Spotlight on…Venues

Any regular IBW festival-goer will tell you how many venues we have taken Beatleweek to over the years.  International Beatleweek festival has in previous years, put on events and shows in theatres, church halls and church grounds, universities, ferries to name but a few.  We delve a little deeper into three venues featuring at 2024s festival.

Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA)

Mount Street entrance to LIPA

We are excited to see the return of LIPA as a venue for IBW24.

Once The Liverpool Institute for Boys school where both Paul McCartney and George Harrison were educated, this Grade II listed building holds huge Beatles connections which will be a treat for any Beatle fan to experience. And this year our stages extend to the old Liverpool College of Art building (now a part of LIPA) where John Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe studied in the 1950s.

 

With a wealth of original features from back in the day, LIPA plays home to ‘It’s Getting Better’ event on Friday 23rd August which will feature multiple stages of live music held in and around the two venues and includes the Paul McCartney Auditorium (pictured below).

This is a nice rare picture  from 'Long, Long, Long' ago. At least rare to us at BI, we had never seen this one before.

Today is an historic day because 55 years ago, on 6 July 1957, John and Paul were first introduced by mutual friend Ivan Vaughan at St. Peter's Church Hall in Liverpool. Read an account of that meeting here: http://www.beatlesbible.com/1957/07/06/john-lennon-meets-paul-mccartney/
