“The Beatles exist apart from myself. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion, and until the end of my life, people may see that shirt and mistake it for me.” George Harrison

“Sgt Pepper is special for me because I was born on 29 May & it came out on 1 June. So when I was being born in St Mary’s Manchester it was being played on hospital radio. It still contains some of the greatest Beatles songs like A Day in the Life & Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.”
