20th August 2023 at 1pm 
The Fab4 Café, Royal Albert Dock

Julia Baird – author, teacher and John Lennon’s little sister – invites you to explore John’s life and words at The Beatles Story on the eve of International Beatleweek. 

The Beatles Story’s Nick Hale will be reading extracts of John’s work, with Julia providing insights into the meaning of John’s words and into his life at the time of writing. The event will be an insightful and moving exploration into the work of one of the 20th Century’s most famous poets, John Lennon.

Stick around after the talk for live music and cocktails – and you’ll also have the opportunity to meet Julia herself, and have your copy of her book ‘Imagine This’ signed.

Her book ‘Imagine This’ is the true story of John Lennon’s childhood and reveals the full extent of the pain and difficulties – as well as the happier times – that living inside of John Lennon’s family brought.

Poignant, raw and beautifully written, the book casts John Lennon’s life in a new light and reveals the source of his emotional fragility and musical genius. It is also one family’s extraordinary and powerful story of how it dealt with fame and tragedy beyond all imagining. Available to purchase at The Royal Albert Dock’s Fab4 Store.
