Beatles fans gather for new unique event inside George Harrison's childhood home

This weekend, music fans gathered for a unique and intimate event inside one of Britain’s most significant musical landmarks — George Harrison’s childhood home at 25 Upton Green, Speke.

Hosted by local Beatles tour guide and storyteller Dale Roberts (@DaleLiverpool), “An Afternoon at George’s” offered visitors a chance to step inside the house where George grew up, long before the world knew his name. The event featured performances from The Paperback Writers, a band celebrated for their authentic renditions of The Beatles’ early rock ’n’ roll sound, and a tour from the owners (Dale Roberts and Ken Lambert) connecting George’s early life to the wider story of Liverpool and The Beatles’ rise.

Guests experienced an afternoon of live music and nostalgia — with the performance taking place in the house where George once strummed his first chords. The weather stayed bright, the atmosphere was warm, and visitors described it as “one of the most special Beatles experiences they’ve ever had.”  ‘An Afternoon for George’ Draws Fans to George Harrison’s Childhood Home
Dale said:

“It’s always special to open the doors to George’s home and share his story in the place where it began. There’s something powerful about hearing the music played here — it’s emotional, it’s real, and it reminds you how human these legends were.”

The event marks a milestone for Dale Liverpool Tours Ltd as earlier this week Dale’s company was shortlisted for Independent Business of the Year at the Liverpool Tourism Awards.

Roberts’ journey from Beatles fan to one of Liverpool’s most well known tour guides was recently featured in The Mirror, which told the story of how he went from working five jobs at the same time to co-owning George Harrison’s childhood home — an opportunity as a working class lad from Walton, he thought was out of reach.
