Thank You, thank You, thank you 🙏 being a Beatles freak and you’re showing the stuff that I wanna see… not the normal Beatles stuff we have seen over and over.
"i was going to show you Sound City, but i actually cant be bothered now"...LOL !....imagine adopting this attitude for every travel vlog on You Tube....PRICELESS !!...brilliant !
I can see it now Speedy tours. Location 1: points and says “look there” moves on Location 2: points and says “that house there” Moves on Location 3: That’s not worth looking at. Moves on.
For someone who's not a " particular fan of Beatles" , You spent a lots of time visiting places associated with them and talking about the history of the band....that said, I AM A HUGE FAN , and therefore, very gratefull to see those places which I know, will never be able to visit...so, thank you very much for that!!!
Thank you. I would say I am a fan, but I'm not going to sit outside their homes or chase them down the street asking for autographs :-) I really enjoyed walking around the locations though because it I felt it brought me closer to them, and the Beatle experience!
Another fascinating video on Beatles locations, Tudor! It’s amazing that the telephone box across the street from the alleged Scotland Yard building is still there after 50 odd years!!
I was amazed to see it. When I used to commute to London and worked in Petty France, I’d get off the train at Charing Cross and walk up the Embankment, and I could have sworn the telephone boxes had been removed. I was glad to find them in place for my video. Thank you BT 👍
@@TudorSmith I wish you’d zoomed in closer on the plaque on Savile Row to see what it actually reads! When I was there more than fifteen years ago the plaque wasn’t there yet
Such a great video, thank you so much for your time and effort. Your Beatles videos are some of the best I’ve seen. Fun, interesting, informative and entertaining.
I very much enjoyed your video tour. I’ll have to reference it if I ever get “across the pond”. I remember as a little boy in the 1960’s being at Crescent Beach, SC …near Myrtle Beach, SC and sitting on the strand in the sun with my mom and brother. My mother told me that on the other side of the Ocean(Atlantic) was where the Beatles were. I just sat there looking out over the ocean thinking about them and wondering if I’d ever see them. Many decades later, I did see Paul and Ringo several times each in concert. Such great music and memories…thanks for the videos.
fun fact about saville rowe, the abacrombe and fitch is still open, when its open you can go in and look around. the room directly to the right as you enter was john lennons office and now is just tables of clothes. its cool tho because you can go in the room and you can also find footage of him in there discussing the piece campaign angrily with a female reporter in 69
I went inside on 30th January 2019 on the 50th anniversary of the rooftop gig. It was Abercrombie and Fitch clothes store then….now it’s their offices. I was lucky to look around inside. It was a fab gathering.
Again thank you Mr. Smith for such great content for us Beatle fans... so knowledgeable and informative for history in general to.This man is to be commended I say! 👍👍👍🙏🇨🇦🇬🇧
Very good job I’ve never been to London and it’s been a dream of mine to go someday so I just loved the whole thing you did on the Beatles but also seeing London thank you
Thanks Tudor for that Beatles walk 1 & 2. My friend & I had done it a few years back so brought back some happy memories of very sore feet etc. We are both 77yrs of age now and are still. BEATLES crazy. Have done Liverpool circuit as well so looking forward to revisiting with you, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!!
I’ll try my best to get everything correct then when I do it - especially if it’s your neck of the woods! You’re bound to know everything from up there already eh? 👍😊
Excellent. Make sure to check out my other two vids on London - you might find a few other interesting location. I’d be interested to know if you know any I haven’t covered. I could do a fourth video 👍🙂
Thank you for a very entertaing video! It's great that most of those Beatles locations still exist in London. Where I live, in Gothenburg Sweden, so much of the city centre was demolished in the seventies and old beautiful buildings were replaced by ugly concrete buildings.
And you’re a Beatles fan!! We are now subs of your channel. We really enjoyed this some really fascinating nuggets of info you don’t find in other Beatles vlogs. Thanks for sharing 🍻
Seeing you walk passed the Palladium,reminded me that I actually worked there as a musician on stage with a show in November 1977.It was the Swingle singers and Mary O'hara.
