Book People to Host Lennon & McCartney Event
Friday, July 6th, 2007 will mark the 50th Anniversary of the day that Paul McCartney was introduced to John Lennon and the seeds of the greatest songwriting team in popular music were sown. It could also be argued that this was also the day that the first steps were taken on the road to the formation of The Beatles.
To celebrate the anniversary, Book People, “The Largest Bookstore in Texas,” will be hosting a special Lennon & McCartney event.
Beatles writer Alan J. Porter (yes that’s me) will be reading an extract from his critically acclaimed book “Before They Were Beatles” and talking about the events of that day in June 1957.
To kick off the event top Beatles tribute group Day Tripper will be providing a selection of classic Lennon and McCartney tunes.
The festivities start at 7:00pm on Friday 6th July at Book People, 6th & Lamar, Austin, TX.
