The Beatles early performances included popular songs from the 40s and 50s. They played rock-n-roll and R&B-based pop songs while gradually working on developing a style of their own. The group\u2019s mixture of rock-n-roll, skiffle, blues, country, soul, and a simplified version of 1930s jazz resulted in several multi-genre and cross-style sounding songs.<\/p>\n

Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Little Richard and other entertainers of the 40s, 50s and early 60s influenced them.\u00a0 Their distinctive vocals were sometimes reminiscent of the Everly Brothers’ tight harmonies.<\/p>\n

By 1965 the band\u2018s style absorbed ethnic music influences from India and other Oriental cultures which later expanded into psychedelic experiments and classical-sounding compositions. Their creative search covered a range of styles from jazz and rock to cosmopolitan cross-cultural and cross-genre compositions.<\/p>\n

Following on from the Dublin performances, The Beatles continued their tour.\u00a0 They were so popular that they had to get police protection almost everywhere they went.\u00a0 Throughout 1963 they began to get billing over Roy Orbison on their tours. Following the band\u2019s first tour of Europe in October, they moved to London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
