Answer: The Beatles.
Pupil 1: Right you are. Today we have a trip in our yellow submarine. Now let’s sing the anthem of our Music Hall (“Yellow submarine”).
Все участники и гости поют песню, слова раздаются.
Yellow submarine
In the town where I was born lived a man who sailed the sea,
And he told us of his life in the land of submarines.
So we sailed up to the sun till we found the sea of green.
And we lived beneath the waves in our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,…
And our friends are all on board,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play.
We all live in a yellow submarine,…
And we live a life of ease,
Every one of us has all we need.
Sky of blue and sea of green in our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,…

Pupil 1: Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England, along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. It was founded as a borough in 1207 and was granted city status in 1880. Liverpool has a population of 435,500, and lies at the centre of the wider Liverpool Urban Area, which has a population of 816,216.
Pupil 2: The popularity of The Beatles and the other groups from the Merseybeat era contributes to Liverpool’s status as a tourist destination; tourism forms a significant part of the city’s modern economy. In 2007 the city celebrated its 800th anniversary, and in 2008 it holds the European Capital of Culture title together with Stavanger, Norway.
Pupil 3: In the 1960s Liverpool became a centre of youth culture. The «Mersey beat» sound which became synonymous with The Beatles and fellow Liverpudlian rock bands of the era catapulted the city to the front of the popular music scene.
20 Forthlin Road is one of many Tourist attractions related to The Beatles.
Pupil 4: Opened in the 1930s, Liverpool Airport, is situated near Speke in the south of the city. It was renamed Liverpool John Lennon Airport in 2001, in honour of the late Beatle John Lennon . The airport’s logo consists of a sketch that John Lennon had drawn of himself, and the words «Above us only sky», lyrics from his song Imagine . The sensitivity surrounding the airport’s name change meant that the logo had to be designed in secret before it could be unveiled by John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono . The airport was the starting point for Beatles tours in the sixties, and images of the boys boarding planes there were seen throughout the world. In 2006 the airport handled nearly 5 million passengers and now serves 64 destinations, including many key European cities. New routes to New York and Toronto in summer 2007 were withdrawn towards the end of the year, as was the route to London City Airport , due to low passenger numbers.
Pupil 1: Liverpool is internationally known as a cultural centre, with a particularly rich history in popular music (most notably The Beatles ), performing and visual arts.
Pupil 2: Many famous names have been associated with Liverpool; see Liverpudlians . Liverpool has also played a large part in UK (and sometimes world) Pop Music culture since the 1960s. For a list of some noteworthy groups from the area, consult the list of famous bands from Liverpool . The most popular group from Liverpool is “The Beatles”.
The Wall of Fame is located opposite the famous Cavern Club , near the original one where bricks are engraved with the name of bands and musicians who have played at the Cavern Club .
Pupil 3:
The Beatles Story Museum was founded by Ringo Starr in April 1984. In the Museum Halls you see the Beatles’ films, books and magazines. You can also buy different souvenirs, stamps, plates and cups with the Beatles’ portraits, or records and cassettes with their songs. You can listen to their songs here as well. I suggest you singing one of the most popular their songs “Girl”.
Girl Девушка
| Вот послушайте, кто-нибудь мою историю
Когда я вспоминаю о нелёгких попытках её бросить, Она из тех девушек, которые способны тебя унизить Может, в детстве её научили, что боль доставляет удовольствие? Ах, девушка, девушка, девушка.

Pupil 4:
There were four people in this group. John Lennon is considered to be the organizer and the leader of the ensemble. He was born on the 9th of October 1940 in Liverpool. John’s father, Alfred worked as a waiter on merchant ships. John’s mother’s name was Julia Stanley; she was kind and cheerful. John lived with his mother only for 18 months. His father was thought to have died at sea, so Julia re-married. This is why John was brought up by his aunt Mary, Stanley’s elder sister. John called her Mimi.
Mimi was kind and clever, but very strict and sometimes sharp. She loved little John very much. her greatest wish was to give John good education. He entered an elementary school at the age of five.
John enjoyed painting. His favourite book was Alice in Wonderland. Later, he was fond of reading books by Robert Louis Stevenson and Edgar Allan Poe, or books about artists. After finishing the elementary school, John attended the Quarry Bank Grammar School for Boys. However, the teachers didn’t like him because John wouldn’t follow the strict rules. John wasn’t a good student at his school. His mother Julia encouraged her son to pursue musical hobbies, teaching him to play the harmonica. Julia later bought a guitar for her son and John spent a lot of hours playing different melodies.
One day he had the idea to organize a band. The group was formed and called themselves The Quarry Men. The boys began playing at home and school parties, birthday parties and street holidays. John became acquainted with Paul McCartney at one of the holidays in 1956. John Lennon once said that the story of the Beatles had begun on that day when he had met Paul McCartney.

