McCartney Times

Julia Baird remembers her first Beatles concert quite well — because it was in her kitchen.As John Lennon’s half-sister, she was privy to these sorts of things, often running in between sets to grab water or a cookie. But it was only a couple years later that she realized just how influential her big brother had become.When Lennon and Paul McCartney united in that kitchen in Liverpool, England, in 1957, a phenomenon soon spread the world over, and it has sparked countless tribute groups since. Baird, however, says only a few truly stand the test, especially The Mersey Beatles.And after leaving their post as the decade-long house band at Liverpool’s Cavern Club where the original Beatles got their break, these boys have broken out on their debut U.S. tour.
