The Beatles



This group gained much experience while playing in Hamburg, Germany and in November 1961, during a Cavern Club concert in Liverpool, the Beatles was spotted by Brian Epstein. By following year, Brian secured a record contract for the group. Beatlemania was about to begin!

The 1950 was a period of great change and excitement for Britain. Merseyside in particular, experienced an upsurge in youth and music culture. Liverpool at the time was a flourishing port of trade and had close links with America and other international countries. Young sailors came and went, bringing with them a new kind of music "Rock and Roll ".

In 1957 Paul McCartney and John Lennon, who were already involved in the music scene individually, met at a church fete and formed the embryo of The Beatles. George Harrison joined the band shortly after, followed by Pete Best, their original drummer. The group were known as The Quarrymen and began to play gigs around the City. The band had several different names before settling on The Beatles.

Following this, The Beatles made their first film "A Hard Days Night", before embarking on a world tour encompassing Australia, the Far East and again, America. Eventually hysterical fans made live performances impossible. The Beatles performed their last concert in Candlestick Park, San Francisco on 29th August 1966.

hi Monik,

I like your article a lot, and I like the Beatles too, their music is wonderful and their story is certainly interesting.

About your writing, it is good, there are only a few mistakes, for example: you said ...the group were known... and you should say the group WAS known.

Keep doing like this, and thank you for your cooperation.

bye.
