The Beatles early performances included popular songs from the 40s and 50s. They played rock-n-roll and R&B-based pop songs while gradually working on developing a style of their own. The group’s mixture of rock-n-roll, skiffle, blues, country, soul, and a simplified version of 1930s jazz resulted in several multi-genre and cross-style sounding songs.

The Long and Winding Road to Success
The Beatles in The cavernMid 1950’s England was a dark place after WW2. A few teenagers began busking on the streets of Liverpool. Skiffle was the style of music that thrived and influenced people. In March 1957, The Blackjacks was formed which was changed to The Quarry Men a week later. Colin Hanton played drums, Eric Griffiths on guitar, Pete Shotton on washboard, Rod Davis on banjo, Bill Smith on tea-chest bass and another man sang and played guitar. Bill was soon replaced by Ivan Vaughan. The group changed musicians, singers and their name until they were properly formed in 1960. They disbanded in 1970 and during that ten years and beyond, they were the largest influence on music and pop culture. In 1965, the four members of the band were appointed MBEs by Queen Elizabeth II. They are the best selling band in history having sold 1.1 billion records and have had more number one albums on the British charts and sold more singles in the UK than any other act even though the BBC banned four of their songs.

The Rat Trap band that Don't Like Mondays.
Bob Geldof & Boomtown RatsWhile I do confess to being a Bob Geldof more than a Boomtown Rats fan, I was still ecstatic when it was announced they were to headline two shows in Vicar Street in Dublin. These were to be their first concerts in Dublin in 27 years so it was history in the making for these concerts. They did have one in Cork earlier this year, but conflicting schedules at the time meant that I was unable to attend, so I was very relieved when Dublin was added to the list.
