Samira Ahmed & Stuart Maconie

The Beatles - The Band Who Made Britain

Book tickets

Two lifelong Beatles fans come together for a joyful celebration of the band who changed everything featuring our Festival patron Samira Ahmed, in conversation with fellow broadcaster Stuart Maconie. 

From A Hard Day’s Night and the Fab Four’s charisma in a Britain on the cusp of change, to the cast of characters who made the band told through personal encounters and conversations. Expect wit, warmth and insight from two of Britain’s most engaging cultural voices. 

‘I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Beatles. Samira’s analysis of the movie, of the Fab Four themselves and even of peripheral connections….is extraordinarily impressive. I learnt so much from it.’

Sir Tim Rice

‘Maconie is a funny, astute writer, alert to the absurd.’
