Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Liverpool’s rich, almost exuberant, heritage for popular music has a long and proud history but it one that is missing a vital component to the story, one that history, fate and circumstance has seen fit to take away from the city that arguably gave popular culture to the U.K. after the Post-War austerity. The Beatles, the foursome who kick started a revolution, never returned to the city in their absolute pomp and ceremony in which to give the fans who propelled them to the top of the charts a sense of completion, of revelling in the majesty that the progressive nature of the band would have gone down a storm in at any of the venues in the city at the time.

International Hit Show, Let It Be, Launched In Style At The Hard Day’s Night Hotel.

It is the show that was never performed, Liverpool’s biggest ever band placing all their hits and much loved songs before an audience in a theatre that has presided over many of the greats to have visited the city, it is arguably Liverpool’s greatest regret that aside from venues such as The Cavern and Litherland Town Hall, the city never had that huge night when The Beatles reigned supreme.

All that is set to change as the international hit show Let It Be comes to the Royal Court Theatre this October.
