As always, @marklewisohn.bsky.social providing historical context for Dungeon Lane! Thanks to @adixonmusic.bsky.social for sharing. Full video here: youtu.be/xowdzq02hDQ?...

@marklewisohn.bsky.social just finished watching Evolver 62... I would watch 20 hours more of you narrating every year of the story of the Beatles! So grateful, thank you ♥️

Evolver 62 on blu ray has arrived in the UK. Can't wait to watch it! Thanks to @marklewisohn.bsky.social for turning his 2022 stage show into an exciting new documentary!

Bought and watched it on Apple TV. I loved every second of it. Wonderful supplement to Tune In. Can’t wait for what’s next.

Watched on Prime--the presentation of the 1962 history in setting the stage for The Beatles was engrossing! It is definite must-view for Fab Four fans & anyone wanting to understand the work ethic, drive, and confidence behind the lasting cultural force that captivated and changed life in the 1960s.

An engrossing journey through The Beatles' break-out year of 1962. I bought the film as a bit of a down payment on the future volumes, and because it's always a joy to hear the incredible story of The Beatles illuminated as no else can @marklewisohn.bsky.social letterboxd.com/nickfield90/...

Spending the evening with the guvnor - congrats to @marklewisohn.bsky.social on the tremendous ‘Evolver 62’ Required viewing for anyone Beatle inclined.

Not yet, no. But when I have that info, I'll post it on Bluesky.

Rest of the world: Liverpool West, (production company for my film Evolver:62) say "Distribution outside the USA and UK hasn’t been settled yet and will have a slow rollout." When I have more news, I'll share it here. DVD from bit.ly/3Zap37F is US product and sent from there, so it won't be cheap.

US people: I'm delighted by the appreciation from those who've seen Evolver:62. There are several ways to see it in America: Apple TV: apple.co/46m6L7x Google Play: bit.ly/4qsUXHy Fandango at Home: bit.ly/45SSvTu Amazon US: amzn.to/4pXf4gL

UK people: I'm thrilled by the warm appreciation from those who've seen Evolver:62. The production company Liverpool West is US-based and has focused most distribution efforts there so far. There is just one UK availability, which is amzn.to/4bP7bGS

It’s fantastic! Just finished watching it and actually got back on Bluesky to congratulate you since I saw on your website that’s where to find you. Thank you so very much for your commitment to tell the story of the lads with such respect and accuracy and passion

This, by @marklewisohn.bsky.social, is truly brilliant and totally absorbing - and despite having been a lifelong Beatles fan it's full of colourful detail I hadn't heard before. Thankfully it's also available on Apple: tv.apple.com/us/movie/evo..., so I don't have to tell you to give JB your money.

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.
