The Beatles, Sergeant Pepper and Liverpool

 

To a certain generation, the Beatles are much more than a four piece beat combo, who could sing a bit. They and Sergeant Pepper in particular opened up a whole new vein of thought, that has made the world a better place.

I met my wife when we were both at Liverpool University in the mid 60’s and that time, that band and that city have left an indelible mark on our lives.

We got married with nothing and forty years on we’ve been successful in several fields. We owe a lot to all of the things that happened all those years ago, but especially to the Beatles and the spirit of the city where they grew up.

It’s such a terrible pity that John and George are not here for the anniversary.
