Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (RLPO) staged an event titled "George Harrison 'Within You Without You': The Story of The Beatles and Indian Music" at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. While carrying out research for this project, academics from the University of Liverpool and the University of Sheffield discovered the identity of the Indian musicians on the 1967 recording. The two surviving players, Buddhadev Kansara and Natwar Soni, were among the performers at the RLPO event.
