    MEDIA INFORMATION NO HAMBURG, NO BEATLES: THE HISTORY OF THE FAB FOUR IN HAMBURG From the evolution of the Hamburg Sound to today’s club scene On 17 August 1960, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best played their first gig at the Indra Club in the legendary St Pauli district of Hamburg. Mark Lewisohn, the acclaimed Beatles author, aptly commented “No Hamburg, no Beatles”. The Beatles, some of whom were still minors in the beginning, spent two years in Hamburg, with only a few breaks in between. Here, they laid the foundations for their global career. Following their debut in 1960, the Beatles played in Hamburg more often than anywhere else in the world – with 300 concerts, five contracts with four different music clubs, and about 1,200 hours spent on Hamburg stages. John Lennon once said “I grew up in Liverpool but I came of age in Hamburg”, and this is arguably the story of the Beatles in Hamburg in a nutshell. It all began with a shock. When The Beatles got their first engagement in Hamburg on the 17th of August 1960, they where full of anticipation. The Hanseatic City was considered to be the perfect place to make good money by giging. And the Reeperbahn was the incarnation of adventure for those naive from Liverpool. Where nowadays countless cutting-edge music clubs line the neon bright streets, back in the day, the audience craved for all night entertainment – especially for exciting music, such as Rock‘n‘Roll and it‘s British exports.

  • Los Beatles De Liverpool a Hamburgo
    CATHARUM Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades del Instituto de Estudios Hispánicos de Canarias · nº14, 2015 Los Beatles De Liverpool a Hamburgo Adrian McGrath Esta presentación es la historia del nacimiento de los Beatles dentro del contexto de un viaje de Liverpool a Hamburgo: desde sus comienzos humildes en el Liverpool de la segunda guerra mundial hasta su visita a Hamburgo en agosto de 1960, la primera de las cinco que hicieron a la ciudad alemana. Cuatro meses después de su última visita a Hamburgo en diciembre de 1962, tres miembros del grupo, Paul McCartney, George Harrison y Ringo Starr, aterrizaron en el aeropuerto de Los Rodeos en Tenerife para pasar, casi desapercibidos, sus últimas vacaciones tranquilas antes de hacerse famosos. Los Beatles en Tenerife. Ringo, George y Paul Quisiera destacar los momentos clave ocurridos durante este viaje además de los per- sonajes que desempeñaron un papel importante durante esta etapa fundamental en las vidas de los Beatles. «Cuatro chicos que sacudieron al mundo». Estas palabras aparecen en una estatua dedi- cada a los Beatles en Mathew Street enfrente del mítico Cavern Club. A la hora de pensar en los Beatles la mayoría de la gente recuerda sólo a estos cuatro chicos: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison y Ringo Starr. A menudo los fans preguntan quién fue el quinto Beatle. Se barajan los nombres de George Martin, Brian Epstein, Klaus Voormann, Billy Preston…, pero durante esta etapa de la vida del grupo ya había habido no sólo un quinto, Stuart Sutcliffe (bajista original), sino también un sexto Beatle: Pete Best 13 CATHARUM Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades del Instituto de Estudios Hispánicos de Canarias · nº14, 2015 Los Beatles, con Pete Best.

Chiodo 36, La Spezia Fondazione Carispezia inaugurerà sabato 14 aprile (ore 18.00) presso i propri spazi espositivi la mostra “Astrid Kirchherr with the Beatles”, una retrospettiva che ripercorre la storia degli anni formativi dei Beatles nell’Amburgo del dopoguerra – i cosiddetti “Hamburg Days” – attraverso gli scatti della fotografa tedesca che non solo immortalò il gruppo negli anni iniziali della carriera, ma ne influenzò profondamente lo stile trasformandolo in quello che tutti oggi conosciamo. Fondazione Carispezia Via Domenico Chiodo 36 - 19121 La Spezia Tel. 0187 77231 – Fax 0187 772330 www.fondazionecarispezia.it L’esposizione, a cura di ONO arte contemporanea in collaborazione con Ginzburg Fine Arts, sarà visitabile fino al 17 giugno e presenterà una ricca serie di scatti, la maggior parte in bianco e nero: dal primo vero e proprio servizio fotografico del gruppo a momenti privati che ripercorrono la stretta relazione tra i Beatles e la fotografa, oltre che la storia di un luogo e un periodo fondamentale per la band che ha cambiato la storia della musica pop. Nell’agosto del 1960 l’impresario tedesco Bruno Koschmider scritturò i Beatles, una giovane band di Liverpool composta da John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Pete Best e Stuart Sutcliffe, per suonare rock’n’roll in alcuni dei club da lui gestiti sulla Reeperbahn, ad Amburgo. Una delle tante sere in cui suonavano al Kaiserkeller, andarono a sentirli la giovane fotografa Astrid Kirchherr – allora assistente del celebre fotografo Reinhart Wolf – e il suo fidanzato di allora Klaus Voormann.

