Another great read from Jonathan, digging into the mysteries of Alexis Mardas.
I visited Hydra to speak to people who knew the Beatles’ former electronics guru, "Magic" Alexis Mardas – hearing about his abandoned house, his lavish parties, his connections to royalty - and why no one still seems to know who he really was:
The Kalashnikovs, the kings, and the abandoned mansion: Magic Alex's hidden life on Hydra
Alexis Mardas owned a huge house which had a swimming pool, a cinema, and (according to one neighbour) guns. Then he disappeared – and the source of his apparent wealth remains mysterious.

Today I become a film star. Well, hardly, but the documentary based on my 2022 London theatre presentation Beatles/Evolver:62 is available from Amazon Prime, 108 minutes of surprising and engaging cultural history for the price of a coffee. In the UK the URL is www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/det...
Watch Evolver 62 | Prime Video
Globally-renowned historian Mark Lewisohn weaves an array of short sharp stories into a savvy and surprising reveal of a band that's stayed both cutting-edge and massively popular, The Beatles.

Well this is quite a strange and beautiful thing - a film made in 1967 to accompany the song Penny Lane - not, it seems, as an official thing, but an independent production.

On this day in 1962 (February 2nd), The Beatles performed their first professionally organised gig outside of Liverpool at Manchester’s Oasis Club.
They opened with “The Hippy Hippy Shake”, and went on to perform a set list that included songs such as “Sweet Little Sixteen” and “Like Dreamers Do”.
