Beep Beep n Beep Beep, Yeah!

Following the success of last year’s inaugural film festival, Loxwood Drive-in Movies is proud to add
Drive My Car: The Beatles film festival to its 2021 programme.

The festival will feature three major feature films about the band:

A Hard Day’s Night
The Beatles’ first film, released in 1964, this became the defining ‘pop music film’ format for the era.
It was nominated for two Academy Awards.

The Cavern: The Beat Goes On
Documentary about The Cavern club, the beating heart of Merseybeat where The Beatles were first
discovered by Brian Epstein. From its evolution as a jazz club in the 1950s to the new Cavern that
stands there today, the Cavern Club still celebrates live music.

Looking for Lennon
Nominated for a National Film Award, this documentary tells the story of John Lennon’s traumatic
childhood and adolescent years through the people who knew John personally.

Plus:
• Two more Beatles films, including the upcoming ‘Here, There & Everywhere’ preview and
award winning short film ‘The Beatles and Us’.
• Live music from top tribute band The Dung Beatles, plus other artists performing acoustic
sets.
• Sculptor Andrew Edwards brings his replica iconic John Lennon statue from the Liverpool
waterfront as well as his new bust of Brian Epstein that he is working on. He will be doing a
presentation and talking to guests.
• Expert talks, with speakers that include Beatles historian David Bedford, author of
‘Liddypool: Birthplace of The Beatles’ and consultant on ‘Looking for Lennon’.
• Excellent food and merchandise – all Covid-secure and enjoyable from the comfort and
safety of your car.
• Other short films, guests and speakers to be announced.

Loxwood’s diverse programme of drive-in films offers a safe, socially distanced experience for the
whole family. Crystal-clear sound will be delivered through an FM transmission to each individual incar
stereo system. An on-site food delivery service will enable guests to order hot food and cold

Join me on BBC Radio Merseyside for my feature, “There Are Places I Remember” with this week’s episode being on West Derby and Tuebrook.

Naturally, we discussed the Casbah, but there are a few lesser-known locations too, including the venue George Harrison played – in a group that wasn’t The Quarrymen – before re-forming The Quarrymen! What a story!
