John Lennon the Focus of New 'Immersive' London Exhibit

Via the NME : Set to kick off on May 22 in Camden, ‘Live Odyssey’ has been previously described as “a celebration of the rich tapestry of British music, offering a unique experience for music lovers of all ages” through “a groundbreaking tribute to the sounds that shaped Britain”. [John Lennon's step-sister] Julia Baird will be unveiling a multi-sensory immersive exhibit dedicated to the late Beatle on its opening which “details the early years that shaped Lennon through to a life of stratospheric fame with The Beatles.” ...“Julia is set to reveal the battle between two strong, self-willed women – John’s mother and his Aunt Mimi – to win custody of John.
