Come Together at Central
Library
LIVERPOOL'S Central Library will be
embracing all things Fab Four at a special free event on Saturday, 29 August
2015.
To mark International Beatleweek, Central Library is hosting Come Together in
the Library, which will see a series of musical performances and talks take
place celebrating the legacy of the City's legendary sons.
A tribute band hailing from Scotland; Them Beatles; will recreate the Beatles'
famous rooftop gig of 1969 with three performances taking place on the library's
rooftop terrace. Taking place at midday, 1pm and 2pm, some of the band's hits
will be played live with the stunning City Centre backdrop behind them.
John Lennon's sister Julia Baird will talk about her life with John and will
read from her brother's written work including his books and his song lyrics.
Julia will also read extracts from her own, moving book:- 'Imagine This'. Copies
of the book will be available to buy and she will also take part in a
book signing session.
There will be 2 chances to experience this unmissable talk at 1pm and then
3pm, both in the Hornby Library. Julia Baird said:- "I feel very privileged to be part of this event and
it's an open invitation for everyone to come and celebrate the legacy of the
Beatles. I'm excited to be part of the library family for the day, and
share with people my experience of growing up with John and what it's like to be
the sister of one of the most iconic figures in modern history."
At 2pm, Dee Elias an American Beatles fan and author will be talking about her
new book about the Beatles, investigating their impact on her as a teenager
growing up in the United States. Her book will also be on sale and there will be
a book signing opportunity.
Beatles related archives will also be on display within the Hornby Library for
people to enjoy as part of the event. These will include school registers,
correspondence from Brian Epstein regarding the Hard Day's Night premiere and a
home coming in 1964, and Paul McCartnery's award winning poem from his school
days which was actually presented to him in Central Library in the 1950's.
Assistant Mayor and Cabinet Member for Culture, Tourism and Events, Councillor
Wendy Simon, said:- "We're delighted to be part of this year's Beatleweek
event.
This is the 1st year Central Library has been involved and we have fascinating
mix of events taking place which are guaranteed to thrill any Fab Four fan. From
the live music and talks right through to our Beatles related archive material
on display, there is lots to see and do to keep music fans enthralled. We hope
as many people as possible make the most of this free event in the impressive
surroundings of Liverpool's Central Library."

A fantastic time was enjoyed by all I we would recommend this activity for all
