<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Just in case anyone thought the 'build them up, knock 'em down' trajectory was anything new as far as Her Majesty's press is concerned, Stan Sowden's review of The Beatles' return to Bournemouth for a one-off bank holiday show on 2 August 1964 should make interesting reading.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Stan was a peculiar character, someone I got to know towards the end of his life. He was properly old school, a showbiz reporter through and through, always ready with a take to spin and something of a legend if truth be told - if only for being one of the few newspapermen anyone has seen carried <i>into</i> a restaurant for a free meal!</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Anyway, in line with the rest of the media Stan had been charmed by The Beatles the previous summer and swept up in the hype and fuss of Beatlemania that followed their Winter Gardens visit in November. By the time the summer of '64 rolled around, in keeping with the rest of the British press, the man at the <i>Evening Echo</i> was straining to see the cracks start to form.</b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Last night the screaming was still there, but it was not so loud, one could hear the show and there was a higher proportion of people who went to listen to The Beatles rather than to scream at them.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Apart from a few children who tried to rush the stage, there was little trouble during the actual performances themselves.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>With fantastic tours of America and Australia behind them, as well as their first film, The Beatles themselves don't appear to have changed at all, thank goodness, and there is still that drive and vitality that makes them the most popular entertainers in the world. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The Hearts - they dropped the Purple from their title when the phrase began to have a sinister ring - got the show off to a better-than-average start, their lead guitarist being brilliant. Adrienne Poster provided the touch of glamour, and Mike Berry and the Innocents took us up to the interval. Now that he has stepped out of Buddy Holly's Shadow, Mike gets better and better each time I see him.</b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first shot (above) shows Mimi sat outside at Harbour's Edge.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The story goes that John called Harbour's Edge </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"The most beautiful place I know" and loved visiting because people would leave him alone.</span><br />

Cynthia recalled one trip to the seaside at Sandbanks where they frolicked on the beach, built sandcastles, swam and enjoyed a picnic with Julian.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Much later Mimi remembered one instance when a photographer tried to snap John and the family on the beach. She was horrified but her nephew must have been in a forgiving mood, telling her not to worry and that he hoped whoever tipped off Fleet Street's finest had </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mimi lived at Harbour's Edge until her death in 1991, at which point John's widow Yoko sold it. Other than a few squatters and some rave parties the house remained empty until it was demolished in 1994 to make way for two luxury homes. Sandbanks now boasts the fourth most expensive land prices in the world behind Belgravia, Upper Manhattan and Moscow, but ahead of Tokyo and Paris.</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks to a lengthy and somewhat bitter account in Ray Davies' otherwise excellent autobiography <i>X-Ray</i> there has always been an air of mystery surrounding The Kinks' appearance with The Beatles at Bournemouth Gaumont on bank holiday Sunday 2 August 1964.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Scheduled to open the second half of the show, playing immediately before The Beatles, according to Ray as the band tuned up behind the curtain he and John Lennon exchanged unpleasantries as the fans screamed for The Beatles. Just as the curtain raised Ray Davies changed the set list and The Kinks opened with their new single, <i>You Really Got Me</i>, ahead of its release on Tuesday.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjANjPkqc_CJNQJUF8tsYGeJ3Evcv4WaXBrkw-RmlGs160_KSIep5pw46OXztF9bWrF-LCFFnlAML7NqrG1BZK9RDepJPWAGPUugb12zdTWMY3xQnqk5bX3zpL9N4rwlkTqtSaj5lvZ5-gA/s1600/bTicGmt64aWeb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjANjPkqc_CJNQJUF8tsYGeJ3Evcv4WaXBrkw-RmlGs160_KSIep5pw46OXztF9bWrF-LCFFnlAML7NqrG1BZK9RDepJPWAGPUugb12zdTWMY3xQnqk5bX3zpL9N4rwlkTqtSaj5lvZ5-gA/s1600/bTicGmt64aWeb.jpg" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The fans' screams turned to 'We want The Kinks' and apparently to avoid a repeat performance in the second house, the irked Fab Four insisted The Kinks be moved to a close the first half of the show.