Pupil 5:
James Paul McCartney was born on June 18, 1942. His mother Mary was a nurse in one of the hospitals. She was a very reserved, patient and diplomatic woman. His father James McCartney was 9 years older than his mother. He was an employer. Paul had a younger brother Michael. They were good friends. People called them twins. As a boy, Paul was patient and kind; everybody called him a diplomat.
Paul performed well at the Liverpool Institute, doing best at Latin, Greek and English Spelling. He took an active part in extracurricular activities. At school Paul found out that he was left-handed – he couldn’t write with his right hand.
The McCartney family loved music. His father often played the piano at home. Paul was 13 years old when his mother died. The boys and the father felt a terrible loss. Paul was keen on football, but music didn’t play an important part in his childhood. However, he learned to compose songs on his piano very quickly. Paul asked his father to buy him a guitar. He had to rearrange the strings on his guitar because he played with his left hand. Paul was fond of rock’n’roll and Elvis Presley. His brother Mike remembers, “When Paul took up the guitar, he forgot everything. He didn’t want to waste time even for dinner. He played everywhere even in the bathroom and in the toilet …”
Pupil 6:
Paul McCartney and John Lennon met for the first time at the church square in Vulton. Neither of them knew that they would be best friends.
One of Paul’s first ballads “And I Love Her” is devoted to his girlfriend Jane Asher. It is charming, amazing and very intimate. Let’s sing it all together.
All you need is love Все, что тебе нужно — это любовь
| Любовь, Любовь, Любовь…. Ты не можешь сделать ничего невозможного. нечего сказать, но ты можешь выучить правила игры, просто! Ты не сотворишь того, что нельзя сотворить. спасешь тех, кого нельзя спасти. можешь научиться быть собой, Все, что тебе нужно – это любовь! нужно – это любовь, любовь! нужно. Все, что тебе нужно – это любовь! это любовь! вот все, что тебе нужно. Ты не можешь узнать неизвестное. не можешь увидеть то, что сокрыто. как там, где ты и должен быть, Все, что тебе нужно – это любовь! нужно – это любовь, любовь! нужно. Все, что тебе нужно – это любовь! (А теперь все вместе!) тебе нужно – это любовь, любовь! (Любовь – вот все, что тебе нужно). Панки хой! любит, да, да, да.

Pupil 1:
McCartney joined Lennon’s group The Quarry Men. The two began to compose songs together, and it was those songs that drew the people’s attention to them. Their first professional concerts were in Hamburg, Germany and it was there that they perfected their sound. They had to play night after night and after two years, they had become an exciting band to watch. Lennon was always the rebel and made an impressive figure on stage. When they moved back to Liverpool, they began to play at the Cavern Club, where all the new bands were playing. They found a manager, Brian Epstein, who gave them a new “clean” image. He tried to get them a record company deal, but no one would take them on at first. Finally, the small label Parlophone released “Love Me Do”, a Lennon & McCartney composition. Will you sing it, please.
Пусть будет такВо времена тревог Пусть будет так, пусть будет так, Когда те, чьё сердце было разбито, Пусть будет так, пусть будет так, Пусть будет так, пусть будет так, Даже в облачную ночь Пусть будет так, пусть будет так, Пусть будет так, пусть будет так,

