12 Albums. 12 Talks. 12 Weeks.
Hosted by the Trinity College Dublin 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.
To mark the 50th anniversary of this special event, each Monday evening of TCD's 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 variety 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.
Audiences will also be treated to gorgeous multi-harmony a cappella versions of Beatles classics from TCD student singing group Trinitones.
All lectures take place in the Long Room Hub.
Admission will be free, and a splendid time guaranteed for all--or at least all who manage to secure a coveted place in the audience! Places are limited and we anticipate a lot of interest in these talks, both from the College community and the general public. So stay tuned here for further details...
