SynopsisExplore 'Beatle Land' and the iconic sites associated with The Beatles' fame, revealing why the city of Liverpool was crucial to their success., Explore 'Beatle Land' and the iconic sites associated with their fame, revealing why the city of Liverpool was crucial to their success. Liverpool sits on the bank of the River Mersey in north-west England. The 'Fab Four', John, Paul, George and Ringo, were all born and brought up here in Merseyside. This book explores their early influences, people and places that shaped their musical direction. Places to Visit and Content include: Early childhood influences include schools, parents and relatives that left an indelible mark on the character of the boys as they grew up. St Peter's Church where Paul famously first met John, who was playing in his band The Quarrymen in the grounds at a fete and in St Peter's Church Hall where they first played music together with Paul remembering John's 'beery breath'. The Mersey Ferry, known as 'the floating fish and chip shop', provided a great venue for the Beatles to perform in 1961 and 1962. 'Strawberry Fields Forever' was released as a double A-side single with 'Penny Lane' in 1967. As well as two of the most iconic Beatles's songs, they are also places to visit in Liverpool. The grounds of Strawberry Fields are where John visited summer fairs with his aunt. A new exhibition opened here in 2019 telling the story of John's childhood. 'Penny Lane' celebrates the Bus Roundabout in Penny Lane and recalls how Paul would often meet John there. The Cavern Club - the iconic music venue said to be 'dark, dingy, smelly and damp' when the Beatles played there 292 times and where Brian Epstein first saw them perform at a lunchtime session in November 1961. Looks at Brian Epstein's role and influence as another Liverpool lad, who became their subsequent manager Includes Location Map