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were no other eye witness accounts to support or contest Ray Davies' account. Fans that were present recall The Kinks making an impression on the crowd, but not to the extent that they 'converted' Beatles fans to scream for them over their mop topped idols.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Indeed, Kinks drummer Mick Avory has no recollection at all of anything untoward before their set.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a recent email he told me: "I remember us going on before The Beatles and had a great reception from the crowd, with Paul McCartney coming up to us when we came off saying: 'You didn't have to warm them up that much!'."</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of all the photos taken of The Beatles in Bournemouth and published in <i>Beatles Monthly</i>, this is among the most intriguing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's not easy to pinpoint the location, but the chain link fence and wooden posts suggest it is somewhere on the cliffs overlooking the sea to the east or west of the town centre. The Palace Court Hotel, where The Beatles were billeted for their six-day summer season next door at the Gaumont on Westover Road in August 1963 is just a short walk from East Overcliff Drive, past the Russell-Cotes Museum, behind the Royal Bath Hotel.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But would The Beatles have been able to walk out of the Palace Court and up the hill to the East Cliff without being pursued by fans? Probably not, although there are photos of Paul signing autographs in the street that week, so maybe they did manage to stretch their legs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More likely is they took a short drive along the cliff top road, stopped near the deck chair stand and posed for the photo.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The accompanying feature in <i>Beatles Monthly</i> doesn't offer any explanation, nor does it explain where Ringo is or who's leaning on Paul's deckchair. It's a bit of a stab in the dark, but could it be Paul's brother Mike? Their dad Jim is thought to have been with The Beatles in Bournemouth. It could also be Michael Cox, possibly a relative of Maureen, Ringo's girlfriend, and introduced to Swedish radio interviewer Klas Burling that week.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps you know...? If so, please don't hesitate to shine a light.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">This tape recording of George Harrison composing his first song for The Beatles was one of the most popular entries on this blog when first posted a couple of years ago.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">The earlier clip has long since been withdrawn but now it's back!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Confined to his room at the Palace Court Hotel in Bournemouth during their week-long summer season at the Odeon next door from 19 to 24 August 1963, George coughs and splutters his way through the makings of what would become <i>Don't Bother Me</i>, his first Beatles song and featured on the <i>With the Beatles</i> album, the cover of which was photographed downstairs in the Palace Court restaurant that same week.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">The tape was made by Beatles' driver Alf Bicknell on the reel-to-reel recorder given to him by John Lennon and surfaces from time to time as a bootleg.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Bill Harry, founder-editor of the <i>Merseybeat</i> newspaper, who was with The Beatles in Bournemouth that week, says he had been on at George for ages to get him to write a song for the group. George, who later dismissed the song as 'not very good' in his autobiography, finally gave in and used it to pass the time after Brian Epstein had sent him to his room for the day to keep his fresh for the shows that night.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">(In fact, George had previously co-written <i>In Spite Of All The Danger </i>with Paul McCartney in 1958 when they were in The Quarrymen and recorded it as a demo with Buddy Holly's <i>That'll Be The Day</i>.)</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Barely a day passes without a Beatles golden anniversary of some kind - 50 years ago today for instance they were on a train headed for Newton Abbot filming sequences for </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i>A Hard Day's Night</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">They were exciting times to be young and in love with music. With the screams of the previous year's Beatles' shows still ringing in the rafters, Bournemouth's Winter Gardens played host to concerts by The Rolling Stones on 22 February 1964 and the Gaumont had Cliff and the Shadows to look forward to on 29 March.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In a story that has come to light since the publication of <i>Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Beatles & Bournemouth</i>, Geoff Purkiss from Parkstone remembers seeing The Beatles' final show in Bournemouth, at the Gaumont on Friday 30 October 1964. They shared the bill with R&B star Mary Wells - the first Motown artist to tour the UK - as well as The Remo Four, The Rustiks, Sounds Incorporated, Michael Haslam, Lorne Gibson (replacing Tommy Quickly) and compere Bob Bain. