What does Rod Stewart, a drainage pipe and Beaulieu have in common?

It all goes back to 1961, when a 16-year-old Rod Stewart reportedly sneaked into the Beaulieu Jazz Festival - and became part of a story that would later be linked to one of his biggest hits.

Now, 65 years later, Beaulieu Village Hall is celebrating its own 50th anniversary with a very fitting tribute night on Saturday 3rd October.

It's quite a story. Read it here: https://bit.ly/4gTSbZ8
