Celebrating the Birth of a Starr!

Celebrating the Birth of a Starr!

July 07, 2023

Born on July 7th, 1940, in Liverpool, Richard Starkey, better known as Ringo Starr, emerged as the rhythmic heartbeat of The Beatles. With his distinctive drumming style, infectious smile, and warm personality, Ringo quickly captured the hearts of millions around the world.

During the Beatlemania era, Ringo's infectious personality and natural charisma resonated with fans, earning him the nickname "the funny one" in the band. His unique ability to add a touch of wit and humour to their performances was a vital ingredient in their unprecedented success. Even after The Beatles disbanded, Ringo continued to captivate audiences with his solo work, forging his own path while leaving an indelible mark on the music industry.

Beyond his musical prowess, Ringo Starr has been a staunch advocate for peace and love throughout his life. Inspired by his experiences with Transcendental Meditation and his friendship with the legendary Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Ringo's pursuit of peace has become a cornerstone of his philosophy. From his iconic "Peace and Love" message to his involvement in numerous humanitarian causes, Ringo has consistently used his platform to spread positivity and make a difference.
