Father and son land dream gig

Seventeen-year-old Ben Turnbull will perform on the Headline Stage at September's Open Jar Tribute Festival in a Beatles tribute band alongside his dad Matt.

The father and son duo, from Seaton Carew, have already notched up dozens of gigs all over the country together as The HartBeatles since teaming up around a year ago.

Ben was exposed to The Beatles' iconic music for years as dad Matt, 47, played in numerous tribute acts including as Paul McCartney on a cruise ship.
