How we helped children at a Lancashire school celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It all started with a message from Ann Montgomery, the librarian at Bury Grammar School. She wrote:
We are planning a small display to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sgt Pepper album and its local connection to Rochdale. We'd be grateful for permission to use the image of your poster as part of our display.
Ann was referring to our Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite print and, of course, how could we say no to a new generation eager to celebrate the greatest band of all time!
We sent over some artwork and Ann duly sent us this photo of the display (above), proudly being shown off by Alex, one of the student librarians who created it.
If you'd also like to celebrate in style with your own limited edition Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite letterpress print click through to order one now.
Order your prints in good time to arrive before Christmas. In this post, we'll suggest the latest times you should order for delivery in the UK, US and beyond.
October 9, 1940 is an important date in Beatles’ history – the day John Lennon was born. Each year, fans across the world celebrate his life and legacy. As one of the most well-known cultural icons of all time, Lennon’s impact on the world was undeniable, as both a musical icon and an advocate for peace.
Today marks a special anniversary for Beatles’ fans – especially for us here at Kite! On the 26th May 1967, the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
