Pre Fab!

The last Beatles story to tell about how it all began… Before the Fab Four, there was PRE FAB! –the story of one man, his drums and the biggest band the world would ever know!

PRE FAB! chronicles the rise of “Skiffle” music and its impact on Post World War II British youth, the influence of American Rock ‘n’ Roll and how, in 1956, a boy named John Lennon rounded up a host of friends, including Paul McCartney and George Harrison, to form a group called The Quarrymen.
