ABOUT THE FILM

John, Paul, George… and Colin? Based on the book by musician Colin Hanton and author Colin Hall, PRE FAB! is the story of one man, his drums, and the band that would become The Bealtes!

Colin Hanton serves as tour guide through this fascinating and highly-entertaining chronicle of the rise of “Skiffle” music and its impact on post-World War II British youth, the influence of American rock ’n’ roll, and how a boy named John Lennon rounded up his closest friends to learn music and form a group in 1956 called The Quarry Men that would evolve in just a few years into the biggest and most influential band in music history.
