Chinese New Year 2023 - Year of the Rabbit

The date of the Chinese New Year celebrations is linked to the lunar cycle and as a consequence, the actual date set for the Chinese New Year varies each year. An almost infallible guide to calculating the actual timing for the start of the celebrations is that New Year follows the second new moon after the winter solstice.

Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr or as they are still collectively known to this day, The Beatles ruled the music world and given their achievements it’s right and proper that we celebrate them with an annual event every June.