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">George, Paul and John interviewed by American television backstage at the Winter Gardens</span></i></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It took Bournemouth a few days to recover from The Beatles' two shows at the Winter Gardens on Saturday 16 November 1963. The town was somewhat shellshocked by the fervour which greeted the group who just a few weeks before had played a six-night summer season at the Gaumont in Westover Road to enthusiastic crowds.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But since then their fourth single <i>She Loves You</i> - released the Friday of their Gaumont run - had stormed to the top of the charts and just two weeks before the Winter Gardens date the <i>Daily Mirror</i> had coined the phrase 'Beatlemania' to describe the public reaction. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bournemouth felt the full force of Beatlemania and American television crews were on hand to record it. Those reports, first on CBS then NBC, gave US TV audiences a blueprint for how to react to The Beatles so that by the time they arrived in the States on 7 February 1964 to play the Ed Sullivan Show 50 years ago today (16 February) American teenagers were powerless to resist.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sense that something big was in the offing runs right through the <i>Bournemouth Times </i>review of the Winter Gardens show. Published on 22 November 1963, reporter Tony Crawley had been in close company with the group during their Gaumont run in August, but bore witness to the new heights they were obviously scaling.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's what he had to say...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was a bomb scare at the Winter Gardens minutes before the second Beatles show on Saturday night. A telephone call warned that a bomb had placed under the stage. Police searched and found nothing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As it was, the place was full of bombs - the audience. The Beatles themselves were merely the time fuses. Very short fuses at that. As a game try was made to introduce the 'fab-tastic' wonders one by one, the audience literally exploded into a frenetic cascade of noise. One vast, seething, frightening mass of screams, shouts, sighs and sobs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've seen the incomparable Sammy Davis Jnr in cabaret and at the Palladium. I've seen the most emotional star of all, Judy Garland in a jam-packed palladiuym. I've seen Shirley Bassey rock the Winter Gardens thrice. And I've seen The Beatles on stage at least five times before.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But honestly, sincerely, I have never seen anything so frantic, frenzied or fantastic.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They had been immensely popular during their summer week's stay at the Gaumont. But their receptions were 50 times as great - 100 times as big as anything I've seen accorded to Cliff, Billy, Adam and the rest of the Beatle-squashed ilk. Never before has a pop audience in this "staid" town gone quite so mad, quite so wild.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seats, for which they had queued over three nights, were forgotten. They stood and swayed and shouted and stamped and waved pictures, handkerchiefs, or just arms. They tore hair, wiped their eyes, fainted, were revived and continued.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Beatles looked as shyly nonplussed as usual - just played and sang on. As usual they never did anything to incite anyone. No wiggles, no pelvis gyrations. They just played their music. Dahsing about in and out of the emotional throng of fans, three American TV film units captured the unbelievable scenes for America - and the world.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Americans were racing against time and each other to be the first to feature Beatlemania in the States - by Monday or Tuesday! Then their news film will be sold to other countries, I was told.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The NBC feature was for the company's Panorama-like <i>Huntley-Brinkley Report</i> compered from two cities by Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">William Sheehan of ABC interviewed the lads and then filmed them in action - with their fans' reaction - and Josh Darsa of CBS did likewise for a news programme.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"It's the sort of story we could hold on to for a week or more," he said. "But now the other networks are here, we'll have to rush it home pronto."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also covering the event, and accompanying The Beatles to the Branksome Towers Hotel, and on the next day to Coventry, was a photoreporting team from <i>Life</i> magazine.