Burnham Book Festival set to host visit by Quarrymen which evolved into The Beatles

-

As Burnham Book Festival gears up for its third annual event this Spring, fans of the Beatles are in for a treat on Saturday 18th May with a line-up that promises to transport them back to Beatlemania.

The highlight of the day will be an appearance by the Quarrymen, the band that eventually evolved into The Beatles. This special event at 8pm will be part of an  evening of nostalgia and music.

The festivities will kick off earlier in the day with a series of events for Beatles fans and music aficionados alike.

At 2pm, Leslie Cavendish shares his firsthand experiences as the Beatles’ hairdresser and Apple stylist, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of the world’s most famous band. 

Following this, prolific Beatles author David Bedford presents “The Birth of the Beatles: Skiffle and Beyond” at 4pm. Delving into the early days of the Beatles’ journey, he uncovers the influences and inspirations that shaped the band’s meteoric rise to fame.

At 6:30pm, join original members of the Quarrymen for an ‘intimate conversation’ about how they came to play with John, Paul and George and what it was like to be part of Liverpool’s incredible music scene.

Finally, at 8pm, the Quarrymen take to the stage, transporting audiences back to the roots of rock ‘n’ roll. 

Fans eager to make the most of this lineup can save money booking both Quarrymen events together.
