Candy Leonard holds a master’s degree in psychology and a doctorate in sociology. Driven by a lifelong passion for the Beatles, she recently published Beatleness: How the Beatles and Their Fans Remade the World on how young Americans experienced Beatlemania in the Sixties.
With The Beatles
Music is probably the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Liverpool. The Guinness Book of Records even declared the city the “World Capital City of Pop” in 2001, due to the fact that “acts from Liverpool have had more UK chart number one hit singles (54) per capita than any other city worldwide.”
A Capital of Culture
Culture has always been at the core of Liverpool’s identity. Be they actors, musicians or poets, artists from all around the world have been settling in Liverpool for a long time, and contributed to the city being appointed European Capital of Culture in 2008.

This wonderful city has a lot to offer, and I am going to try and show you that John Lennon was right in saying that “there is a lot to do in Liddypool.”