  • Wikipedia Beetles Dung Beetles Are Beetles That Feed on Feces
    Wikipedia beetles Dung beetles are beetles that feed on feces. Some species of dung beetles can bury dung times their own mass in one night. Many dung beetles, known as rollers , roll dung into round balls, which are used as a food source or breeding chambers. Others, known as tunnelers , bury the dung wherever they find it. A third group, the dwellers , neither roll nor burrow: they simply live in manure. They are often attracted by the dung collected by burrowing owls. There are dung beetle species of different colours and sizes, and some functional traits such as body mass or biomass and leg length can have high levels of variability. All the species belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea , most of them to the subfamilies Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae of the family Scarabaeidae scarab beetles. As most species of Scarabaeinae feed exclusively on feces, that subfamily is often dubbed true dung beetles. There are dung-feeding beetles which belong to other families, such as the Geotrupidae the earth-boring dung beetle. The Scarabaeinae alone comprises more than 5, species. The nocturnal African dung beetle Scarabaeus satyrus is one of the few known non-vertebrate animals that navigate and orient themselves using the Milky Way. Dung beetles are not a single taxonomic group; dung feeding is found in a number of families of beetles, so the behaviour cannot be assumed to have evolved only once. Dung beetles live in many habitats , including desert, grasslands and savannas , [9] farmlands , and native and planted forests. They are found on all continents except Antarctica. They eat the dung of herbivores and omnivores , and prefer that produced by the latter.

  • ASTRID Kirchherr the Beatles
    ASTRID Kirchherr with The Beatles Introduzione di Vladislav Ginzburg 2 3 The Beatles al luna park, 1960 INTRODUZIONE Astrid Kirchherr, talentuosa studentessa d’arte e moda nell’Amburgo del dopoguerra, raggiunse l’apice della sua carriera come fotografa all’inizio degli anni ’60. La sua creatività e il suo gusto estetico plasmarono l’immagine dei Beatles agli albori del loro successo. Allieva del grande fotografo Reinhart Wolf, Astrid Kirchherr fece conoscere a tutto il mondo il look della sua Amburgo, roccaforte europea del beat e del rock and roll. Quando incontrò John, George, Paul, Peter e soprattutto Stuart Sutcliffe, i membri della band conosciuta come I Beatles, Astrid non immaginava quali e quanti cambiamenti la sua vita avrebbe subito. L’obiettivo di Astrid seguì questi teenager fino ad accompagnarli all’età adulta, ritraendoli in scatti caratterizzati da maestria tecnica e precisione della composizione, come solo Astrid avrebbe saputo fare. Ma la sua è una storia che insegna quanto velocemente possano cambiare le cose. Alcuni fatti tragici misero alla prova la giovane fotografa: la morte di Stuart Sutcliffe, suo fidanzato, e il peso di essere identificata come “la fotografa dei Beatles” furono le ragioni alla base della sua decisione di abbandonare la carriera fotografica. Ho conosciuto Astrid Kirchherr nella primavera del 2012 durante un viaggio ad Amburgo, circa sei mesi dopo aver iniziato a gestire il suo vasto archivio fotografico. Dopo un primo incontro formale, ci siamo seduti in privato a bere qualcosa nello splendido Kemps English Pub vicino all’Alster, dove ci siamo conosciuti, ed è lì che ho ascoltato per la prima volta le incredibili storie dietro le sue fotografie.

  • 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.
