| At the G8 Conference in Holland, Jools and
his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra performed All You Need is Love
for the leaders of the western world. On hearing the trumpet introduction,
Jacques Chirac mistook it for the opening of the French national anthem
and stood up. Out of courtesy Mr Blair, Mr Clinton, and Mr Yeltsin also stood. Once they realised it was The Beatles' song, and to avoid an international incident, they carried on dancing. After the performance, Bill Clinton spent half an hour with the brass section – talking about saxophones. [ back ] |
