Beatles MA Now Available
Liverpool Hope University has launched a new MA called The Beatles, Popular Music and Society. The one year master's course will cover the history of Liverpool and how social and musical issues led to the formation of the Merseybeat and Beatles sounds. Mike Brocken, senior lecturer in popular music says:
“There have been over 8000 books about The Beatles but there has never been serious academic study. The Beatles influenced so much of society, not just with their music, but also with fashion from their collar-less jackets to their psychedelic clothes”.
