Calderstones - For Trombone and Guitar

This piece for trombone and guitar evokes one of the most beautiful parks in Liverpool and the home of the prehistoric and mysterious Calderstones. It is almost opposite John Lennon's childhood home on Menlove Avenue. He spent many happy hours in Calderstones Park. The school that he attended, Quarrybank, is now named "Calderstones High School". In 2000 Paul McCartney opened a Linda McCartney play area in the park, recognising the importance of the park as a former Beatles' haunt and valuable asset for the community of Allerton.

Beautiful. Thanks for posting this. I spent my teens creepin' round this park and the streets around it. Menlove Gardens has a grassy square and I used to take my guitar out in the evenings and sit on the grass with mates and just mess round and sing. Happy days... Thank you so much for showing me my old stomping ground through fresh eyes with such beautiful music, Adrian. Is that your family in the vid?

@adrianallan Gorgeous family, Adrian. I was up in the Lake District that weekend. Was it the Liverpool Mathew St Festival you went to see? My brother went to see the John Lennon play on the Sunday night he said it was outstandingly good. I couldn't go so hope they repeat it somewhere as it was so popular. But whereabouts in the park are these neolithic stones 'cause I swear I've never seen them! How strange. Have they just made them viewable to the public recently perhaps...
