From examiner.com:
Louise Harrison, George Harrison's sister, told Beatles Examiner in a phone call she's planning on publishing her memoirs sometime in 2013.
“I'm working very very hard at getting my memoirs together,” she said. “Southern Illinois University Press is going to be publishing it. I'm going to be spending the last week in January with them and I hope to get my photos and all that together for them to put into the book.”
Plans for the book are to come out in September.
“We're looking at the moment to having the release date for the book to be about September 15 in 2013 because that will be the 50th anniversary of when George (Harrison) came to visit the United States. He was the first Beatle to ever set foot in the United States.”

Thanks for sharing that Parlance, I had no idea she was writing a book. Should be interesting.

George's sister Louise Harrison hires public relations firm
Jennifer Vanderslice, owner of MoonGlow PR, is proud to announce that her firm has been hired by Louise Harrison to handle all her future public relations.
Louise Harrison is the only sister of the late George Harrison of the Beatles. Louise was born and raised in Liverpool, UK where she attended La Sagesse Grammar School before enrolling in St. Mary's College Fenham in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. She is the owner of Louise Harrison Entertainment Ltd., the management firm the Beatles tribute band Liverpool Legends and the founder of Louise Harrison's Help Keep Music Alive, an organization that raises funds for the music departments of high schools and colleges.
Ms. Harrison was nominated Grammy Award in 2011 for her voice-over work on a Beatles themed audio book. She has been doing voice-overs and spoken narratives since the mid 60's and continues working in the industry today.
In February 2013, Louise Harrison has plans to organize a concert, headlined by Liverpool Legends, in honor of her brother George's 70th birthday. Louise will also be organizing a weeklong celebration in September in Benton, Illinois of the 50th anniversary of George Harrison being the first Beatle to come to America and perform.
Later this year, Louise Harrison's memoir will be published. The book will focus on the Harrison family and World War II.

Me too! There´s a weekly Beatles tribute band at a pub near to where I live and my parents go but I shudder at the thought of it. I don´t understand why you would want to see four usually middle-aged men trying (and failing) to imitate their idols…?

Same here. Was offered the chance to go see the Bootleg Beatles but declined immediately. 2 hours of 4 guys dressed up as the beatles; all i'd do is spend the time thinking what a waste of time – just give me youtube and i'll watch the actual Fab Four.

It's a bit weird, because I didn't mind the Green Day and Iron Maiden tribute bands I've seen in a pub near my house. But that's sorta different, because we didn't really pay attention and I don't know a lot of their repertoire anyway. If it was a Beatles tribute band I'd probably cringe the shit out of myself and be all frustrated and indeed annoyed by the middle aged thing. It's probably also because they're a classic and legendary band and my favourite band. Bands like GD and IM are just..bands lol

I don't have a problem with tribute bands as long as their musicianship is solid… and they're not trying to look like them. There's nothing worse than middle-aged guys impersonating twenty-somethings in moptops. There are so many songs the Beatles couldn't do live at the time, that I do enjoy finding a really good tribute band on YouTube that's managed to conquer them, like the Fab Faux.
Er, slightly getting back on topic, I haven't heard anything about the Liverpool Legends or if they're any good.

Yeah, I agree that tribute bands are only good if the music is good and they're not trying to look like the Beatles. I went to a tribute band concert, and they really weren't bad, and it almost sounded (note I said "almost," not "it actually did") like I was at a live Beatles concert when I closed my eyes.

I saw the Liverpool Legends a couple years ago and it was good. Louise was there and she talked about George and answered questions. Then, afterwards she hugs everybody because one of the last times she saw George before he died he hugged her and told her to pass it on, so she does (I didn't do that, nobody I went with was going to wait).

All the same, that is such a sweet story.
