ALL ABOUT
THE BEATLES ...
And for Beatles
enthusiasts, there's a host of
attractions -The Beatle Story
Museum, The Cavern Club, The
Casbah & Jacaranda Club, The
Magical Mystery Tour,
International Beatle Week, Penny
Lane, Strawberry Field and their
childhood homes. But the city is
not just home to the Beatles (The
Lightning Seeds, Space, Echo
& The Bunnymen, The Zutons,
The Coral anyone?), so it's worth
visiting some of the many
terrific live music venues such
as the Picket, the Mask, Barfly,
The Carling Academy, Zanzibar,
the Cavern or even the student
union.
