The Beatles in 12 Movements

The 50th anniversary of the Beatles' only Irish concert will be celebrated in Trinity College Dublin with a series of lectures hosted by the School of English in conjunction with the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts & Humanities Research Institute.

On November 7th 1963, The Beatles played two shows at the Adelphi Cinema in Dublin, their one and only live appearance in the Republic of Ireland. Each Monday evening of Michaelmas Term will see a different guest speaker share their thoughts on a different Beatles studio album. All twelve albums will be covered over the course of the twelve weeks, from Please Please Me right the way through to Let It Be.

Speakers will range from TCD academics from a range of disciplines to notable cultural figures such as iconic singer and Beatles friend Donovan, RTE presenter Ryan Tubridy, Ross O'Carroll-Kelly author Paul Howard, and Assistant Director of The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour film Gerry Harrison.
