As someone growing up in Merseyside, it was impossible to not hear the Beatles regularly.
However, I had never really considered myself a fan of the Fab Four. Born in 2000, I missed out on seeing the band in their heyday by decades. I would listen to their songs if they were played on the radio, but would never go out of my way to immerse myself in their sound or to look into the rich history of the band.
I would even go as far as to say that part of me didn't see why they were held in such high acclaim by so many people. All of that changed through my job at the ECHO.
