    Pop Culture Universe: Icons, Idols, Ideas 6/3/14, 10:09 AM print page close window The Beatles The most successful group of the 1960s, the Beatles reshaped and reinvigorated rock and roll, arriving in the post- Presley period just when rock music had been tamed. Isolated from the cultural center of London, the Beatles emerged from the unlikely working-class environment of Liverpool, England, an industrial shipping-port city where residents had access to foreign goods such as American rhythm and blues (R&B) and jazz records. With British radio playing few American rock records in the late 1950s, these American imports exposed aspiring musicians John Lennon and Paul McCartney to Little Richard and Fats Domino. Lennon's childhood was marred by exploding Nazi bombs, and an unstable home life. After the divorce of his parents, Lennon was raised by his aunt and uncle, Mimi and George Smith. After hearing Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel," Lennon pursued a career in music, abandoning the notion of being a sailor like his father. Given an inexpensive guitar by his mother Julia, Lennon suffered another tragedy when she was struck and killed by a bus. The son of a jazz bandleader, McCartney grew up in a stable environment until 1956, when his mother died of cancer. While attending the prestigious Liverpool Institute, McCartney became obsessed with the guitar, finally purchasing one at age 14. A fan of rockabilly, he emulated guitarists like Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran. The eldest Beatle, Richard Starkey Jr. (later, Ringo Starr), was the son of a baker.

  • John Lennon's Biography
    John Lennon’s Biography John Lennon was a very talented writer. He was asked to write a biography for Merseybeat, a fortnightly magazine about rock ‘n’ roll owned by editor, Bill Harry. It was an essential read for fans of the Liverpool music scene and The Beatles appeared numerous times in its pages. John wrote the following biography: Once upon a time there were three little boys called John, George and Paul, by name christened. They decided to get together because they were the getting together type. When they were together they wondered what for after all, what for? So all of a sudden they grew guitars and fashioned a noise. Funnily enough, no one was interested, least of all the three little men. So-o-o-o on discovering a fourth little even littler man called Stuart Sutcliffe running about them they said, quite ‘Sonny get a bass guitar and you will be alright’ and he did – but he wasn’t alright because he couldn’t play it. So they sat on him with comfort ’til he could play. Still there was no beat, and a kindly old man said, quote ‘Thou hast not drums!’ We had no drums! they coffed. So a series of drums came and went and came. Suddenly, in Scotland, touring with Johnny Gentle, the group (called the Beatles called) discovered they had not a very nice sound – because they had no amplifiers. They got some. Many people ask what are Beatles? Why Beatles? Ugh, Beatles, how did the name arrive? So we will tell you.

  • A History of International Beatleweek (PDF)
    The History of International Beatleweek International Beatleweek celebrates the most famous band in the world in the city where it was born – attracting thousands of Fab Four fans and dozens of bands to Liverpool each year. The history of Beatleweek goes back to 1977 when Liverpool’s first Beatles Convention was held at Mr Pickwick’s club in Fraser Street, off London Road. The two-day event, staged in October, was organised by legendary Cavern Club DJ Bob Wooler and Allan Williams, entrepreneur and The Beatles’ early manager, and it included live music, guest speakers and special screenings. In 1981, Liz and Jim Hughes – the pioneering couple behind Liverpool’s pioneering Beatles attraction, Cavern Mecca – took up the baton and arranged the First Annual Mersey Beatle Extravaganza at the Adelphi Hotel. It was a one-day event on Saturday, August 29 and the special guests were Beatles authors Philip Norman, Brian Southall and Tony Tyler. In 1984 the Mersey Beatle event moved to St George’s Hall where guests included former Cavern Club owner Ray McFall, Beatles’ press officer Tony Barrow, John Lennon’s uncle Charles Lennon and ‘Father’ Tom McKenzie. Cavern Mecca closed in 1984, and after the city council stepped in for a year to keep the event running, in 1986 Cavern City Tours was asked to take over the Mersey Beatle Convention. It has organised the annual event ever since. International bands started to make an appearance in the late 1980s, with two of the earliest groups to make the journey to Liverpool being Girl from the USA and the USSR’s Beatle Club.

  • Beatles History – Part One: 1956–1964
    BEATLES HISTORY – PART ONE: 1956–1964 January 1956–June 1957: The ‘Skiffle Craze’ In January 1956, Lonnie Donegan’s recording of “Rock Island Line” stormed into the British hit parade and started what would become known as the ‘skiffle craze’ in Great Britain (vgl. McDevitt 1997: 3). Skiffle was originally an amateur jazz style comprising elements of blues, gospel, and work songs. The instrumentation resembled New Or- leans street bands called ‘spasms,’ which relied on home-made instru- ments. Before skiffle was first professionally recorded by American jazz musicians in the 1920s and 1930s, it had been performed at ‘rent parties’ in North American cities like Chicago and Kansas City. Many African- American migrant workers organized rent parties in order to raise money for their monthly payments (vgl. Garry 1997: 87). Skiffle provided the musical entertainment at these parties, as everybody was able to partici- pate in the band, which usually consisted of home-made acoustic guitars or a piano backed by a rhythm section of household instruments, such as a washboard, a washtub bass, and a jug (vgl. McDevitt 1997:16). Jazz trumpeter and guitarist Ken Colyer pioneered the skiffle scene in Great Britain. In 1949, he formed the Crane River Jazz Band in Cran- ford, Middlesex, together with Ben Marshall (guitar), Pat Hawes (wash- board), and Julian Davies (bass). Their repertoire included skiffle songs “to illustrate aspects of the roots of jazz and to add variety to a pro- gramme” (Dewe 1998: 4). After leaving the group in 1951, Colyer mi- grated to the United States to work with jazz musicians in New Orleans.