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I thought they'd only scream at the end of each song," added Margaret Gardiner from <i>Life</i> naively.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll let the three young screamers who sat behind me and pierced my ears good and hard, answer that one: "We didn't pay to hear The Beatles. We can hear them at home any time on discs. We paid to see them - to scream for them. We practised screaming last night without records."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So now you know.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What would Thomas Hardy have made of The Beatles? Or Enid Blyton for that matter? Both literary giants have a strong association with the Isle of Purbeck and both will be well represented in the programme of events that make up the inaugual </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.purbeckliteraryfestival.info/" target="_blank">Purbeck Literary Festival</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, from 17 February to 2 March.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Blyton's Famous Five were, of course, described as 'The Beatles of children's literature' by one breathless commentator in 1970, around the time the Fab Four split. The reasons are convoluted, the reasoning decidedly tenuous, but the association is put up for discussion at the <a href="http://blytonpublishingphenomenon.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Enid Blyton: Greatest Publishing Phenomenon</a> blog.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Happy New Year one and all ... as the man said, let's hope it's a good one!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The story of how Robert Freeman came to take the iconic cover shot for The Beatles' second album, <i>With The Beatles</i>, in the Palace Court Hotel in Bournemouth has been occupying life-long Beatles fan Ken Orth, from Savannah, Georgia, USA, for some time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ken's excellent article on the subject graced the pages of <i><a href="http://www.beatlefan.com/" target="_blank">Beatlefan</a></i> magazine late last year in which he offered a some new insights into the session that produced one of the most evocative images of the 1960s. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Chief among them was the background story of Freeman's first attempt at using natural light to produce a half-shadow effect in a group portrait.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">According to Ken: 'Freeman decided to reprise a pose he had used a year earlier in photographing the principals of the prominent London-based graphic design firm Fletcher Forbes Gill (later the Pentagram design studio) for Vogue magazine. During that session he arranged his subjects in an overlapping tightly staggered pose and framed them in head shots from about shoulder height upwards. He also positioned a light source on their left, leaving the right sides of their faces inshadow. Freeman later called the resulting black and white photo his "prototype composition for With The Beatles." Looking back at this photo it's easy to see and understand his thinking.'</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As is its
way, time has afforded us 20:20 hindsight with which to view The Beatles' shows
at Bournemouth Winter Gardens on 16 November 1963. From a distance of 50 years
they are rightly seen as a significant landmark in the history of the greatest
rock 'n' roll group there ever was - the first footage shown of The Beatles on
American television was shot at the Winter Gardens where crews from all three
US TV news networks gathered to capture their first taste of Beatlemania.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But what of
the reporters on the ground on the night? How did they react to what they found
inside, outside and on stage at the theatre?</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">While everyone realised there would be some fantastic scenes at the Winter Gardens, Bournemouth on Saturday during the visit of The Beatles, no-one could have foreseen the fantastic scenes which occurred.</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Twice the hall erupted into a crescendo of sound so intense one could not hear oneself shout. At one time it appeared as if everyone in the hall were on their feet, screaming and shouting.</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Beatles went through their act seemingly unconcerned. If they had stopped playing I doubt if anyone would have noticed.</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There was an excellent support cast, particularly Peter Jay & the Jaywalkers. The Shadows, The Searchers, Freddie and the Dreamers and even The Beatles themselves - amid deafening screams - were mimicked excellently. The Vernons Girls brought a welcome touch of glamour, the Brook Brothers had a great reception, The Kestrels did well in that most difficult of all spots, just before the stars come on, and compere Frank Berry and the Rhythm and Blues Quartet kept things going with a swing.