Synopsis

My interest in the Beatles all started with me reading an article on Buddy Holly performing in a back street pub in Liverpool which led me to discover that Ringo Starr lived on the same street. This took me on a journey to find out where these four lads grew up in the back streets of Liverpool, which years later inspired me to restore and preserve as much Beatles heritage as I could, Finding along the way places and stories that not many people know about. This would then be the core to this book in which I describe my time as a live in custodian of Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s childhood homes, working for the national trust.

À propos de l'auteur

I was born in Manchester the late 40’s and grew up on the cobbled streets of Harpurhey in a broken home. Eventually I moved in with my Grandma and travelled the country with my uncle Bernard, who sold lamps to fairgrounds up and down the UK. When I was old enough at the age of 14 he put a good word in for me at the garage where he used to have his van serviced and from there I became a skilled mechanic. After 17 years I acquired a job at British Aerospace which is where my interest in the Beatles began. I am now 65 years of age and recently retired from being a janitor at Rochdale fire station, my passion with the four lads and where they grew up is still as strong as ever.
