Sorry Boys You Failed The Audition by Ray Connolly
In the
summer of 1962 the Beatles auditioned for producer George Martin at
Parlophone Records. Having been rejected by every other record company,
it was their last chance to get a recording contract. As the world soon
found out, they passed the audition.
But what if they'd been turned
down? Seen through the eyes of Freda, their teenage Liverpool fan club
secretary, this is an affectionate comedy drama about what might have
happened to the Beatles if George Martin had said, 'No'.
Producer/Director Gary Brown
Ray
Connolly is a celebrated journalist and author. He is perhaps best
known for writing the screenplays for the films 'That'll Be the Day' and
the sequel 'Stardust' for which he won a Writers Guild of Great Britain
best screenplay award, and for his many interviews with the Beatles. He
was due to interview John Lennon on the day the ex-Beatle was murdered,
an event he wrote about in the BBC radio play 'Unimaginable'. In
addition to the biography John Lennon 1940-1980, he wrote the
introduction to The Beatles Complete songbook.
