  • 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.

  • Yo U've Go T to Hi De Your Lo V E Aw
    Yo u’ve Go t to Hi de Your Lo v e Aw a y (The Beatles) [Verse 1] Here I stand head in hand Turn my face to the wall If she's gone I can't go on Feeling two-foot small Everywhere people stare Each and every day I can see them laugh at me And I hear them say [Chorus] Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away [Verse 2] How can I even try I can never win Hearing them, seeing them In the state I'm in How could she say to me Love will find a way Gather round all you clowns Let me hear you say [Chorus] Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away 255 "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" is a song by English rock band the Beatles. It was written and sung by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and released on the album Help! in August 1965. Lennon said of the song, "That's me in my Dylan period again. I am like a chameleon, influenced by whatever is going on. If Elvis can do it, I can do it. If the Everly Brothers can do it, me and Paul can. Same with Dylan." The song is an early example of John self-reflecting in his writing, which had begun with songs such as "I'm a Loser" in the summer of 1964. Lennon wrote the song at home during what he called his "Dylan period," wanting another song for the film Help!.

  • 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.

In both sound and imagery, pop music, particularly that of the Beatles, is a principal medium of memory for the period. For the period from 1965, the progressive aspects of pop music, particularly in sonic and lyrical complexity, expressed a retrospective, pastoral strain that was itself a form of memory of other periods and places, of childhood and country life. The Beatles double-A-sided single Strawberiy Fieldsforever/Penny Lane, released in February 1967, epitomizes these complexities in a suburban version of pastoral, recalling the Liverpool childhoods of songwriters John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

  • The 5Th Beatle Outline
    THE FIFTH Outline for a Documentary Written by David Johnston “The Beatles are the most famous rock group that has ever existed or ever will exist. They are, in fact, the second-most-famous four- human collective within any context whatsoever (the four Gospel writers are No. 1; Notre Dame’s 1924 “Four Horsemen” backfield rank a distant third). Moreover, the Beatles are the only band whose population is central to their iconography: John, Paul, George and Ringo shall always be the Fab Four. And because that number is so important, pop historians have spent decades trying to decide who deserves classification as Beatle No. 5.” Chuck Klosterman, obituary of Quarryman and “Tenth Beatle” Eric Griffiths in The New York Times Magazine, December 25th, 2005 Many have aspired to it, some have claimed it for themselves, a rare few have had it bestowed upon them, but to date no one person has established an uncontested claim to the title of Fifth Beatle. The Fifth will take up and examine the debate and trace the growth of this unique pop cultural phenomenon. A handful of the Beatles’ fellow travellers hold a legitimate claim to Fifth Beatle status – early members such as bass player/fashion maven Stuart Sutcliffe and drummer Pete Best, manager and Beatlemania impresario Brian Epstein, producer/arranger George Martin and Billy Preston, the only musician to share a writing credit with the band (on “Get Back”) and who was asked by John Lennon to join the band shortly before its breakup. But it doesn’t stop there. Yoko Ono, Linda Eastman, tour managers Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans, Jimmy Nichol (the drummer who replaced Ringo for several weeks on tour in 1964), deejay Murray the K (who coined the term Fifth Beatle), and crazed mentor Tony Sheridan are among the usual suspects.
