Description
This book charts the progression of The Beatles' early appearances from their humble origins as The Quarry Men, playing mainly at small venues in South Liverpool for little or no recompense, to the larger theatres and ballrooms in Merseyside and outlying towns. Alongside photographs of the venues, flyers and the band themselves, this is a fascinating and detailed journey through the earliest of gigs played by what was to become Liverpool's most famous export. A far cry from their now legendary Ed Sullivan appearance, the smokey bars and clubs described within this book represent the fertile ground on which one of the greatest musical phenomenon's the world has ever seen was formed. A must for Beatles fans the world over.
