I am delighted to introduce you to our Sgt Pepper 50th anniversary programme of 13 exciting world premieres.
1967 was a moment when Liverpool’s creativity exploded onto the world,
and this newly ‘re-imagined album’ of art works, theatre, music and dance pieces celebrates this heritage and reaches out to a whole new generation.
The Beatles industry is worth a staggering £82m to the Liverpool economy each
year, and in 2016 the Mayor commissioned a report into their legacy and how this should best be promoted and preserved. Not to put them in aspic, but to celebrate these working class boys who, through their talent and hard work, conquered the world and promoted the place that was their real inspiration. So it’s fitting that we have gathered together international artists partnering with our own world-class arts organisations to animate our streets, venues and open spaces and create new
meaning from the Beatles words and music.
Culture is at the heart of our regeneration. We are proud to support a thriving cultural sector – a sector which brings some of the best artists in the world to the city and stages events experienced by millions. It’s at the centre of
everything we do and defines who we are and what we want to be. But it’s not just for our amazing galleries and theatres and museums, it’s for our streets, our neighbourhoods and our communities. It drives our economic and social agenda, empowers communities, giving them a voice and a say in the future of this city.
In 1967 the Beatles felt the only way they could be true to themselves and experiment was to become someone else - and so they created Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. This fantastic programme of events is filled with
experimentation and ambition, developed for and by a city that has no need to hide its identity, one that is not afraid to take risks, a city that will always
be true to itself.
We are very grateful to Arts Council England for support through their Ambitions for Excellence programme which has made much of this programme possible. There are lots of ways to take part and get involved in the celebrations and the
events are free wherever possible.
So as the song says “I hope you will enjoy the show”.

Presented by Metal, With A Little Help From My Friends is a new work by Turner Prize winning
artist Jeremy Deller. Inspired by the Beatles’ best friend Brian Epstein, the work is about friendship,
loneliness and love.
By 1967 The Beatles were the most famous people in the world; no doubt a totally alienating experience considering their youth. Naturally,
they depended greatly on each other and on a few trusted friends for support.
The relationship between the individual and society is a powerful theme in the work of Jeremy
Deller and in his response to this song, he has made two public art commissions that examine
the nature of friendship and self-sacrifice, not just with those we know but also between strangers.

Liverpool loves a world premiere, and Pepperland launches our Sgt Pepper at 50 celebrations in style. This ‘overture’ for our three-week festival is a special commission by the Mark Morris Dance Group.
Internationally acclaimed for his ingenuity, musicality, wit and humanity, choreographer Mark Morris and his New York-based company debut in Liverpool with a captivating performance
of dance and music.
This original work features a score by American composer Ethan Iverson with arrangements from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, including the title track, “With a Little Help from My Friends”, “A Day in the Life”, “When I’m Sixty-Four”, “Within You Without You”, and “Penny Lane”, intermingled
with six Pepper-inspired compositions.
An unprecedented chamber ensemble of piano, voice, soprano sax, trombone, organ, harpsichord, theremin and percussion performs live with the company, exploring Sgt. Pepper’s non-rock and roll
influences in a “rethinking of this profound cultural artifact with all of the imagination, surprise, humor, and bizarrity intact.” (Mark Morris).
Formed in 1980, Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) has received “highest praise for their technical aplomb, their musicality, and their sheer human authenticity.” (Bloomberg News).
With only four performances of this must-see show in the UK, Pepperland promises to be one of the high-points of “Sgt Pepper at 50”.

Judy Chicago, icon of American art, responds to the lyrics of Fixing a Hole with a spectacular mural on the walls of the monumental dockside grain silo.
Renowned for her large-scale collaborative installations, this celebratory work will be her
largest painting to date.
Chicago herself explains: “In creating this image, I tried to honour the incredible path that took four lads from Liverpool to stardom, and allowed me to
link my natural colour sense to the psychedelic hues that dominated so much of 1960s popular art.”
Visitors to Tate Liverpool can also get involved in a series of workshops, led by artists including Harriet
Hall and Karen Green, who will be creating a collaborative painting with the public in response
to Paul McCartney’s song.

