About this audio guide
This guide to The Beatles Story on Liverpool's Royal Albert Dock zooms in on a single object: the cheap Dutch-made Egmond acoustic that was George Harrison's first guitar. It follows a teenage schoolboy, a loan from his mother, and the brothers who shared a bedroom-sized ambition in nineteen-fifties Liverpool. Along the way you'll meet the skiffle craze and a short-lived group called the Rebels. Stand close to the glass case where the guitar is displayed.