Another very interesting tour as usual. At 3 Savile Row-which might have another floor added now?-I took a photo of it about 1975 looking like the rear of Ringo’s LP photo. There’s a bit of US history here too as much earlier, its owner was General Robert Ross. In 1814 he was sent to the US during the War of 1812. His army defeated Generals Madison and Monroe in Maryland. He then marched on Washington and entering the capital, proceeded to burn the place down, including the White House; the only invader that has captured Washington, DC. Heading north he was killed a few weeks later in the Battle of Baltimore. Paul
Here’s a wave to you Tudor! I knew you, like The Beatles, ‘expected’ it! LOL! Great tour! So many of the actors in Help informed so much of my life in so many other shows and movies! For example, Leo in ‘The Prisoner’, one of the best TV shows EVER done, ending off course with…. ‘All You Need Is Love’ in it’s two part finale! Here in the states, they continued The Prisoner theme in a famous Colombo episode! Even including the famous line, “I’ll be seeing you! As I recall, Yoko actually hounded Paul for mos. Trying to get an audience with the lads, and didn’t he send her John’s way? At 3:20 that scene almost looks like the area Ringo was filmed in his Lonely-Boy scene in Hard Day’s Night scene whe everyone said that he had acting talent, but later said he was just hung-over when they filmed that scene. Is that where that happened? Or elsewhere? ”
Yeah Leo is great in the Prisoner. Weren’t Patrick McGoohan and Peter Falk good friends? I thought PmcG was in several Columbo episodes. I was able to visit Portmeirion this year and also did a walkabout video. Check it out when you get a moment Michael, the scenery brings back a lot of memories from that series.
@@TudorSmith Yes, they were, and yes he was in at least one more as I recall, in the episode ‘By Dawn’s Early’ light, where he played a Military School Colonel! That one has a teenage Bruno Kirby (RIP) in it. I think it was his first roll!
That was brilliant, as was Part 1. I particularly like when you juxtapose the 1960s photo onto the modern day view. Probably, if you had wanted to use up some more shoe leather, there were a few more locations from the "Mad Day Out" you might have visited. Also, I was thinking you might have gone to Guildford Street and the Hotel President (by Russell Square) where they stayed, I think, on one of their first visits to London. There is a particularly iconic photo of the lads walking along the street here side by side, which I think provided the template for the Beatles statues at the Pier Head in Liverpool. Anyway, these are minor quibbles, as you featured all the important places. It was great to see Ailsa Avenue. I have a childhood memory of watching Help! at the local cinema and being mightily impressed by the 4 front doors scene. And those houses have changed relatively little over the years too (apart from in value, obviously).
Great Video indeed. I saw the first part as well and I'm going to see the third part after watching this one. But it is, and this is not Beatles fault, very disturbing to see central London so empty.. I think you shot these Videos November 2021 and I know Covid and people working from home.. But that is not the London I used to walk around 🧿 Maybe now, May 2022 London looks more vibrant. Keep on posting and Greetings from Spain 🍏

I won’t say too much as my comments for part 1 appear to have been deleted ( or maybe I just pressed the wrong button ) but Thank You for another smashing video and my only addition is that I have read that Abercrombie & Fitch won’t let anybody onto the Baker St roof even when, allegedly, offered £5000 by someone to do so.
@@TudorSmith It’s ok I made a couple of comments/observations following part one but I’m guessing I forgot to press the send button as they don’t appear. Keep up the good work my friend and I look forward to the next Beatles instalment…..or how about a trip to my hometown of Dartford for a Jagger/Richards episode? 😉👍
Great video Tudor. Not sure if it's true, but I was told that an additional storey has been added to the ex-apple office at Saville Row since that last rooftop gig. Also, just round the corner from Carnaby St where the video ends is the site of the Bag o' nails club where Paul met Linda....
I’d read something about that but if you look at some of the pictures from the gig, you see those pointed roofs of the roof windows so I’m not sure. I’m sure someone does though! Bag O’Nails - I missed a trick for my video there! 😊
The roof is actually largely the same as it was in 1969. If you check out the recent official Beatles 15 minute vid the presenter (editor of the new Get Back book whose name escapes me) gets on to the roof and explored the basement. The ‘glass house’ on the building next door that features prominently in the film and still photos is still there today. What has changed is the dormer window roofs have been reconfigured from pitched and tiled to flat. I believe the post war brick structure from which The Beatles emerge on to the roof has been removed or changed. Abercrombie and Fitch still occupy the building. The basement, formerly the Apple recording studio is a stock store room today.
