The History of The Beatles

The Beatles were a four piece band from Liverpool, England. Their music was pop before popular music was truly established. Born in the forties, The Beatles were to ultimately add fame and fortune to Liverpool and themselves. To a generation, the Beatles were the Fab Four who changed music forever. The band consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. In the early days though the line up was a little different.These days only Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney live to carry on a little of the Beatles Legend. John Lennon and Paul McCartney met at a parish church fete in 1957. These two were to become the songwriters of the group and the main vocalists

Remembering the Beatles

Picture
This week Paul McCartney turned 70. As this integral member of the Fab Four, The Beatles, entered another decade those of us who remember the heady days of the sixties have been reminded of our youth.  It may be the rose colored glasses of age that make us think the time was perfect but for many of us it was close to perfection in many ways. So what was it about The Beatles that was so special? Read More Here

John Lennon

Scouser to American
John Winston Lennon was born on 9th October 1940 during a German bombing raid over Liverpool. Entering the world during such precarious times meant that soon after his birth he was placed under his mother, robust, hospital bed for safety. There was no father at his birth as John’s Dad, Alf, was away at sea. .......more here

George Harrison

The Quiet One
George Harold Harrison was born on 25th February 1943 and was therefore the youngest Beatle. He was the lead guitarist. He soon became known as the quiet Beatle due to his shy and somewhat introspective personality. As Lennon and McCartney soon became the main songwriters for The Beatles there is little wonder that George was pushed into the background.  More here
