Speakers: Mark Lewisohn, Daniel Finkelstein

Mark Lewisohn is the independent historian of The Beatles, who is working on a three-volume history, All These Years. The first volume was published in November 2013. In this conversation with Daniel Finkelstein he dwells at least a little on the story’s Jewish elements – from managers to marriages and the bravura blend of Jewish and black talents – the so-called Rhythm ‘n’ Jews mix that underpinned rock and roll and created so much of the music that shaped The Beatles.
