The leather-clad “Savage Young Beatles” continue to take Liverpool by storm.
.*********
This is the story of how one of the thousands of amateur British schoolboy skiffle bands in the mid-1950s evolved into the beginnings of the greatest band in popular history. It’s a story of hope, creativity, and exploring musical boundaries. It’s also a story of tragedy, coincidence, and at times just sheer luck.
It is a story of beginnings, the story of John, Paul, George, and Ringo - Before They Were Beatles.
