On Tuesday, April 5th, Mark S. Cartier will present a program at the Bridgewater Public Library on “The Beatles – The Studio Years: 1967-1970.” The program begins at 7:00 p.m.
This 75-minute program is designed for anyone interested in the music of the Beatles, from new fans to the most rabid fan. The presentation will cover the second half of the Fab Four’s career from the artistic high point of the Sgt. Pepper album in 1967 to their final release Let It Be in 1970. With the aid of musical selections, the program will put the group in the context of the late 60’s, including the death of their manager, their ill-fated television film, their trip to India, their growing creative differences during the recording of the White Album, the crowning achievement of Abbey Road, and their bitter personal and business conflicts which resulted in their break-up, leaving in their wake one of the richest legacies in popular music.
Cartier recalls watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show as a nine-year old and has been a lifelong fan from that moment on. He owns the entire Beatles catalogue in every available format. He has a wealth of Beatles facts, figures and trivia culled from the hundreds of books, magazines, interviews, and documentaries devoted to their work. He has been a professional actor for over 30 years and is a dynamic speaker.
This free program is supported in part from a grant from the Bridgewater Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. It will be held in the Flora T. Little Meeting Room on the lower level of the library. Parking is available in back of the library, located at 15 South Street.
