Participant I: “The Beatles”... Who does not know the names of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison? Today this group is as popular as it was many years ago. Grown up people, teenagers, small children like their music and their songs. They like to listen to them and to sing them. The songs of “The Beatles” have got beautiful melodies and the words of the songs are very easy to understand. The group is well known all over the world. Their songs are about love, friendship, nature and about people. They are about beautiful girls and happy boys. Some of their songs are full of humour. Today we are going to listen to them. But let us start from the very beginning...

Participant 2: Everything began in Liverpool, one of the British cities, where the group was formed in 1960s, because all the members of the group were born there.  (On the screen there are the sights of Liverpool.)

There are many big cities and small towns in Great Britain. Liverpool is one of them. It is a big industrial city. A lot of different goods are produced there, but the main industry is coal mining. Liverpool is also a big port and an important commercial center. Many ships from various parts of the world come there every day.  In the city one can see many places of interest: museums, monuments, galleries, parks and squares. The town exports a lot of products and imports a great deal of goods.

             Participants 3: So the group was formed in Liverpool by John Lennon.

(On the screen- video of song with John Lennon http://yandex.ru/video/search?text=John%20Lennon%20-%20Come%20Together&where=all&filmId=lqg_5z9Yk3E).

In 1956 John Lennon, a fifteen year old boy, decided to organize a musical band. They played rock-n-roll and sang country-and-western songs. But we think you’d like to know more about the founder of the group. Let’s take the weekly magazine “New Musical Express” and find the interview with him.

Participants 4:  http://www.johnlennon.com/biography        

John Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England. He met Paul McCartney in 1957 and invited McCartney to join his music group. They eventually formed the most successful songwriting partnership in musical history. Lennon left the Beatles in 1969 and later released albums with his wife, Yoko Ono, among others. On December 8, 1980, he was killed by a crazed fan named Mark David Chapman.

Early Life

Famed singer-songwriter John Winston Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, during a German air raid in World War II.When he was 4 years old, Lennon's parents separated and he ended up living with his Aunt Mimi. Lennon's father was a merchant seaman. He was not present at his son's birth and did not see a lot of his son when he was small.

             Participants 5: 

Lennon's mother, Julia, remarried, but visited him and Mimi regularly. She taught Lennon how to play the banjo and the piano and purchased his first guitar. Lennon was devastated when Julia was fatally struck by a car driven by an off-duty police officer in July 1958. Her death was one of the most traumatic events in his life.

As a child, Lennon was a prankster and he enjoyed getting in trouble. As a boy and young adult,he  enjoyed drawing grotesque figures and cripples. Lennon's school master thought that he could go to an art school for college, since he did not get good grades in school, but had artistic talent.

Participant 1: The life of John Lennon wasn’t long. On the 8th of December, 1980, he was shot by Mark Chapman near his house. Lennon died on the way to the hospital. Let’s listen to one of his songs.

(The song “Yesterday”. On the screen - different photos of John Lennon and everybody sings the songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONXp-vpE9eU).

Participant 2: All songs of this famous group were composed by Lennon and Paul McCartney. They met on the 6th of July, 1957 in one of the parks of Liverpool. Paul liked Lennon’s songs, but he played the guitar better than John and he knew a lot of American pop songs. But first let’s listen to the interview with Paul to know more about him.

Participants 6: Paul McCartney was born June 18, 1942, in Liverpool, England. His work with the Beatles in the 1960s helped lift popular music from its origins in the entertainment business and transform it into a creative, highly commercial art form. He is also one of the most popular solo performers of all time in terms of both sales of his recordings and attendance at his concerts.

Early Life

Sir James Paul McCartney was born on June 18, 1942, in Liverpool, England, to Mary and James McCartney. His mother was a maternity nurse, and his father a cotton salesman and jazz pianist with a local band. The young McCartney was raised in a traditional working-class family, much the same as his future fellow Beatles Ringo Starr andGeorge Harrison. Tragically, when McCartney was only 14 years old, his mother died of complications after a mastectomy.