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But Frank's words were lost in the rising volume of noise which preceded The Beatles' appearance, and the next 20 minutes were almost beyond description.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Waving photos and banners, standing on seats, and screaming their heads off, the fans gave the TV cameramen something to record. Here and there, the odd member of the audience sat, seemingly unconcerned at the surrounding din. And here and there, girls sobbed uncontrollably.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The scenes at the Winter Gardens that night were unparalleled and are unlikely to be repeated until The Beatles come there again.</span></span></div>

Gardens in Bournemouth, the town’s newest dining experience opened its doors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.bournemouthrockcafe.com/" target="_blank">Bournemouth Rock Café</a> is home to a unique collection of
rock and pop memorabilia associated with nearly 60 years of music history in
the town. The Beatles Room is dedicated to the many connections that link the
Fab Four to the resort, including the Winter Gardens shows on 16 November 1963
that were filmed by American TV news crews and resulted in the first footage of
The Beatles to be shown on US television – three months before the famous Ed
Sullivan Show on February 1964.</span></div>

Not only were The Beatles in town and riding the crest of the first wave of Beatlemania, but Father Christmas chose that day to arrive at his town centre Grotto and the mighty Cherries had a home tie in the FA Cup at Dean Court. Clive Garland was a 19-year-old police constable at the time and right in the thick of it, as he remembers here...</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I joined Bournemouth Borough Police in 1961 as a cadet and was sent to the training school in Folkestone in autumn 1963, returning to Bournemouth as a Police Constable in early November 1963.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All police leave was cancelled on 16 November as not only were The Beatles back in Bournemouth, but there was the annual Father Christmas parade, Bournemouth had a home tie in the FA Cup at Dean Court and the RAC rally was due to finish in town as well.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was just back from 13 weeks of training and wasn't on the duty roster so the sergeant in the parade room at Madeira Road [police station] asked me where I wanted to go and I told him I wanted to be with The Beatles. I'd had a taste of it back in August at the Gaumont when I was being escorted round by PCs as a cadet officer before my training.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So he sent me off to the traffic office with Sergeant Nick (Noddy) Carter and Inspector Young and The Beatles were already there playing with a Scalextric set that had been sent up by [the department store] Beales. They spent the time joking and gibbing with us lot - of course, Scouse was like a new language to us Southerners!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Then about 4 o'clock they brought the Black Maria van round as that was the only vehicle we had with blacked out windows, to take them over to the Winter Gardens. There was a bit of talk about how we were going to do it as they'd heard there were thousands of fans packed around the stage door.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So they got in the back of the van and there must have been 14 or 16 of us got in after them. The instructions were to get them to the front door of the Winter Gardens. So we pulled up in front then we all leapt out, linked arms and they ran in through the front doors and straight into the theatre.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5DVBL4V49OMpScnoVlewusBUoSnC_zkQczWG_LbBXjCRAY95tDOzupourbtAcbsl_Z-6khHi_adpLE6LAN3R9YJaYhHYw5xogxnG19284kR_ytkc0BZZ_TduMwWWZHLnEPSdrn7BVLrjk/s1600/bWGpolWeb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5DVBL4V49OMpScnoVlewusBUoSnC_zkQczWG_LbBXjCRAY95tDOzupourbtAcbsl_Z-6khHi_adpLE6LAN3R9YJaYhHYw5xogxnG19284kR_ytkc0BZZ_TduMwWWZHLnEPSdrn7BVLrjk/s1600/bWGpolWeb.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our job then was to sit in the rows of seats while the musicians and roadies went through the soundcheck. During the shows - the first house was at 6.30, the second at 8.30 - we were told to stand off to one side and if the crowd surged towards the stage to come and stand between the fans and the stage. Well, of course as soon asThe Beatles came on the girls stood up and we lined up in front of the stage. The fans went wild. The jelly babies poured down on us, it was mayhem - bloody hilarious in one way, absolutely terrifying in another.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There were girls fainting all around, St John's Ambulance worked hard that night! The girls were pushing up against us all evening - I was only 19 at the time and I'd definitely made the right choice of duties!