If you go to The Beatles UA-cam channel and click on the "Get Back and London, on the trail of a timeless story", you'll find a film in which John Horns looks at locations from The Beatles: Get Back film including the rooftop and the basement of the ex-apple office.
Tudor, I thoroughly enjoy your videos and notice that you break down a lot of phrases and references in the lyrics of their songs. Is it possible to break down songs that make these references so I could better understand them. For example, the custard dripping from a dead dogs eye. What is that?
I don’t know if yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog’s eye is a metaphor or just some random ramblings that John put in with the intention of changing it later and never got around to it! 🤷🏻♂️
Al just like The White Album! A whole other disc (in this case, a video!) for the VALUE of one! A true Beatle release all on it’s own! BTW @ 2:16 John shoulda gone into #9, #9, #9….
They certainly quit while they were ahead! The sum of all four made them great. Sure they had some great solo efforts but not as many as when they were the band.
I believe that Apple Logo was inspired by Rene Magritte in his work Le Jeu de Morre. Which Paul Mccartney had either seen or had a print of. But the idea for the name Apple was because it was one of the first things we teach our children, A is for Apple. Simple communication.
There's a famous photo of Jimmy Nicol at the airport sitting alone after sitting in for Ringo for several weeks - for those several weeks he was a Beatle, world wide fame, thousands of girls screaming for him - and now in the blink of an eye, just another anonymous regular guy at the airport waiting to go back home
Dear Sir , I'm a Beatles fan from Malaysia . John Lennons mother died of car crash on july 1958 . Can you make a video of the crash site ? Anyway ,Thank You so much for the videos .
John and Cynthia got married on August 23,1963 and moved into Brian's flat.. ( date from Cynthia's book) Eventually, after Julian was born, Mimi invited them to move back into her place.
It's good to see Eleanor Bron, as everybody knows I'm the last person on earth who would ever indulge in malicious gossip or idle tittle-tattle, but I do believe John Lennon gave her one, lucky Lennon if you ask me.
Interesting to hear you mention Dundee's Andi Lothian who became a promotor in the mid 60s. Unfortunately Andi Lothian is not a trustworthy source as he has hyped his part in the story of The Beatles, trying to take credit for many things including being the "man who took The Beatles to Scotland". The fact is that he was a sideman to Albert Bonici the actual promoter, who had signed The Beatles from Brian Epstein in late 1962, initially for a short tour of The North of Scotland in 1963. They missed their first date at The Longmore Hall, Keith due to bad weather, and instead played their first date at The 2 Red Shoes, Bonici's own club in Elgin, Moray, North East Scotland, on January 3rd 1963 and then onto Dingwall, Aberdeen and Bridge of Allan. This was literally weeks before they exploded into the UK music scene. Bonici had a clause in his contract to take any subsequent tours of Scotland and promoted then in the late 1963 and early 1964 tours of Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Lothian was in his late teens at the time and has tried to write out Mr Bonici, who was an experienced and established promoter, ever since, and also take credit for the phrase "Beatlemania". The phrase was probably coined and popularised by a journalist. My cousin played in the support band on the first date and I know a lot of the people involved at the time including Johnny and the Copycats, who were a Bonici act and supported The Beatles on two dates of the 1964 tour.. I also spoke to Beatles historian Mark Lewisholm who verified that Bonici was the primary promoter and contact for theses dates. Bonici also handled many other artists including The Rolling Stones, Kinks, Who, Dusty Springfield. m.facebook.com/Bonici-The-Bands-The-Two-Red-Shoes-Story-107776990833019/
@@TudorSmith There are a lot of connections with the North and North East of Scotland and The Beatles. But I'm no skilled orator and video presenter, like you Tudor. Just Google Albert Bonici, Beatles, Johnny Gentle and you will find a wealth of information. I've always been a Beatles fan, and am a bass player too. I became involved in a project to celebrate Bonici and the 2 Red Shoes featuring original artists from the era, which was going to take place in July 2020. But Covid intervened. Anyhoo, here's a brief overview... John Lennon used to visit his relations in Edinburgh and up in Durness (far North) as a child and loved it. He got his first harmonica from ab Edinburgh bus driver! Then the pre fab four Silver Beetles (John, Paul, George, Stu Sutcliffe and Tommy Moore), came up here to the North of Scotland in 1960 supporting Johnny Gentle playing the likes of St Thomas Hall Keith and Forres Town Hall here in Moray. This was not connected to Albert Bonici but was the tour they had stage names Long John Lennon, Carl Harrison and most interesting... Paul Ramon. This was where The Ramones took their name. The band also crashed their van outside Banff Aberdeenshire on the way to Fraserburgh or Peterhead. Later in 1969 John and Yoko were driving to Durness in their Maxi(!) and John crashed the car near Golspie, Sutherland, and they were in the local hospital. I think Yoko was pregnant and miscarried. Take a trip up Tudor and do your thing! I could even give you the spare room here in Elgin 😉✌️
I've been considering Scotland, more so for my photography channel but thinking about it, if I can dig up enough info, I could do a Beatles in Scotland Walkabout!
