Kiwi violin virtuoso who played on The Beatles' 'Hey Jude' to be celebrated

Alan Loveday, from Palmerston North, was a world-renowned violinist, who also played on one of The Beatles' most beloved recordings.

It's one of the most recognisable choruses in pop music, and a Kiwi can be found among its 'nah nah nahs'.

The Beatles' Hey Jude is turning 50 this year, but a milestone of a more classical kind will honour the late violin virtuoso from Manawatū who took part in its recording.

Alan Loveday, recognised as one of the finest classical violinists of the 20th century, will be honoured with a tribute concert by New Zealand Symphony Orchestra soloists in his home city of Palmerston North in June.

But it is his contribution to one of pop's enduring classics that will likely resonate most with Kiwis.
