JOHN LENNON/PLASTIC ONO BAND with special guest Philip Norman.

John Lennon’s stunning debut album is quite rightly regarded as his best. Bleak, exhilarating and soulful, ‘John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band’ is a true classic album.

Legendary author & journalist, Philip Norman wrote 'Shout! The True Story Of The Beatles,' the multi million seller biography that was published in 1981. 'John Lennon: The Life' was published in 2008.

In a classic conversation with Jason Barnard, PHILIP NORMAN reels off stories about the Fabs, Yoko, Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor, Margo Fontaine and David Bailey just to name a few. It’s a funny, sad, poignant and riveting interview that had the sold-audience captivated throughout.

If you would like to learn more about Philip’s extraordinary life we highly recommend his memoir, ‘We Danced On Our Desks.’
