WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THEIR FRIENDS: THE BEATLES AND THEIR ARTISTS

Take a journey through the 60s in music and images, following the
Beatles from the Hamburg Reeperbahn in 1960 to Abbey Road in 1969.
The band was always fascinated by artists and designers who could
help promote their image and music. Their rise to fame was aided by
an impressive roster of photographers, including Astrid Kirchherr, Bob
Freeman, Robert Whitaker, Angus McBean and Linda McCartney.
The innovative covers for albums such as Rubber Soul (Bob Freeman),
Revolver (Klaus Voormann), the White Album (Richard Hamilton) and
Sgt. Pepper (Peter Blake & Jann Haworth) made album design into an art form in its own right.

Followed by The Annual General Meeting.
Tea will be served after the AGM.
