about

I was in Liverpool with my field recorder and I thought I'd make an ambient recording of the sound of Penny Lane, a road made famous by The Beatles' wonderful song. It was raining and just a normal day in October 2019. It's only now that we can appreciate this was 'a day in the life' of Elizabethan England, a moment now passed into history. This is the sound of a wet day on the road where the young Beatles would often be found, and place made special by their song, a big part of the cultural patchwork quilt that was the reign of Elizabeth II.
