In the year 1957 Toyota began exporting vehicles to the U.S, Gordon Gould invented the laser. The Boeing 707 airliner flew for the first time and the Wham-O Company produces the first Frisbee. It was also the year 4 young men meet for the very first time at the Woollten Fete.

If you were to write it the story would be fiction: four teenagers with no more than eight O’Levels between them, running and biking and busing and busking all over Liverpool in search of new chords and old guitars and half-decent drum kit and any gig at all.

As George put it, “we just had this amazing inner feeling of: ‘We’re going to do it’. I don’t know why... we were just cocky” – six years later, they were the four most famous and musical men on earth, the best dressed and on a good day the most captivating people anyone can remember.

It all began here in 1957 with a group of boys who became icons and legends. George Harrison is 14, John Lennon is 16, and Paul McCartney is 15.
