Join us for a fascinating talk with author Deirdre Kelly, as she takes us on a fun ride through the sartorial influence of the Beatles. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We talk to director David Tedeschi about his new Beatles film. Produced by Martin Scorsese, it captures the mania of Beatlemania when the Fab Four land in New York for the first time in 1964, including their historic appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. David tells us how it all came together, and what surprising things he learned about this first Fab Four trip. The film contains 17 minutes of brand new footage (restored by Peter Jackson's company), the soundtrack has been remixed by Giles Martin, and contains new interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
