Beatles Backstage | The Bedrooms Where Rock History was Made | Podcast

In Liverpool in the 1950s two teenagers began writing music in their bedrooms. They went on to provide the soundtrack to the 1960s and change the face of popular culture forever.

They were Paul McCartney and John Lennon and their four-piece rock and roll band was of course The Beatles.

Join Curator James Grasby to unlock the iconic group’s origin story.

How do humble acts of creativity at home lead to great things? To find out, we’re behind the scenes at the childhood homes of Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon at Forthlin Road and Mendips in Liverpool. Here, Paul and John grew up, fell in love with music and wrote The Beatles’ first hits.

A note for listeners, a version of this episode first aired on the National Trust Podcast in 2019.