@@TudorSmith Come on up you can kill two birds with one stone. The beauty of the scenery up in the Highlands and here in Moray is fabulous. And of course here in Moray we have the Spey, the whisky river and all the glory of Speyside 🥃
Great video. Makes me wanna go back to London and really EXPERIENCE it. The Beatles office was a kids clothing store when we visited in 2017. They have a little display in the front lobby acknowledging it's Beatles history. Asked to get on the roof but they were ADAMANT that nobody goes up there. One of the employees told us they've been offered bribes including one dude offering $5000 just to get up there for a few minutes.
So sad they sold the Apple house 1976 and new owners did not care about the Beatles past. The studio is gone, now there is the warehouse in the cellar.
Tudor Smith is just joyous. His enthusiasm is infectious for Beatles fans.
Walked most of the venues in May 2017, but enjoyed the video very much. Probably because of the good vibes our guide is giving off. Thank you!
You have such a relaxing demeanor and voice. Youre an excellent presenter. Thank you for doing all this for us!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I won’t say too much as my comments for part 1 appear to have been deleted ( or maybe I just pressed the wrong button ) but Thank You for another smashing video and my only addition is that I have read that Abercrombie & Fitch won’t let anybody onto the Baker St roof even when, allegedly, offered £5000 by someone to do so.
Did you say that in your last comment Ian? I thought I replied to it too!
@@TudorSmith It’s ok I made a couple of comments/observations following part one but I’m guessing I forgot to press the send button as they don’t appear. Keep up the good work my friend and I look forward to the next Beatles instalment…..or how about a trip to my hometown of Dartford for a Jagger/Richards episode? 😉👍
Great video Tudor. Not sure if it's true, but I was told that an additional storey has been added to the ex-apple office at Saville Row since that last rooftop gig. Also, just round the corner from Carnaby St where the video ends is the site of the Bag o' nails club where Paul met Linda....
I’d read something about that but if you look at some of the pictures from the gig, you see those pointed roofs of the roof windows so I’m not sure. I’m sure someone does though! Bag O’Nails - I missed a trick for my video there! 😊
I'm not a Beatles expert Scott - but I thought it was in Kingly Street, between Regents St and Carnaby Street. I'm sure there is a plaque there.....
The roof is actually largely the same as it was in 1969. If you check out the recent official Beatles 15 minute vid the presenter (editor of the new Get Back book whose name escapes me) gets on to the roof and explored the basement. The ‘glass house’ on the building next door that features prominently in the film and still photos is still there today. What has changed is the dormer window roofs have been reconfigured from pitched and tiled to flat. I believe the post war brick structure from which The Beatles emerge on to the roof has been removed or changed. Abercrombie and Fitch still occupy the building. The basement, formerly the Apple recording studio is a stock store room today.
If you go to The Beatles UA-cam channel and click on the "Get Back and London, on the trail of a timeless story", you'll find a film in which John Horns looks at locations from The Beatles: Get Back film including the rooftop and the basement of the ex-apple office.
I was pretty sure it looked the same (i.e. No extension on the roof). That video from the Guardian channel is quite enlightening.
Tudor, I thoroughly enjoy your videos and notice that you break down a lot of phrases and references in the lyrics of their songs. Is it possible to break down songs that make these references so I could better understand them. For example, the custard dripping from a dead dogs eye. What is that?
I don’t know if yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog’s eye is a metaphor or just some random ramblings that John put in with the intention of changing it later and never got around to it! 🤷🏻♂️
Really enjoy your videos and engaging personality. Some locations I didn’t know. I hate musicals too.