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We'd never seen anything like it. Even at football - and you got 20,000 in Dean Court for a Bournemouth match back then - we only had eight officers on duty inside the ground in those days.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I never saw the going of them from the Winter Gardens. The Beatles were off stage and out the door before anyone knew it really. I think we got out of the Winter Gardens at about 11.30 that night and had to walk back to Madeira Road to clock off at midnight, after a 12 hour shift.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was a hell of a day - great fun and I've been a Beatles fan ever since.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If anyone had been in any doubt after their summer season at the Gaumont in August, The Beatles' shows at the Winter Gardens in Bournemouth on 16 November 1963 at the height of what the <i>Daily Mirror</i> had dubbed Beatlemania just a fortnight before, confirmed their popularity as a cultural phenomenon the like of which Britain had never seen before.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Shortly before the autumn tour Brian Epstein had flown to the United States and secured a deal that would see The Beatles appear on the Ed Sullivan Show the following February. When the US news networks CBS, ABC and NBC got wind of it they dispatched reporters to find out what all the fuss was about - after all, The Beatles hadn't had even a hint of a hit Stateside at this point.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With the presence of camera crews from all three networks whose footage would introduce them to America, it was a high-pressure date for The
Beatles who were further prevented from getting to the sanctuary of their
dressing room ahead of the first show by five stowaway fans who had to be removed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The actual concerts were standard Beatles’
shows of the era. The 13th date of their autumn tour of Britain and Ireland,
they played the same ten-song set throughout. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Opening with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I Saw Her Standing There</i>, the first track on their debut album;
they followed with hit single <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">From Me To
You</i>; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">All My Loving</i>; versions of
The Miracles’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">You Really Got A Hold On Me</i>
and Chuck Berry’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Roll Over Beethoven</i>,
which were all to appear on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">With The
Beatles</i>, their second album which came out on 22 November. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Two more covers
– The Shirelles’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Boys</i> with Ringo on
lead vocals; and Meredith Wilson’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Til
There Was You</i> from the musical <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Music Man</i> – followed, before they played their smash hit <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">She Loves You</i> and ended with two classic
R&B belters, Barrett Strong’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Money
(That’s What I Want)</i> and, of course, the Isley Brothers’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twist and Shout</i>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The lovely folks at Purbeck Film Festival have asked me along to introduce a special charity screening of <i>Yellow Submarine</i> at the Rex cinema in Wareham on October 12.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">They've invited me
because of the continued local interest in <i>Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Beatles & Bournemouth</i>, particularly in the light of this year's 50th anniversaries and c</span>opies of the book will be on sale on the night, but the invite is particularly special as it means
much more to me than a simple sales event.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The first
films I saw as a kid were in the Rex – 40 years or more ago. My dad used to take my brother and me to see Saturday
matinees – Treasure Island, various Disney films, Bond, a packet of Paynes
Poppets, maybe a vanilla tub, grown ups smoking, us kids stamping our feet when
the feature started and seeing the shadow of mint imperial missiles cutting a
trail through the smoke as the big kids threw them from the seats up the back.
I loved it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was
about that time I first saw <i>Yellow Submarine</i> – sadly not on the big screen, but on the
telly. I’d seen cartoons before of course, but not like that. I’d seen films
with songs in as well, but nothing like that. <i>Yellow Submarine </i>was crackers. It wasn’t a
kids’ film, but it spoke our language, or so I thought. Mum and dad definitely
didn’t get it and there weren’t any older brothers or cousins around to ask.
