With its star, supporting cast, director, producer and music supervisor in prominent attendance and a special, surprise late-night screening that followed up the packed, enthusiastic showing on Saturday morning, the unreleased Neil Innes biopic The Seventh Python is surely the hottest news to come out of The Fest for Beatles Fans that continues with overflow crowds today in Chicago.
The film from our pals at Frozen Pictures had its world premiere in June at Martin Lewis' Mods & Rockers Film Festival in Hollywood and is on the march to a New York City screening soon to be announced as producers look for theatrical distribution for what's proving to be a crowd pleaser that has audiences cheering, laughing, crying and singing along!
Neil Innes with superfan, Barbara Poudrier, who’s developed and runs several Innes fansites.
Key to The Seventh Python mania among the thousands of fans who’ve lined up this weekend with Python memorabilia and posters, is the approachable charisma of the movie’s star, Neil Innes, who's become a key figure at these Beatles Fests-- and an unexpected comeback of Seventies pop stars and John Lennon compadres The Hudson Brothers, who teamed up with Innes onstage and at signing sessions.
Mark and Brett Hudson eat in public.
Mark Hudson, familiar to Beatle Fest fans for writing with and producing Ringo Starr (and in a remarkable coup, filling for a lost friend by recording a tracks with George, Paul and Ringo ) was joined by brother Brett, who returns to performing after 28 years. A noted television and film writer and producer, Brett is producer and writer of The Seventh Python (Mark is music supervisor).
The trio was a triple-threat of promotion and star quality, joined occasionally by non-celeb Seventh director Burt Kearns.
Brett Hudson and Kearns entertained a large crowd last night with their stories of the making of The Seventh Python, a forum in which Brett revealed publicly that there will indeed be a Hudson brothers reunion (probably in New York City) and a documentary film produced by himself and Kearns.
Their talk was dwarfed by the no-standing-room-left Mark and Brett discussion moderated by Martin Lewis ("A Brit a A Brett & A Brat"). The fest continues today, and will be capped by another huge concert featuring the Hudsons (two out of three, so far) and Neil Innes.

Yea Hudson Brothers! Two out of three if definitely fantastic!! "A Brit, a Brett and a Brat", I love it!! Now if only Bill would make an appearance ....
Wish I was in Chicago this weekend instead of at home in Seattle. A tour would be wonderful! Probably wishful thinking, but wonderful nonetheless!!
.....the power team look great! Do they do other stuff?
My goodness we look pretty darn good in that picture!! You do have a way with the camera, sir!!
It was great spending the weekend working for you and Brett; hope to be doing it again real soon!
Peace and Love,
