BeatlesandBeyond at school - BeatlesandBeyond presenter Pete Dicks tells year 5 pupils about John Lennon, The Beatles and the 1960's....
The first recorded piece played was from 'Anthology':
*'We were just a group, that made it very, very big' - John Lennon
The pupils were treated to 'In spite of all the danger' - The Quarreymen; 'Ain't She Sweet' - The Beatles, and sang along to 'Give Peace a Chance' and 'Imagine'. They also met 'Sgt Pepper' and saw many items of Beatles memorabilia

There are 2 performing acts which have shaped popular music for generations to come
First there was Elvis Presley - and in his footsteps followed four young men from Liverpool
From their early days as skiffle players, to becoming the Worlds most famous - and popular - group, The Beatles have touched the lives of millions World Wide
Their songs, writings and philosophies are still as popular - if not more so nowadays- than they were some 40 years after the group disbanded
There are many 'firsts' in the career of The Beatles
1st group to write their own material
1st UK group to 'break' America
1st LP to have song lyrics included on a sleeve ('Sgt Peppers')
1st major Charity Concert (George's Concerts for Bangla Desh)
To recognise not only the songs of The Beatles, but also to examine the background of the four member's other works is a daunting task. But BeatlesandBeyond Radio will endevour to delve deep into the members history and present an entertaining, informative and educational Programme
Interviews with many friends, family and artistes who knew - or recorded / performed with The Beatles are regular items, as are many rare records which seldom - if ever - get regular airplay
Please take the time to listen to the show on various Stations, view this website, and return often, as it's always being updated
