Remembering lovable Mal Evans today, close friend and beloved factotum of the Beatles. Much missed.

As we continue celebrating George Martin's centenary, here's his isolated score for Martha My Dear. If memory serves, this is also @mjmckean.bsky.social favorite song on the White Album. youtu.be/lmBpNI6tGNI

Happy 100th Big George! I’ll be celebrating here for the next week but let’s start with one his greatest scores, Strawberry Fields Forever, which we re-recorded by following the Beatles’ original rhythm track so it’s as faithful as possible. youtu.be/UrO-s7gh0-c?...

As we mark the centenary of George Martin's birth, it's worth reflecting on the huge contribution he made to the Beatles' recordings. George played on more Beatles tracks than any other outside musician & his openness to experimental ideas & his tasteful musical arrangements were perfect for them.

A unique version of Octopus's Garden created for George Martin's tv special in December 1969. Ringo's vocal and drums from the Beatles version with other instruments added by session musicians! #Beatles youtu.be/yIrlIeG7QLY?...

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.

Remembering Sir George Martin, born #OTD 100 years ago. Truly the Fifth Beatle? I think so. (Also, there’s an episode for that ..) podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/n... @beatlespod.bsky.social @stevenc63.bsky.social #SirGeorgeMartin #TheBeatles

It's Jan 2nd - time to start Get Back Day by Day for 2026. Rewatch each day in (sort of) real time. #getbackdaybyday

OTD in 2012: I started writing about the Beatles' Get Back sessions, working with the once-hot take that maybe the sessions weren't as bad as everyone said. Thank you to everyone who’s supported, followed, liked and joined the conversation since! 14 years is remarkably long in Internet time!🙏💜🥳

The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions by Mark Lewisohn

I'm looking forward to this one! More so than four biopics.

I loved seeing more clips of The Beatles reunion sessions in Anthology episode 9, but it's clear there's much more footage in the vaults. Maybe Peter Jackson could put together a multi-episode tv series about the '94/'95 sessions? #Beatles

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

Wherever you are in the world…

Happy New Year, beautiful Beatles community! x youtu.be/w6EeAZy91-s?...

Let’s hope its a good one. Without any fear.

I've had a fantastic year meeting up with so many lovely Beatles fans and experts. A joy to hang out with @michellemabelle.bsky.social @onthechimney.bsky.social @stevenc63.bsky.social @jillianreilly.bsky.social @bookyvikki.bsky.social @gimmesometruthpod.bsky.social @damienmaguire.bsky.social

Kirsty 💜 Such a fantastic singer and songwriter.

How I'm walking out of 2025. youtu.be/uyg1T3qfTU8?...

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...

@marklewisohn.bsky.social in his forthcoming Evolver '62 doc. It looks fabulous! #Beatles vimeo.com/1023543808?f...

What better way to celebrate this festive time of year than a remixed/restored Beatles outtake. youtu.be/ArBY7_CX2uQ?...

🗓️ GET BACK ADVENT CALENDAR, DAY 17 (December 25, 1968): Happy Crimble!! It’s 8 days to the Beatles’ Get Back sessions, 57 years ago today. The party was on and the feeling was at the Wirral, where the McCartney family celebrated the holiday. 🎄📸📺 theymaybeparted.com/december-25-...

Merry Christmas, everyone! #Beatles

Happy Christmas and all that fellow NIRds.

Audio from Winter Warnerland (1988). Merry Christmas to those of you celebrating… and to everyone, wishing you peace. See you on the 26th!

#BeatlesAdvent Day 18 Christmas Time Is Here Again, 1967. Like the 1966 record, this one has been copyright struck on YouTube. Upload them officially if you're bothered, lads! Here's the first three minutes: the song that gives it its title was released in full on the Free As A Bird single in 1995.

#BeatlesAdvent Day 16 Thanks to @whydontyoutube.bsky.social for posting this recently updated rip of The Music Of Lennon & McCartney, a TV special broadcast by Granada on 16 December 1965. youtu.be/PZxfh4NGt34?...

#BeatlesAdvent Day 14 Pantomime: Everywhere It's Christmas, 1966. The best of the Christmas records for me, and a total departure from the others: a series of unstructured Goon Show-like sketches, recorded while they were starting work on Sgt Pepper.
