As a fellow Stokie, it was a joy to hear Andy talking about the Beatles in the Potteries. The origin of Misery is a lovely connection to the city and the King's Hall (where I sat my A Level exams - thinking "The Beatles played here"). A massively entertaining episode!

New episode! Beatles statue sculptor Andy Edwards digs into Misery – its Stoke-on-Trent origins, its status as the first Beatles cover, and musical details that make its 1:47 runtime so distinctive. Listen now on all podcast platforms: www.buzzsprout.com/1820033/epis... #beatles #thebeatles

60 years to the day since Paul’s lascivious wink and boozy demeanour was captured beside a very unimpressed Mrs Harrison. Happy anniversary to those who celebrate. #GeorgeHarrison #Beatles #PattieBoyd

Just caught up with this deep dive into Blue Jay Way. Adam S.Leslie's enthusiasm and eloquence are a joy to hear as it the detailed analysis of individual elements of the track (and isolated instruments) to explain how the haunting, woozy, swirling atmosphere was achieved in sound.

This is a fantastic listen! Laurence is clearly a massive Beatles fan and knows their work in fine detail. Very entertaining anecdotes about working with Paul and George. Laurence has an extremely deep knowledge of music theory and history. Don't miss it!

The original version of Someplace Else (from the movie Shanghai Surprise) - such a gorgeous, majestic melody. An absolutely outstanding song! youtu.be/N20-6z492S4?...

Hors-de-Crewe Sunset (Yesterday 4pm)

Cette photo. Mais cette photo ! Et le regard de George. L'oeuvre photographique sur les Beatles est à la hauteur du groupe.

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist. Paul McCartney - Wembley Stadium, July 13 1985. Far too many support acts! £25

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

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-...

Happy Christmas and all that fellow NIRds.