Your welcome. Yeah I don’t see the point of musicals - well - those jump-on-the-bandwagon city shows 👍
Was there not a couple of doors away from the London palladium(I believe on the left hand side of the palladium) an office that Brian ran Nems from ?
Ah the NEMS office. Yeah just around the corner from the Palladium. I did visit it in my London Pt3 video 👍
Al just like The White Album! A whole other disc (in this case, a video!) for the VALUE of one! A true Beatle release all on it’s own!
BTW @ 2:16 John shoulda gone into #9, #9, #9….
Thanks Michael. John certainly liked the number 9 didn’t he!
7th of November 1963, 2 shows in Dublin, Ireland.
I'm so glad the Beatles ended when they did. Just imagine the Beatles as the Rolling Stones. Carrying on long after they were great.
They certainly quit while they were ahead! The sum of all four made them great. Sure they had some great solo efforts but not as many as when they were the band.
excelent video....i can´t open the googlemaps link
写真のはめ込み方がグレートです！
Great video mate but for your records, Indica was 7th November not on John's birthday 9th October.
Thanks for the info 👍
I love you videos Tudor. Will you consider a trip to Liverpool?
Yes I will. Maybe not next week but pretty soon 😀 thank you for making the premier 🙏
@@TudorSmith Thank You Tudor, for your time and dedication. Sometime soon . Liverpool be wonderful, I m sure. Best Wishes.
What about the Apple Boutique?
That’s in the part 1 video 👍
You can enjoy it no matter how many times you watch it
life is let it be ✨😃💞
Summit held in Hiroshima🎌🗻🗾
years later when they did the send up did the rutles film on the roof top
I just watched the video Get Up and Go and while it looks similar, the surrounding buildings look different to me. Good call though :-)
I believe that Apple Logo was inspired by Rene Magritte in his work Le Jeu de Morre. Which Paul Mccartney had either seen or had a print of. But the idea for the name Apple was because it was one of the first things we teach our children, A is for Apple. Simple communication.
Ah that’s cool. Thanks for sharing 👍
There's a famous photo of Jimmy Nicol at the airport sitting alone after sitting in for Ringo for several weeks - for those several weeks he was a Beatle, world wide fame, thousands of girls screaming for him - and now in the blink of an eye, just another anonymous regular guy at the airport waiting to go back home
So sad eh?
@@TudorSmith Indeed
Go on, wave!
No. I don’t like to 🤣
Dear Sir , I'm a Beatles fan from Malaysia . John Lennons mother died of car crash on july 1958 . Can you make a video of the crash site ? Anyway ,Thank You so much for the videos .
If I get to Liverpool, I'm sure I'll be able to cover the location!
Fab tour thanque
Thanks 🙏
John and Cynthia got married on August 23,1963 and moved into Brian's flat.. ( date from Cynthia's book) Eventually, after Julian was born, Mimi invited them to move back into her place.
It's good to see Eleanor Bron, as everybody knows I'm the last person on earth who would ever indulge in malicious gossip or idle tittle-tattle, but I do believe John Lennon gave her one, lucky Lennon if you ask me.
No one could accuse you of tittle-tattle or malicious gossip :-) Eleanor Bron though...mmm
Why does everything look so much better back in the sixties?
Dunno. Maybe they were younger and freer in spirit 🤷🏻♂️
totally agree about musical theatre, it's stomach churning
🤣 to each their own eh? Definitely not for me (or you)!
Julian Lennon nasceu em 63! Grande ano! Também eu nasci em 63! A 8 de dezembro de 1963, a morte de John estragou a minha festa de anos, fazia 17😢
Julian Lennon nasceu 3 meses depois de mim. 1963 foi um bom ano. Triste notícia de que seu aniversário também é o aniversário da morte de John!
@@TudorSmith o melhor ano para a casta do vinho do Porto! 😅
🤣🍷
It seems John met Yoko on his birthday
Oh yeah - I never checked!
Interesting to hear you mention Dundee's Andi Lothian who became a promotor in the mid 60s.
Unfortunately Andi Lothian is not a trustworthy source as he has hyped his part in the story of The Beatles, trying to take credit for many things including being the "man who took The Beatles to Scotland".
The fact is that he was a sideman to Albert Bonici the actual promoter, who had signed The Beatles from Brian Epstein in late 1962, initially for a short tour of The North of Scotland in 1963.
