Lecture 1: A Resounding Success!

Last night we had Movement 1 of 'The Beatles in 12 Movements' as Professor Mike Grenfell of TCD School of Education delivered a terrifically enjoyable lecture to an absolutely packed house.

Before Professor Grenfell's lecture the audience were treated to a wonderful performance of 'Eleanor Rigby' by Trinity College's own student male multi-harmony vocal group, Trinitones--the first of several appearances promised by the lads over the next 12 weeks.

After Professor Grenfell's lecture we heard some brilliant contributions from the floor, including one from a man who was actually at The Beatles' Dublin Adelphi show in November 7th 1963!

We are SO sorry to everyone who had to be turned away at the door last night... We simply did not anticipate such a turnout on the first night. The response exceeded all our expectations.

We are now working very hard to address this issue for future lectures and to avoid anyone else being disappointed in this way. It means the world to us that people take the time to come in to Trinity for these talks--the very last thing we want is for anyone to make that trek for nothing.

So... starting with next Monday's lecture--


--we will be implementing an advance booking system.
