Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.

Exciting Beatles news for 2026!

A brilliant show with the incredible levels of research you’d expect from the ‘big dog’!

Bring it on!
The word is that I’ve a 'movie' out shortly. It's true. My 2022 theatre show The Beatles / Evolver:62 was filmed, and selections from that + new material shot in Liverpool and London comprise a feature that'll be streaming from Feb 2026. More details to follow, sample here vimeo.com/1023543808?f...

It’s usually the argument that Leave My Kitten Alone was a stronger track but left off. I’ve always loved this track because it fits snugly on Beatles For Sale - and there’s no other Beatles song like it.

That Beatles song that so many people dismissed - turns out that it’s one of John’s finest vocal performances

Any tech people know how to help the brilliant Beatles Bible appeal against the FB ban? An incredible long term resource, removed for ridiculous (and incorrect) reasons. If there’s a way where the Beatles community can get together to appeal please help!
Facebook banned my page. Appeal was unsuccessful 😢

Definitely the one!
In terms of 60s, John and Paul’s ‘66 interview with Keith Fordyce is as relaxed (very much so) and un-PR as you’ll get.
And incredibly entertaining

Original lyrics then…

Verse 1:
How can I conceal the thrill that I feel?
Is our love still real?
Tell me if this is so, I wanna know.

Verse 2:
I saw you today and I asked you to stay,
But you ran away,
Tell me why this is so, I wanna know.

And there’s more!
The full ‘63 acetate of What Goes On! Almost unrecognisable from the finished version on Rubber Soul, you can hear that the guitar pattern would later be repurposed for I’ll Cry Instead.

And, also for Cilla, It’s For You (the full version has been auctioned/sold multiple times, so would be easy to grab hold of)

Despite the YouTube comments claiming “AI!” these are The Beatles’ demos of Love of the Loved (for Cilla Black) and Misery, with different lyrics. Anyone who saw Evolver ‘63 will remember a snippet of the latter.

Astounding that new Fabs material is still emerging!

Very much so! If said with authority, any old rubbish is easy to believe. A recent Beatles book was riddled with inaccuracies and was lauded by many. Such a shame.