They missed their first date at The Longmore Hall, Keith due to bad weather, and instead played their first date at The 2 Red Shoes, Bonici's own club in Elgin, Moray, North East Scotland, on January 3rd 1963 and then onto Dingwall, Aberdeen and Bridge of Allan.
This was literally weeks before they exploded into the UK music scene.
Bonici had a clause in his contract to take any subsequent tours of Scotland and promoted then in the late 1963 and early 1964 tours of Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Lothian was in his late teens at the time and has tried to write out Mr Bonici, who was an experienced and established promoter, ever since, and also take credit for the phrase "Beatlemania". The phrase was probably coined and popularised by a journalist.
My cousin played in the support band on the first date and I know a lot of the people involved at the time including Johnny and the Copycats, who were a Bonici act and supported The Beatles on two dates of the 1964 tour..
I also spoke to Beatles historian Mark Lewisholm who verified that Bonici was the primary promoter and contact for theses dates.
Bonici also handled many other artists including The Rolling Stones, Kinks, Who, Dusty Springfield.

Wow that’s really fascinating. I didn’t find any of that info online - perhaps I didn’t know what to look for! You should do a video 😊
@@TudorSmith There are a lot of connections with the North and North East of Scotland and The Beatles. But I'm no skilled orator and video presenter, like you Tudor.
Just Google Albert Bonici, Beatles, Johnny Gentle and you will find a wealth of information.
I've always been a Beatles fan, and am a bass player too. I became involved in a project to celebrate Bonici and the 2 Red Shoes featuring original artists from the era, which was going to take place in July 2020. But Covid intervened.
Anyhoo, here's a brief overview...
John Lennon used to visit his relations in Edinburgh and up in Durness (far North) as a child and loved it. He got his first harmonica from ab Edinburgh bus driver!
Then the pre fab four Silver Beetles (John, Paul, George, Stu Sutcliffe and Tommy Moore), came up here to the North of Scotland in 1960 supporting Johnny Gentle playing the likes of St Thomas Hall Keith and Forres Town Hall here in Moray.
This was not connected to Albert Bonici but was the tour they had stage names Long John Lennon, Carl Harrison and most interesting... Paul Ramon. This was where The Ramones took their name.
The band also crashed their van outside Banff Aberdeenshire on the way to Fraserburgh or Peterhead.
Later in 1969 John and Yoko were driving to Durness in their Maxi(!) and John crashed the car near Golspie, Sutherland, and they were in the local hospital. I think Yoko was pregnant and miscarried.
Take a trip up Tudor and do your thing! I could even give you the spare room here in Elgin 😉✌️
I've been considering Scotland, more so for my photography channel but thinking about it, if I can dig up enough info, I could do a Beatles in Scotland Walkabout!
@@TudorSmith Come on up you can kill two birds with one stone. The beauty of the scenery up in the Highlands and here in Moray is fabulous. And of course here in Moray we have the Spey, the whisky river and all the glory of Speyside 🥃
Great video. Makes me wanna go back to London and really EXPERIENCE it. The Beatles office was a kids clothing store when we visited in 2017. They have a little display in the front lobby acknowledging it's Beatles history. Asked to get on the roof but they were ADAMANT that nobody goes up there. One of the employees told us they've been offered bribes including one dude offering $5000 just to get up there for a few minutes.
$5000?! Shocking! They must have been uber-fans!!!
So sad they sold the Apple house 1976 and new owners did not care about the Beatles past. The studio is gone, now there is the warehouse in the cellar.
Times are changing eh?
Paul knew Yoko earlier than John btw
Yep I figured when I was making the video 👍
Apparently Yoko had targeted Paul first……but he wasn’t interested…
Oh I never knew that 👍
John married Cyn in 1963 I believe.
I’ve got it as 23rd August 1962!
@@TudorSmith Yes correct....It was late when I watched the video and I couldn't be bothered to Google it! I knew it was early on.
John married Cynthia in 1962
Cool thanks for that
Sadly, Brian's death was also the beginning of the end...
I've often wondered what path the Beatles would have taken if he'd have lived. Would they ever have split up for instance?
No, thanks - I play rhythm guitar and mouth organ...
One of the better come back lines 🤣
Ono had been tracking John for a while,on utube a picture of Ono and her second husband,she need money for her so called art.
Yes she was definitely after funding