Pupil 7:
George Harrison was born on February 12, 1943, in a big and friendly family. There were four children in the family, of which George was the youngest. His mother, Louisa, was merry and very kind. She worked as a shop-assistant. His father, Gerald Harrison, was a tall thin man. He was a bus driver.
George was a very obedient child. He helped old people and took care of animals. Unfortunately, he was often ill. During his childhood he wasn’t interested in music, but he was fond of various shows. He was a very good student in school. It took him little time to do his homework due to the fact that he had a good memory. Later on he learned to sew and altered his school trousers to fashionable tight ones. He went in for track-and-field athletics, played football, swam well and liked riding bikes. When George studied at the Institute he became interested in skiffle. His idol was Lonny Donegan. Louisa bought a guitar for her son. George taught himself to play the guitar with a book. He couldn’t play well at first, and his fingers got bloody. With the help of his mother he was able to learn to play the guitar. One day on his way to the Institute George met Paul McCartney on the bus. They became friends and had the same interests. Harrison played the guitar better than Paul and was invited to the group, becoming the leading guitarist.

Pupil 8:
Ringo Starr was born on July 7, 1940. His father, Richard Henry Parkin Starki, worked as a baker. His wife, Elsie Gleeve, was a waitress in a bar.
Elsie worked hard, which is why little Richard had to stay alone or at their neighbour’s. Richard was very sociable as a result. He was a very weak boy and often missed classes at school. He couldn’t read even at the age of 8, though Elsie tried her best to help her son.
He was invited to join the group in summer 1962. He was paid 25 pounds a week.
Pupil 1:
Thus, the group was formed. The Beatles changed pop music forever. From their first single “Love Me Do” in 1962, people heard something different from the usual pop of that time. Their songs seemed more musical than others and more exciting than the kind of thing most artists were recording then. The Beatles also looked nicer than anyone else. More and more people began to listen to pop music than before. A hysteria that the newspapers called “Beatlemania” swept through Britain and America. In 1964 the film “A Hard Day’s Night” was made. In this film we can see John, Paul, George and Ringo and listen to their songs.
The song “Yesterday” is the best song in the album “Help!”, which was released in 1965. It is the most popular Beatles song. “Yesterday” is a romantic ballad. What is the origin of this song? Every morning Paul sat at the piano and played his own music. The melody of “Yesterday” appeared one morning while Paul was cooking breakfast. That’s why first he named the song “Scrambled eggs”. But he couldn’t think of words. Nice sad music didn’t agree with simple words. The words came after several days and they were charming. Let’s try to sing it all together.
Yesterday
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly
I’m not half the man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go
I don’t know she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go
I don’t know she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
Учащиеся-ведущие-журналисты берут интервью у членов группы в аэропорту (“вымышленная” группа).
Pupil 2: The four Beatles were often interviewed by a lot of journalists and reporters. They liked to answer numerous questions. They were witty, merry and played jokes. Here’s one of the interviews with the Beatles at the airport.
Reporter (R): Could you tell me how long you will perform together?
John: About 5 years.
R.: Have you got wigs on?
John: If that’s so they are the most natural wigs that have ever been made. They are even with dandruff.
R.: What kind of guitar have you got, Paul?
Paul: This is Hoffman’s bass guitar.
R.: Is it expensive?
Paul: 56 guineas I could have bought a more expensive one but I’m a miser.
R.: Ringo, why have you got so many rings on your fingers?
Ringo: Because I can’t have them all in my nose.
R.: What would you like to say to American youth?
Ringo: I’d like them to buy more “The Beatles” records.
R.: What do you think of Beethoven?
Ringo: I like him very much, especially his poems.
R.: Could you tell me, George, why you haven’t got a tie on?
George: And why haven’t you got a hat on?
R.: Have you ever cut your hair?
George: I did it yesterday.
R.: What would you like to bring home from America?
George: Rockefeller Centre.
R.: What can you say about the song “Yellow Submarine”?
Ringo: “Yellow Submarine” is an interesting song. Reality and fantasy are mixed in it. It is a witty and happy song with sad implication and a dynamic arrangement. We can hear the sounds of the sea, seagulls, the band, sounds of lapping water and the captain’s commands. Every 5 year old boy dreams about the adventures of a seaman.
Our submarine is waiting for us. Let’s sing this song again.
Исполняется песня “Yellow Submarine”