Participants 7:

His future bandmate, John Lennon, also lost his mother at a young age—a connection that McCartney would later point to as the start of a close bond between the two musicians.Encouraged by his father to try out multiple musical instruments, Paul McCartney began his lifelong love affair with music at an early age. Though he took formal music lessons as a boy, the future star preferred to learn by ear, teaching himself the Spanish guitar, trumpet and piano. In 1957, the teenaged musician met John Lennon at a church festival where both young men were performing. Sensing an early affinity, McCartney joined Lennon's band, the Quarrymen. The two quickly became the group's songwriters, ushering it through many name changes and a few personnel changes as well.

Participant 3: Now let’s listen to a song. It’s rock-n-roll. I’m sure all people understand this wonderful music.

(The song “Rock’n’Roll M” on the screen. Some girls dance rock’n’ roll and the others sing the songhttp://yandex.ru/video/search?text=%E2%84%96%206%20%20The%20Beatles%20-%20Rock%20and%20Roll%20Music&where=all&filmId=fRnOsI4Y8gE).

At first the group travelled around Great Britain. They became more and more popular and soon they were invited to London, the capital of the United Kingdom, to record their songs in the studio in Abby Road. October, 1963 is considered to be the birthday of “Beatlomania”. At that time they gave a concert at London concert hall “Palladium”. It was a great success. In November there was a concert at the Royal Theatre. Queen Elizabeth II was present at the concert and she enjoyed it greatly. After the show the members of the group were introduced to Her Majesty.

(On the screen there are the sights of London

Participant 8: London, the capital of Great Britain, lies on the banks of the River Thames. It’s one of the biggest cities in Europe. It is a big port, a university city and a big commercial center. The main parts of it are: the City, the West End, the East End and Westminster. The City is a business part of London. The West End is the richest and the most beautiful part. One can find the finest theaters, parks, squares, museums and cinemas here. Among the most popular museums are the British Museum, the Tate Gallery, the National Museum and some others.

The East End is the part of London where working people live.

Westminster Abbey is one of the most beautiful buildings of the city. On its territory one can see many monuments to outstanding people.

There are a lot of wonderful parks in London, the so-called “lungs” of the city. They are Regent’s park, St. James’s park, Hyde Park and many others. In Regent’s Park there is London Zoo, one of the best zoos in the world. As you see London is a very beautiful city with an eventful history.

Participant 2: But let’s go on speaking about the members of the group and get acquainted with George Harrison.(On the screen - the video of song  of George Harrison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p5yzdCa2GE).

Participants 9: Early Life

Pop star, songwriter, producer and recording artist George Harrison was born on February 25, 1943, in Liverpool, England. The youngest of Harold and Louise French Harrison's four children, George Harrison played lead guitar and sometimes sang lead vocals for the Beatles.

Like his future band mates, Harrison was not born into wealth. Louise was largely a stay-at-home mom while her husband Harold drove a school bus for the Liverpool Institute, an acclaimed grammar school where George Harrison attended and first metPaul McCartney. By his own admission, Harrison was not much of a student and what little interest he did have for his studies washed away with his discovery of the electric guitar and American rock 'n roll.

Participant 3: And here comes the song. It is devoted to the girl, Michelle by name. It’s a French name and some words of the song are in French too. It’s a song about love.

Participants 10  Early Life

Musician, singer, songwriter and actor Ringo Starr was born Richard Starkey on July 7, 1940, in Liverpool, England. Known for his easy-going personality, Starr first rose to fame in the early 1960s as the drummer for the legendary rock group the Beatles. He grew up poor in Liverpool, and his father left the family when Starr was only three. A sickly child, he missed a lot of school on account of his illnesses. Starr eventually dropped out as a teenager.

 Participant 11

Starr started his musical career playing percussion in a skiffle band, or a band that used common objects instead of regular instruments. His stepfather supported his interest in music and reportedly bought him a drum kit. Learning the drums, Starr went on to join a popular local band Rory Storm and the Hurricanes in the late 1950s. He took his nickname—Ringo—was given to him because of the rings he wore—as part of his stage name around this time. And his drum solos for the group were called "Starr-time.

             Participant 1: One more song for you. It’s “Can’t buy me love”. This song was a real anthem of young people of the 70s.
