I'm told it will but have no details yet.

Thanks. But no other show I've presented has been filmed.

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...

The final panel featuring Anna Tharia Dr @allisonbumsted.bsky.social Ken Womack @marklewisohn.bsky.social @susanryan07.bsky.social @stevenc63.bsky.social Jason @beatlespod.bsky.social and Dr Richard Mills examined the future of The Beatles. #Beatles #Kinsale #KinsaleBeatlesFestival

Congrats to Beatles Books Podcast on making 100 – a brilliantly simple idea done simply briliantly. I'm pleased to have been part of it.

George Martin would have been 100 today. Here he is characteristically being both musical and stylish.

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.

Thank you.

Thank you.

JAN 1 2026 - UK followers will be able to ADVANCE ORDER copies of The Beatles In Canada: THE EVOLUTION 1964-1970 (BLUE) book ... via Omnibus Press (UK) after tomorrow at the link below. 💙 💙 omnibuspress.com/products/the...

Great to see George alluding to @marklewisohn.bsky.social 's research for his excellent "The Beatles Live!" book in episode 9 of the Anthology: "He ran out of beauty competitions to judge!" That's all the Threetles who have joked about it now. How lovely to have given the Fabs a laugh! #Beatles

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...

15. The Beatles, All These Years, Volume 1: Tune In, @marklewisohn.bsky.social . I avoided it for years, because even for me, it's surely too much - it can't sustain the interest while ending in 1962, can it? Oh, yes it can. It's magnificent. www.marklewisohn.net/tune-in/

Just up on the Telegraph, a thorough and thoughtful piece about the wrongheaded policy changes at WAC. Thanks to Kate Murphy, @illuminations.bsky.social, @unamccormack.bsky.social and @marklewisohn.bsky.social for giving up their time. Gift link here www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/65a1031...

In Tune In I quoted a 1960 Paul McCartney letter declaring that the Beatals (yes) had ‘competence, confidence & continuity’ … and just today I’ve found that Paul nicked it from a Midland Bank cheque book, Competence–Continuity–Confidence being printed on the inside back cover. Great nicking, Paul!

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social This is a story: an act of self-harm and cultural vandalism by the BBC. cstonline.net/defending-th...

Mark’s passion and precision is spot on. And so very vital. The WAC is a *stunning* resource. It must be allowed — empowered — to thrive. SHARE. cstonline.net/defending-th...

Thrilled that @marklewisohn.bsky.social has contributed this passionate, personal post to the CST series against the recent BBC Written Archives policy shifts. His cri de couer is directed squarely at those who came up with the changes. Please read and share widely. cstonline.net/defending-th...

MUST READ! In the latest CST blog about the damaging changes going on at the BBC Written Archives Centre, @marklewisohn.bsky.social delivers his cri de cœur squarely at those who came up with or are signing-off on this policy shift. Please read and share widely. cstonline.net/defending-th...

Thank you. I'll try to find it but I know this anecdote well and have it from a much earlier telling.

Thread: 1/6 These are FAB! A great collection of interviews by @marklewisohn.bsky.social from International Beatleweek 2025. So much insight into those early 1960s Liverpool years (plus a fascinating Wings diversion) I can’t recommend it enough! 1/6 Billy J Kramer youtu.be/4ApGofqRLUw?...

I love this picture of Patrica Routledge, who has died today, taken in London in January of 1966.

I am thrilled to be joined by master researcher @marklewisohn.bsky.social for this special season finale. Mark discusses his methods, decades of research and the extraordinary amount of detail that goes into all his books. gimmesometruth.podbean.com www.marklewisohn.net #TheBeatles

Sorry, I have absolutely no knowledge of this.

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social being interviewed by @marklewisohn.bsky.social at the Liverpool Beatles Convention this year. A very entertaining feel-good 40 minutes! #Beatles youtu.be/0S8f4Hmd3tg?...

Yes, he does. Photo taken Dublin, 7 November 1963. With Paul and John backstage at the Adelphi are, as you say, Eileen Reid and the Cadets, a local showband.

RIP to the magnificent Brian Wilson. I love this picture of him with Paul McCartney singing ‘God Only Knows’ at a benefit gig in 2002. Such admiration for each other, so much joy at once.

Brian Wilson (1942-2025). There was simply nobody like him. What gifts he gave us. Sail on, sailor.

A wonderful archive fragment circa 1964. Ringo's mum was asked for an autograph. She didn't want to sign Elsie Starkey or Elsie Graves or Elsie Graves-Starkey and she probably wanted to reassure the applicant she was Ringo's mum, so she signed Mrs E. Starr, a name she never had.

Alf/Freddie Lennon had said the Blackpool incident happened at the house of his pal Billy Hall. I found Billy in 2009, in Auckland, NZ, age 85, the only living witness to a much mis-told event in young John Lennon's life. And I got to the truth just in time – Billy died on his 90th birthday in 2013.

I think my only public event this year will be at the convention in the annual International Beatleweek Liverpool – Sunday August 24 in the Adelphi Hotel. I'm always happy to sign anything people bring.

That's lovely, Nicole. I'm glad you found the book inspiring.

Thank you, Eric. Would you please DM me?

I'm delighted ‘Tune In’ still thrills, and pleased to remind that the all-I-wrote edition (two books boxed) is nearly twice the length of the abridged single-book. I'm sorry Volume 2 is taking SO long to complete but it’s a huge monster of a project. One day it’ll be done – but I can't yet say when.

I had a nice time watching ‘Ringo and Friends at the Ryman’. First and always the man is a musician, and at 84 he's in good voice, drums great and moves well, plus the band cooks and his guest musicians are fabulous. And in 2025 we really do have to understand: what's so funny about "peace & love"?

One of the many astonishing revelations in @marklewisohn.bsky.social’s masterpiece.

My congrats to the prolific writer and ex-BBC Radio Merseyside presenter Spencer Leigh on turning 80 years young today, for which he's written a thoroughly entertaining life memoir, 80@80, available via Amazon etc. We've enjoyed sharing music nuggets for 40 years and it don't seem a day too long.

Actually, no audio recording was made of the extended edition of Tune In – only the edition I abridged for mass-market publication. The one you heard may have seemed long but it's what I call the pamphlet …

I've not heard it before but I have heard the so-called Carnival of Light. This is not that.

It was shocking that Neil left the world so unexpectedly. How badly we miss his calm, rational wisdom in today’s mad bad world, but we do still have his music – his erudite, witty optimism. His widow Yvonne’s bio is a fair start but a fully-researched multimedia resumée is richly merited.

I think I only did three podcasts this year, trying to restrict them a bit, though I always enjoy doing them. See this list for any you might have missed. www.marklewisohn.net/audio/

Back in ’64 George Harrison found a pic in which he scowled a V-sign with both hands – and had it printed life-size for his door and also as his year’s Christmas card. Plus it was a movie still and part of a Beatles album in France – and no one noticed the V-signs. Merry Xmas, George – and everyone!

Thanks for following me on Bluesky. Here at long last is my 'next post'. Season's greetings to you, and fingers crossed we survive the bumpy ride of '25. Be assured I'm still working all possible hours on volume 2 of my Beatles history trilogy – it IS still happening, but it's slow work.

Hello Bluesky, where I believe the air is cleaner and more peaceful. Special thanks if you've followed me across from Twitter-X. I hope to post some tasty things here from time to time.
