  • Ringo Starr Actuarà Per Primera Vegada En Solitari a Barcelona Aquest Dimarts El Bateria De the Beatles Ho Farà En El Marc Del Guitar BCN 2018
    Cultura i Mitjans | Jordi Novell | Actualitzat el 25/06/2018 a les 12:12 Ringo Starr actuarà per primera vegada en solitari a Barcelona aquest dimarts El bateria de The Beatles ho farà en el marc del Guitar BCN 2018 Ringo Starr | Arxiu Ringo Starr El Liverpool de postguerra no devia ser el millor dels mons per a un nen malaltís com Richard 'Ritchie' Starkey. Malalt d'apendicitis i peritonitis, i fins i tot en coma durant dies, als tretze anys Starkey emmalaltia de tuberculosi. Ingressat durant prop d'un any en un hospital, per esperonar la seva capacitat motriu els metges li van improvisar un mall fet amb una bobina de cotó per colpejar els armaris del costat del seu llit. I d'aquí, a la banda de l'hospital? Amb una mica d'ajuda dels amics Possiblement una de les grans habilitats de Richard Starkey és ser al lloc adequat en el moment precís. Només així es pot entendre com una banda de skiffle de Liverpool que malviu a Hamburg tocant rock acceleradíssim en tuguris de mala mort amb un èxit notable decideix substituir el seu bateria titular. John Lennon, Paul McCartney i George Harrison prescideixen del monolític estil de Pete Best -un del centenar de persones denominades 'el cinquè beatle'- per sondejar el bateria de Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Richard Starkey ja era conegut com Ringo Starr - pels enormes anells que lluïa als dits-, i havia de sentir els crits de "Pete forever! Ringo never!" i algun cop de puny que va forçar que Brian Epstein -denominat el cinqu? au va!- hagués de llogar un guardaespatlles.

I have two letters about him, written to me by my aunt Peg some 40 years ago, when I was young and she was already old.1 I have no letters written by Arthur himself, nor postcards. Did he write any? The answer may be no, because he was only in France and Flanders a short time, though that would not explain any failure to write home from Norfolk, where he spent some months. Certainly, no letters or postcards have survived; but Paul Fussell’s book The Great War and Modern Memory makes it clear that I am probably not missing much. All letters and postcards written by the troops were censored; and in Old Soldiers Never Die Frank Richards tells how the men were ‘not allowed to say what part of the Front [they] were on, or casualties, or the conditions [they] were living in, or the names of the villages or towns [they] were staying in.’ In any event the Tommies communicated in clichés, partly because - true to the national stereotype - they were phlegmatic; and partly because there was a widely shared view that it didn’t do any good, and certainly didn’t cheer the family up, to complain about one’s lot.

  • Beatles History – Part Three: 1970-2008
    BEATLES HISTORY – PART THREE: 1970-2008 The Solo Careers In September 1969, John Lennon told his musical partners at a business meeting that he was leaving The Beatles. It was decided that the split was to be kept secret until the group had secured a profitable new contract with EMI Records. In early 1970, The Beatles’ staff prepared the release of Let It Be, which had been recorded in January 1969. As George Martin had lost interest in the production, American producer Phil Spector was asked to turn The Beatles’ rough recordings into a valuable album. Spec- tor’s involvement, however, caused further friction between the band members, because Paul McCartney felt that Spector was ruining his song “The Long and Winding Road” with a lavish arrangement featuring an orchestra and a choir. In addition, the release of Let It Be collided with the release date of Paul McCartney’s first solo album, McCartney, which was scheduled for 10 April, 1970. The conflicts within the band finally reached their climax when the other Beatles ignored McCartney’s wish of removing Spector’s orchestral arrangement from the recording of his song. Consequently, Paul McCartney decided to inform the public that The Beatles had disbanded. The promotional copies of McCartney’s first album contained an interview, in which he stated that he did not want to work with The Beatles anymore, because of personal and musical dis- agreements. The release date of McCartney is therefore regarded as the date The Beatles broke up, although they legally existed as a band until 1976, when their contracts finally expired.

