It’s early 1962 and John, Paul, George, and Pete, are  headed down to London to audition for a major record label. Will they land that much desired recording contract?

This is the story of how one of the thousands of amateur British schoolboy skiffle bands in the mid-1950s evolved into the beginnings of the greatest band in popular history.
