With Scouse parents and extended family in the city, he has always thought of Liverpool as a magical place - a firmly held impression conjured by many encounters with its characterful people and a life long affection for the Beatles and their music. He’s long wanted to make a documentary that combines these themes in a new and different way - one that’s quirky, unexpected and artistic, and strives to befit the most amazing band in history and the wondrous place they came from.
