Birthday Boy

On this day in 1940 

Richard Starkey was born, even though he was a sickly 

child he became one of the most famous drummers the

world has ever seen, when the beatles asked him to join

while he was working with another rock group at a Butlins

Holiday camp.

People made fun of his nose and looks, and put him down

for years because of it, and his drumming style, 

but its his looks and his drumming style that make Ringo

who he is. He has had success as a beatle and in a solo career.

He is still touring and preforming to sell out crowed today, 

and show no sign of stopping. Stepping out to front the stage,

in sequin collar jackets and sparkly t-shirts. 

And i am just going to say one thing about his looks int he 60's

at the height of beatlemania. I think that he was cute, not ugly

as some people might think. Always portrayed as the fool, if it

be in movies, of cartoons. A talented man, a beautiful man,

with a loving soul and a caring, giving heart 

Happy Birthday Ringo Star!

We Love You Ringo!

59 YEARS AGO

To Celebrate the Quarry men's concert at the church fete 

at the same day John Met Paul i have put together these

photos from that very day.

All Those Years Ago

Today July 6th in 1957 was a moment that changed the face 

of popular music FOREVER. It was nothing more but a

normal church fete, but at this fete two of the greatest singer 

song writers of all time would meet each other for the first time.

St Peter's Church, Woolton, Liverpool, was the setting of 

When John met Paul!

And the rest is history. 

But thank god they met, if they hadn't then 

who knows how the world of popular music and 

a lot of  people's lives would have been very different.

Back from Butlins

So i'm back from my yearly holiday at Butlins Minehead.

And it was lovely, but now i have to wait another year,

before i go on any sort of holiday again. 

But that is how it always is, its just i thought while i was there,

in the last year since i was last here...... so much in my life

has completely changed. NOT FOR THE BETTER.

This last year has been all over the place, and i couldn't 

help but wonder, what would have changed by the next time

i go there next year? And if this past year is anything to go 

by, i wont be looking forward to it. But i hope any changes

will be for the better and not worse. 

To my american readers

Happy 4th of July, Have fun with the fireworks and bbq's

that will no doubt be going on all over america today.

Going on holiday

I wont be posting anything for a week, i am going for 

a holiday a Butlins Minehead and i will of course,  on my way

there and when i get there in the town, be looking for 

anything that is related to the Beatles. 

Did you know.

The beatles filmed their train scenes from A Hard Days Night

in Minehead? And the fish and chip shop in Magical Mystery 

Tour is near Taunton. (only an hour from Minehead) 

See, there is a little bit of Beatles History everywhere you go. 

(by the way, the fish and chip shop is still there but now its 

an oriental take away)
