The Beatles Story, Part 1 – Beatlemania!, 62-65
A fascinating talk about the early years of the Beatles! Our guest speaker will discuss this wonderful group, who made so many fantastic recordings during the era of Beatlemania: ‘Love Me Do’, ‘She Loves You’, ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’, ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, ‘Help!’, ‘Day Tripper’ and ‘We Can Work It Out’. We will hear snippets of each of these great records and many more.
Speaker: Martin Orkin began listening to pop and rock music in 1962, when the charts were ruled by the likes of Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard. It was an amazing time for pop music! Hear him explain how decades later he came to put pen to paper and enjoy anecdotes from his research. Signed copies of Martin’s latest Beatles-related book will be available to buy after his talk at a big discount to the recommended price.
