The first exhibition was held in the barn at historic Binham Grange estate and was a success, leading to it becoming an annual event. The exhibition is organized by Gallery 4 Art, a group that aims to make art accessible by holding exhibitions in unique non-gallery venues around Somerset.
Gabrielle Aplin is an English singer-songwriter known for her folk-influenced pop style. She gained popularity by posting covers on YouTube and releasing independent EPs. Aplin signed with Parlophone and released her major label debut English Rain in 2013, which charted highly in the UK and Ireland.

Thesong “Yellow Submarine” by“TheBeatles”
Pupil 1: Good afternoon! Welcome to our submarine. Do you know who thought
this name?
Answer: The Beatles.
Pupil 1: Right you are. Today we have a trip in our yellow submarine.
Pupil 2: Liverpool is the hometown of the Beatles.
Pupil 3: They were all born in Liverpool.
Pupil 4: The citizens of Liverpool are proud of their famous countrymen.
Pupil 2: 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”.
Pupil 3: 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 October1940
in Liverpool. John's father, Alfred (or Fred) 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.
4. 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 schoolat the age of five.
John enjoyed painting. His favourite bookwas Alice in Wonderland. Later, he was
fond of reading books byRobert Louis Stevenson and Edgar Allan Poe, or books
about artists. After finishing the elementary school, John attended the Quarry Bank
Grammar Schoolfor 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 sonto 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 TheQuarry Men. The boys began playing at home and schoolparties,
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.
Pupil4: 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 schoolPaul
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 composesongs on his piano very quickly. Paul
asked his father to buy him a guitar. He had to rearrange the strings on his guitar
5. because he played with his left hand. Paul was fond of rock’n’rolland 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 5: 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.
Pupil 6: McCartney joined Lennon's group TheQuarry Men. The two began to
composesongs together, and it was those songs that drew the people's attention to
them. Their first professionalconcerts 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 backto 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.
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 schooltrousers 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.
6. 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 boyand
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 ofthat 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.
7. Pupil 3: Our trip has finished. Thank you for your coming. We hope you’ve had a
wonderful time with legendary English group “The Beatles” and of course you’ve
learned a lot of new information about them.
