The phenomenal success of the Beatles in the United States led British bands of all types and genres to perform in the U.S. with great success and to be warmly embraced by local audiences—a phenomenon known as “the British Invasion.”
The process was effectively initiated by Brian Epstein, the Beatles’ legendary manager, who brought to the United States, following the Beatles, bands he managed, such as Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer, Herman’s Hermits, and others. This encouraged other British bands to come to the United States.
The musical lecture tells the stories behind the success of the British bands in the U.S., accompanied by original and translated music videos by the bands.
