About ‘Before Abbey Road there was Teme Street’

  • A band on the precipice of unprecedented global success

  • who had released their first LP the previous month

  • who had released their third hit single, From Me To You on the previous Thursday

  • who had met the Rolling Stones for the first time the previous evening and partied at their Chelsea flat

  • who would be playing the Albert Hall in London the following Thursday…

This band, at this time, travelled to the small market town of Tenbury Wells, deep in the Worcestershire countryside.

How did this extraordinary event come about?

How did it impact the town and how did it shape the future life of the author?

This lively account, part factual, part fiction will take you back to the birth of pop culture and forward to all that followed.

Author Andrew Lowe was born and raised in Tenbury Wells where he attended Tenbury County Secondary Modern School before going on to study at Liverpool and Kent universities.

Despite being unable to attend the dance it has loomed large in his life ever since.


About Regal School of Creative Arts performance:

Students from the Regal School of Creative Arts will perform songs from their most recent production ‘The Return of the Blue Meanies’, a new musical based on life after the Yellow Submarine written by Dr Mia Gordon with original music composed by Pete Thorogood.


About Regal Community Theatre performance:

Regal Community Theatre will be performing 'C'mon C'mon' - a comedy play - a Beatles tribute, written and directed by their very own Jeremy Boaz.

C’mon C’mon
It is the 15th April 1963, the day the Beatles came to Tenbury Wells. Based on true facts, this fictional play takes a light-hearted look to how a typical family might have reacted to the occasion. The Beatles had just had their first number one ‘Please, Please Me’ but were still relatively unknown.

Using many references to the lyrics from the song, can teenagers Jenny and Danny persuade their parents to let them go and see THE BEATLES?
