FILMING

Joe with Cafe La Fortuna 's Vincent Urwand

The Los Angeles base crew flew to Liverpool to film Joe Power at Penny Lane, Strawberry fields, The Quarry Bank School and The Jacaranda bar to name a few. Joe then flew to New York where he filmed at Strawberry fields in Central park and visited the Dakota building, John Lennon’s home.
   

IMAGINE tribute to John Lennon, in New York's Central Park

Joe Power was also privileged to meet Vincent Urwand owner of Café La Fortuna in New York who was friendly with John for years. Lennon frequented the cafe several times a week always sitting at his favourite table and sharing stories with Vinnie. It was one evening at Café La Fortuna that Joe contacted John Lennon whilst sitting with “Uncle Vinnie” at the very table John and Yoko Ono sat every week all those years ago.  
   

The Séance with Joe, Mike & Uncle Vinnie

Also present was Beetles enthusiast Curtis Pollock and Gwen Frey. Joe Power gave amazingly accurate and detailed information from John in the spirit world to Uncle Vinnie. Information only he would know.  The reading was touching for everyone especially Uncle Vinnie and Mike Trapani, Vinnies Nephew who has now taken over the Café. It was a real pleasure to meet them both.