  • Liverpool 8 and “Liverpool 8”: the Creation of Social Space in the Merseybeat Movement’ Author: Helen Taylor Source: Exegesis (2013) 2, Pp
    Title: ‘Liverpool 8 and “Liverpool 8”: The creation of social space in the Merseybeat movement’ Author: Helen Taylor Source: Exegesis (2013) 2, pp. 34-44 Liverpool 8 and ‘Liverpool 8’: The creation of social space in the Merseybeat movement Helen Taylor The creative life of the city of Liverpool is wide-ranging, from Gerald Manley Hopkins to Levi Tafari, via the Pre- Raphaelite collection of the Walker Art Gallery and the Beatles’ Cavern. In the 1960s, one of the most important literary and cultural phenomena of the city emerged: the poetry movement called Merseybeat. Liverpool itself is central to this movement and both the external effects of this on, as well as the poets’ internal engagement with, the city need to be recognised. Liverpool owes its economic life to the Mersey, and it is from the Mersey that creative life flows into the city; it could not exist without it. This article will consider first the relationship of three of the Merseybeat poets to the city of Liverpool itself and then drill down to the district with which the poets most often identify: Liverpool 8. The three poets at the centre of the Merseybeat movement were Adrian Henri, Roger McGough, and Brian Patten, who lived and worked in the city in the 1960s. Whilst all three would go on to work in different fields and have distinct writing styles, what binds them together in this place in this period is an emphasis on live performance. Merseybeat is a ‘total art’ movement, using the live event in order to foster a direct connection with an audience, and seeing verbal, vocal, and visual performance (music, visual artworks, collaborative poetic and comedy sketches, ‘happenings’…) as key to the expression and dissemination of poetry.

  • The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
    The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation.

    Digital Re-analysis of Lost or Unbuilt Architecture Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by: Nicholas James Webb August 2012 To my Grandparents Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank Professor André Brown for his support and supervision. Whilst having to juggle numerous responsibilities as Head of School, your willingness to give your time so generously is very much appreciated; you have been a constant source of inspiration and knowledge. Mike Knight also provided me with very valuable supervision in the development of this research. Thank you for all of your advice and guidance, and for putting up with so many unscheduled appearances in your office asking for help. I am sincerely grateful to the University of Liverpool for their tuition fees grant, as well as the School of Architecture for providing a study bursary. Without this financial support, the research would not have been possible. I would also like to thank the Franco British Union of Architects for funding the collection of key data in France for the Perret case study. Particular gratitude is paid to Johnny Devas and Professor Charles MacCallum for their suggestions, as well as giving me the opportunity to present my findings in Le Havre; merci beaucoup. I would like to show my gratitude to all of the academic staff in the School of Architecture for their help and direction, particularly Professor Barry Gibbs and Professor Mark Swenarton. I would also like to thank Marion Winsor, Sue Wilkinson and all of the administrative staff; the school is not the same without you here.

  • Regenerating Liverpool Pier Head Waterfront: the Role of Urban Design
    City, Culture and Architecture 2015; 1(1): 21-38 ISSN: 2148-1938 (Print) ISSN: 2149-8202 (Online) DOI: 10.15340/2148193811851 Research Article Regenerating Liverpool Pier Head Waterfront: the Role of Urban Design Mohamed Fageir1*, Nicole Porter2, Katharina Borsi3 1 2 3 University of Nottingham, UK Abstract: This paper investigates the processes by which the regeneration of the historical Pier Head waterfront in Liverpool took place during the first decade of the twenty-first century. The research focuses on three key regeneration projects at Pier Head Waterfront, namely the Fourth Grace, the New Museum of Liverpool and Mann Island Development. Each of these projects has undergone a relatively different process and, hence, faced different challenges and produced different outcomes. This study is based on a series of lengthy interviews with key stakeholders closely linked with the regeneration of the waterfront, a review of project related documents including urban design policy and guidance, a substantial review of relevant news articles that were written throughout the period of the recent transformation of the waterfront, and numerous site visits. By understanding the peculiarities of the global forces that drive large scale developments and the local context in which they occurred at Pier Head, several insights regarding the process of regeneration emerge. Findings foreground the role of urban design in urban waterfront regeneration, illustrating that despite the complexity of managing change, urban design has the capacity to mediate between the local and global forces and the needs/ desires of investors and local communities. Urban design is also imperative for challenging the negative impact of globalisation on the urban landscape.
