Music is the greatest thing which connects people all over the world. It hasn’t nationality or citizenship. It’s a common human property.
The Beatles
Who are they?
Some may say that they are four young long-haired hooligans singing primitive rock’n’roll tunes
The others may put them in the same rank with the greatest composers, such as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach
Still the others may call them outstanding pacifists, philosophers and optimists
They are four boys from Liverpool, who decided to play and sing together.
15 years of joint life and work, several concerts at the greatest TV-studios, concert-halls and stadiums of the World, some more than 200 songs and…

They are THE BEATLES.
Have you never heard of them?
…It's a long way from Liverpool to legend…
