Samira Ahmed and Stuart Maconie

Journalists and broadcasters Samira Ahmed and Stuart Maconie are both lifelong fans of The Beatles, and here they come together to share their love of the band and reflect on its enduring influence on popular culture. Ahmed’s first book A Hard Day’s Night is a look at how the 1964 film captures the band’s charisma and the shifting cultural landscape of 1960s Britain. Maconie’s With a Little Help from Their Friends is the epic tale of the people who made the band who made Britain, interspersed with his own experiences, encounters and conversations. This celebratory event is perfect for superfans of the band.
