Author Talks | Us and them : Canada, Canadians and the Beatles

With words, images and music, local author John Robert Arnone will tell the remarkable, proud and little-known history of Canada's relationship with The Beatles. His research will leave you breathless, including: A Canadian talent scout who let the early Beatles slip through his fingers; uncredited Canadian musicians who played on Beatles songs; a 14-year-old Scarborough teenager who created the world's largest Beatles fan club and an Alberta Cree elder who likely influenced John Lennon's "Imagine". And so much more.

Q & A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
