The Ballad of John and Paul

The Ballad of John and Paul

A songwriting spark lit in 1957 that set the world ablaze.  

From The Cavern Club to global domination, from scribbling lyrics in Aunt Mimi’s front porch to changing the face of music forever at Abbey Road, ‘The Ballad of John and Paul’ tells the unforgettable story of two young men whose songs reshaped the world. 

Join us on a journey through their lives, their lyrics and their legend - the records they wrote together, the rivalry that drove them until it drove them apart and the revolution that they started with their music, leaving behind a legacy like no other.  

With outstanding live musicians, captivating storytelling and a set list including ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, ‘Blackbird’, ‘Eight Days A Week’, ‘Help!’, ‘Let It Be’, ‘Imagine’, ‘Band on the Run’ and many more - don't miss the remarkable story of the greatest songwriting duo of all time - Lennon and McCartney.  

Presented by Buddy Boy Productions Presents.
