Beatles scholar and sixties rock historian Vincent Bruno will explore the unique relationship the Beatles had with the BBC early in their career.

This presentation will examine the unique relationship the Beatles had with BBC Radio from 1962 to 1965. Early in their career the Beatles performed approximately 300 songs "live" on the BBC while touring extensively, recording 5 albums and singles and making two films.  From the BBC archive, we focus on 35 cover songs that were originally recorded by 20 various artists and not released at the time. We will explore those early heroes responsible for the original versions of the songs including Elvis, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, Arthur Alexander, Buddy Holly and even Ann Margaret.  These Beatles covers help set the foundation that influenced the early sound of the group as well as many of the other British invasion bands that followed in their footsteps. 

Vincent Bruno is a beatles scholar and sixties rock historian. He is recently retired as the Director of First Year Programs at LaGuardia Community College (City University of New York) and has taught courses in numerous disciplines. As a Beatles scholar and storyteller, he looks to both embrace not just their legacy but to present an entertaining, interactive, and informative session for both the casual listener as well as the hard core Beatles fan.

If so, please contact the library and provide at least two weeks notice prior to the event date and the library will make every effort to honor all requests. Thereafter, requests will still be considered and may have less of a chance of being honored.
