Hamburg


In 1960 The Beatles leave Liverpool to play in Hamburg, Germany. They live in terrible accomodation in an area of gangsters and prostitutes. They play six hours a night, seven days a week


Changes


There are changes in the band.
Stuart leaves the group to concentrate on his art. And Pete Best is increasingly out-of-step with the other members. He does not take drugs.

The German authorities discover George Harrison is only 17. They deport him and the group returns to Liverpool. They are now a much better band.

Stuart stays in Hamburg to paint. He dies a year later.
