I hope everyone is having a good summer (or winter, depending on where you are). There used to be a Beatles cover tune topic at the old board. I couldn't find one here, but I wanted everybody to continue with sharing Beatles covers.
The Dutch band BLØF recently performed at the Concert at Sea in Brouwersdam-Zeeland on 28 June 2013 and Bertolf Lentink (now with a band called Color Reporters) joined them. One of the tunes they played was "Hey Jude":

Back in 2007, they were performing the entire Abbey Road album, start-to-finish, live. The website has one of the gigs recorded:

I really like Bertolf's solo-guitar cover of "Martha My Dear":
