John and Paul: A love story in songs - Ian Leslie

Drawing on recently released footage and recordings, writer Ian Leslie will offer a fresh take on two of the greatest icons in music history - John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The story begins in 1957 when two teenagers in suburban Liverpool meet and decide to play rock n'roll together. It ends 23 years later, when one of them is murdered. In between, we see them become global stars, create countless indelible songs and play a central role in shaping the modern world. Ian, author of John and Paul: A love story in songs, will explain how Lennon and McCartney were more than friends, rivals or collaborators. They were intimates who both had the fabric of their world ruptured at a young age, and who longed to make emotional connections - with each other and with audiences. The pop song was a vessel into which they poured feelings of grief and euphoria and everything in between. When they couldn't speak what they felt, they sang it. After the break-up of their group, they maintained a musical dialogue at a distance, in songs full of recrimination, regret and affection. Join Ian as he traces the twists and turns of their relationship through the music it produced and offers rich insights into the nature of creativity, collaboration and human connection.
