The Beatles Tour
Liverpool in 1960 had over 200 guitar groups performing in and around the city. Most were pure imitators of their American heroes, but the world now knows that one group of four ordinary lads from Liverpool would change the face of popular music forever. The music and the lyrics of The Beatles are now engraved in our history and - incredibly – is likely to become the classical music of future centuries.
