Product Description
Product Description
The definitive account of the connections between the greatest rock n roll group that ever was and a small town on the south coast of England - In just 14 months from August 1963 to October 1964 The Beatles played more shows at the Bournemouth Gaumont than any other concert venue in the UK outside London. - A tape of a full Beatles concert recorded during their first visit to Bournemouth is the earliest known example of their theatre show. Despite the excellent quality of the recording it remains unreleased. - The iconic cover photograph for the With The Beatles and Meet The Beatles albums was taken in Bournemouth. - Howie Casey, who played with Wings in the 1970s and has lived in Bournemouth since 1978, has links with The Beatles that go back to their very earliest days. With his band The Seniors, Howie was at the same audition in 1960 when John, Paul and George first performed as the Silver Beatles. The Seniors were the first Liverpool band to go to Hamburg, paving the way for The Beatles. - The first American TV audiences saw of The Beatles was not the Ed Sullivan show as is widely believed, but film from the band s appearance at the Winter Gardens, Bournemouth two months before. - George Harrison s first Beatles song, Don t Bother Me was written while staying in Bournemouth. - John Lennon bought his Aunt Mimi a home just outside Bournemouth and until he left the UK in 1971 was a regular visitor to the area. - The story told in The Ballad of John and Yoko began while John was travelling to Mimi s house before he ended up standing in the dock at Southampton . - Launched in August 1963, Beatles Monthly conducted its first extensive interviews and photo shoots with the band in Bournemouth, forging a relationship that resulted in the magazine being published for almost 30 years. With previously unseen and rare photographs of The Beatles taken in Bournemouth, photos licensed from Beatles Monthly and unpublished images of Mimi at home, the story is told using first-hand accounts from the people who were there the fans, reporters, photographers, venue staff and musicians.
About the Author
Nick Churchill has been writing about music and many other things for more than 25 years, most of them at the Daily Echo, Bournemouth. His earliest musical memories revolve around miming to Beatles singles on the radiogram, during which time he memorised the words to I Want To Hold Your Hand, Can t Buy Me Love and I Feel Fine. Then again, he also learned the words to Puff the Magic Dragon from a Music For Pleasure children s single by the Mike Sammes Singers, who later appeared on I Am the Walrus, Good Night and Phil Spector s version of the Let It Be album.

If like me you have a book case groaning under the weight of books about The Beatles, make some more room because here's another one for you! Nick Churchill takes you from The Beatles early days up to present time with a few surprises along the way. Nick has managed to find plenty of people who were there when The Beatles were starting to take the music world by storm. Read the fans accounts of what it was like to see them play live in a theatre that might have been showing a film the previous day. Go back to the days when the music business was still about the music and pure talent. Nick has also included lots of photographs which have not been seen before. I won't give you too much detail but once I started reading this book I found it hard to put down. If you know any Beatles fans then maybe this might make a nice present for them. Fancy Bournemouth being such an important part of the early days of The Fabs!
