This lively account, part factual, part fiction will take you back to the birth of pop culture and forward to all that followed.

Andrew Corden Lowe grew up in the small rural town of Tenbury Wells in Worcestershire. It was known locally as 'The Town in the Orchard' and was a long way from rock 'n roll. His life was changed by the appearance of The Beatles in the town - even though he never saw them.

He retired and moved to Germany in 2019 to concentrate on writing and to make sense of this signal event 15th of April 1963.
