Whoops!!! I made date error. Pete Best's sacking was on 16 August 1962, not 16 January 1962 as I mistakenly stated. I seem to recall that Mona Best's biggest beef with Brian Epstein was that he didn't then have the necessary know-how and contacts when it came to getting the Beatles into better payin...

For instance, the sacking of Pete Best was barely mentioned and it was the interviewer's fault for not trying to dig into anything of substance.

I occasionally bumped into Jim and Brian Harris along with Albert Dunlop in the Royal Tiger in Manchester Street in the city centre. Unfortunately, Albert Dunlop (born 1932 – died 1990) was not held in the highest esteem by the Everton faithful. He was made persona non grata and told, as an ex-play...

Thank you for this post! Fun to see the Hermits playing at the Cavern. Always glad to be of some little service. I had no idea that Noone was as young as he was at the time of the band's success. Peter Noone, reportedly born 05 November 1947, so would have been 16 at the time. They always said they...