We’re living in interesting times.But is it, as Paul McCartney sang, getting better all
the time? Or is it a case, as the laconic John Lennon responded, that it “couldn’t get no worse”? That’s what Paul D Miller, aka DJ Spooky,
sets out to answer.The Washington DC-born composer, artist and
author will explore the question through a mixture of performance and an audio-visual installation.
DJ Spooky will take to the stage at the Philharmonic Hall’s Music Room with Liverpool String Quartet
and a guest MC to remix a number of Beatles’ classics including Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, A Day in the Life, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields
and, of course, Getting Better itself.Hosted by Radio 6 DJ Stuart Maconie and joined by
a group of emerging Liverpool creatives who will tackle the same theme through music, visual art
and film. Main guest vocalist will be Bridget Barkan (USA) and artists will include music producer
LUCA, singer-songwriters Astles and LUИA, spoken word artist SPXKEN, and visual artist Totti. In addition, DJ Spooky, in collaboration with
multimedia artists The Holladay Brothers, has created a dynamic digital installation at FACT
featuring a multi-screen video and sound piece.Join the conversation on 5 June with a special
Q&A with DJ Spooky and Grammy Award-winning producer Steve Levine at Fact at 12pm and a
post-show Q&A at the Phil.T I C K E T S AVA I L A B L E F R O M :

We may not always love them when we’re on the receiving end of a parking ticket.
But Paul McCartney turned an encounter with a ‘meter maid’ close to London’s Abbey Road Studios
into an exuberant and jaunty love letter.
Lovely Rita and Liverpool’s own traffic wardens are the inspiration for this inventive performance
project by international performance artist Meow Meow.
Known for pushing boundaries, Meow Meow works with her Sleepless Beauties - acclaimed musician,
composer and producer Jherek Bischoff, sound designer and composer Jethro Woodward, and
award-winning designer Andrea Lauer - to produce a unique and glorious procession down iconic Hope
Street to start the weekend.
Setting off from the Metropolitan Cathedral at 9.30am on 10 June, it will involve musicians
and traffic wardens, with a little help from The Kazimier and culminates in an uplifting
performance outside The Oratory.
A thought-provoking visual and sonic installation, Rita Dreaming, is being held in The Oratory from
11am on 10 June, running over the weekend, with some surprise appearances and apparitions.
The weekend will culminate in Rita’s ‘awakening’ and a candlelight Requiem on the preciousness of Time in St James Gardens below Liverpool
Cathedral at 10pm on June 11.
This will undoubtedly be a first for Hope Street, the city, for traffic wardens and the world!

will be coming live from the city on BBC Music Day, with a range of special guests and
inspiring music, which celebrates both the album and the music scene in Liverpool ever
since. Listen out for announcements on air about how to be a part of the events on the day.

A Day in the Life brings Sgt Pepper to a close in symphonic fashion.
And this new film by writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce and Liverpool’s award-winning Hurricane Films will be a fitting finale when it receives its world premiere at Woolton
Picture House.
How do you measure a day? Bus tables, tide timetables, 24 hours….zero hours.
Starring legendary Liverpool comedian Tom O’Connor as retired river pilot Arthur, and rising star Paislie Reid as Ellie, his carer, the film takes a ride on the city’s famous

As part of the celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of the release of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album, Hurricane Films are inviting aspiring film makers to submit short films that depict a day in their life on June 1st, 2017 - 50 years to the day, since the album’s
release. A selection of the submitted films will be shown at the premiere.
The short (under 5 min) films can range from professional standard productions or simply be shot and edited on a smart phone. The chosen films will be selected for their imaginative
response to the brief, rather than on technical quality. Send online Youtube or Vimeo links of completed films to [email protected] by midnight on 9 June 2017.
The 16 June event will include a special Q&A with the creative team.
