The Fab Four rose from near-obscurity in 1962 to the heights of global Beatlemania just three years later.

In this talk, music author Martin Orkin will regale us with the ins and outs of how they did it. And you’re sure to enjoy singing along as we take a ‘ticket to ride’ through snippets of some of their greatest early hits. Already looking forward to Part 2!

We are also delighted to have a short Mini-Talk before our main speaker this month. Helen Shore will share her passion for swifts. A member of the RSPB and Essex Wildlife Trust, she not only knows all about these delightful birds but will tell us about her fascinating role as a 'swift taxi driver’.
