Although it’s been half a century since Beatlemania was born, generation after generation of fans continue to keep the Beatles on the top of nearly every musical poll. But how, in just a few years’ time, did four musically untrained teenagers evolve into the most popular rock n’ roll group of all time? National Geographic author and cultural historian Gary McKechnie will connect the dots to reveal the magic and mystery behind the Beatles’ fame and lasting influence. From all-night shows in Hamburg bars to lunchtime sessions in a converted Liverpool warehouse to landmark performances on England’s Royal Variety Performance and America’s Ed Sullivan Show, once the Beatles hit their stride, they influenced the direction of music, fashion, film, youth… and the world.