So, if it wasn’t for Them, our parents, it must have been for Us, right? Yes,
but who was Us? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So anyway, I
knew The Beatles were the good guys because their voices were pretty calm –
good guys in the westerns always had calm voices – but there were these shouty,
over-anxious blue baddies with horrible yellow teeth and a vacuum cleaner beast
that the Numberjacks ripped off 40 years later and a Flying Glove and a Dog
with four heads long and flowers that turned to brambles. It’s a wonder I ever
slept again!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Yellow
Submarine itself was skippered by Old Fred, who reminded me of my Uncle Johnny who was
in the Navy – a man who sailed to sea – and he had a beard. But I
remember identifying most strongly with Jeremy, the Nowhere Man – he was a bit
chubby and very serious, thought a lot about things and brooded, but Ringo
liked him and took him along for the ride until he got kidnapped in the Sea of
Holes, which really troubled me – holes everywhere – enough to fill the Albert
Hall. Then poor Jeremy’s really in trouble, bad things happen and even as the
colour comes back to Pepperland, poor Jeremy gets it again. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Luckily though The
Beatles are on hand to save the day with their music and love – well, it was
the sixties!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hope to see some of you in the stalls.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Beatles came to Bournemouth to play!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That's right, today is the 50th anniversary of the very first Beatles' show in Bournemouth - 19 August 1963.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whoop it up, say yeah yeah yeah!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To mark the occasion a new exhibition of Beatles memorabilia related to Bournemouth has opened in town, at the Beacon Hotel on Priory Road.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Among many golden jubilee anniversaries this week, it is 50 years since George wrote his first song for The Beatles. Confined to his bedroom at the Palace Court Hotel with a heavy cold, he finally answered <i>Merseybeat</i> editor Bill Harry's nagging to write a song for the group.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Don't Bother Me</i> made it to their second album With the Beatles, complete with cover photo taken in the Palace Court dining room by Robert Freeman.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And here's the first in a what will become a regular look back into this blog's archives ... the story of <i>Don't Bother Me </i>and the infamous Alf Bicknell recording.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To mark the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ first shows in Bournemouth, on 19 August 1963 when they opened a six-day residency at the Gaumont (now the Odeon) cinema on Westover Road, a new exhibition celebrating their many connections to the town is to open.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1743977651MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1375993520711_5897" style="font-size: 16px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Beatles played more shows at the Gaumont than in any other UK theatre outside London, notching up no less than 16 shows between August 1963 and their final visit on 2 October 1964.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1743977651MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1375993520711_5899" style="font-size: 16px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The exhibition, at the <a href="http://www.beaconhotelbournemouth.co.uk/" target="_blank">Beacon Hotel</a> on Priory Road, Bournemouth, includes dozens of photos of The Beatles in Bournemouth, as well as posters, handbills, reviews and programmes from the group’s four visits to the town.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1743977651MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1375993520711_5902" style="font-size: 16px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1375993520711_5901" lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There are various other photos from Robert Freeman’s photo shoot of the boys at the Palace Court Hotel on Westover Road that produced the iconic half-shadow sleeve shot for their second album, <i>With The Beatles</i>.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv1743977651MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1375993520711_5908" style="font-size: 16px;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The ill-tempered night The Kinks opened for The Beatles at Bournemouth Gaumont - a one-off show on 2 August 1964 - has gone down in the annals of rock history thanks largely to Kinks' frontman Ray Davies' lengthy description of the backstage shenanigans in his superbly written autobiography, <i>X-Ray</i>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He remembers lining up with The Kinks behind the curtain and hearing the crowd baying for his band while John Lennon and Paul McCartney tried to intimidate him and the band. What's more he say the audience screamed louder for his band than for The Beatles that night and for the second show they were moved to a different spot, closing the first half of the show, to prevent them overshadowing The Beatles.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There are lots of stories to counter those claims - not least an attempted stage invasion during The Beatles' set - but Ray's recollection gains a little extra weight in the light of comments made recently by his guitarist brother Dave (pictured) in an <a href="http://www.rockcellarmagazine.com/2013/06/27/dave-davies-the-kinks-interview-i-will-be-me/" target="_blank">interview</a> with <i>Rock Cellar</i> magazine. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">interviewer suggests The Kinks actually went on </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>after</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The Beatles - a claim that's highly unlikely and one that was never suggested during research for the book </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Yeah Yeah Yeah: </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>The Beatles & Bournemouth</i>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dave replies: "The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, worked it out that way. He wanted us to go on after
them. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"What </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">happened is a year before we played before The Beatles at Liverpool Empire, I
think, and they couldn’t get us off the stage.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">"So I think
with Brian arranging it for us going on after the Beatles at that show in
Bournemouth was his way of showing us who the boss was. I mean, you try and
follow-up The Beatles, but we thought we could. Epstein had that sort of humour."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The truth? Well, perhaps there are times it shouldn't get in the way of a good story - and, unlike his brother, Dave certainly doesn't suggest The Kinks blew The Beatles off stage.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">John Lennon's signature on a receipt for the delivery of some furniture to Mimi's house at Sandbanks in what looks like March 1967.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It would certainly tie in with John's visit to see Mimi when the two of them were photographed with Julian at Sandbanks ferry, as seen in this <i>Dorset</i> magazine cover.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3gUACmCopU5piZRB3FTYgrzwMcOUHJSufAE8RS-j4k0M0elMXbQDI5nI2ihKKHJ2npHsz6t6Vs-p-BeErRtpzatWe8iUscgrG4k6Lb0N775BAZA2oP1eqWP93HIDSs_PwGgoV2rON17hk/s1600/bDorsetColSmlCopy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3gUACmCopU5piZRB3FTYgrzwMcOUHJSufAE8RS-j4k0M0elMXbQDI5nI2ihKKHJ2npHsz6t6Vs-p-BeErRtpzatWe8iUscgrG4k6Lb0N775BAZA2oP1eqWP93HIDSs_PwGgoV2rON17hk/s200/bDorsetColSmlCopy.jpg" width="141" /></span></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">John is wearing the Afghan he wore at the press launch of <i>Sgt Pepper</i> at Brian Epstein's house on May 19, but everyone in the photo appears to be dressed for March rather than May.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It seems the boys had a few days off following the session at Abbey Road on 23 March to record more vocals for <i>Getting Better</i> and a session on 28 March at which John had his first crack at the lead vocal for <i>Good Morning Good Morning</i>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mimi obviously had an account at Beales and Bealesons - the receipt indicates it has been made up to 24 February 1967, still further evidence that the almost entirely illegible delivery stamps indicate March rather than May.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And, of course, it's impossible to resist the obvious similarities between the Beales name and that of the group in which her nephew had earned the money to buy her home. (Bealesons was previously a draper's store in Commercial Road, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bournemouth that Beales' founder, John Elmes Beale bought from a Mr Okey after World War One. It's now The Avenue shopping centre.)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>It was the summer of 1965 when John Lennon decided to get his beloved Aunt Mimi out of Liverpool and away from the fans that besieged the home in Menlove Avenue where he had spent most of his childhood.</b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Earlier that year The Beatles had recorded songs such as <i>Help!</i> and <i>Ticket To Ride</i>, in which John appears to be confronting the reality of his fame.

He's glaring at a cameraman who's presence is unexplained, although it might be the local TV press that Mimi referred to in an interview not long after John's death in which she blames the ferryman for tipping off the press who interrupted a private visit.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #454545; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After
releasing his solo album <i>McCartney</i> in
1970 and the following year’s <i>Ram</i>
with Linda, Paul and his wife recruited former Moody Blues guitarist Denny
Laine and drummer Danny Seiwell to form Wings. <i>Wild Life</i>, their first album, flopped but the follow up, <i>Red Rose Speedway</i> – and the commission
to write the title song for the new James Bond film, <i>Live and Let Die</i> – re-established them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With the
line up augmented by guitarist Henry McCullough, the ensuing tour brought
McCartney back to Bournemouth to play the Winter Gardens on 15 May 1973. He was
the first – and, until 2011 when Ringo played the BIC, only – former Beatle to
perform in the town. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The tour was a success and did much to restore McCartney’s
critical standing, giving him the foundation for Wings’ defining moment, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Band On The Run</i>, released that December.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As ever in
all things Beatles-related there are many more who know much more than your
humble narrator and I again bow to the greater depth of knowledge and insight
of the one they call Happy Nat at <a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com/">www.thebeatlesrarity.com</a>
…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“Paul chose to limit his band’s live performances to
his home continent during these [early] years and play smaller venues such as
universities and town halls, allowing time to build up Wings and make a name
for themselves by getting at least a couple hit albums under their belts before
attempting anything on a larger scale. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">He certainly did not want to rely on his clout as a
former Beatle to sell Wings to the world and refused to include any Beatles
music in any of the concert set lists of 1972-1973. It wasn’t until after the
highly successful fourth Wings album <i>Venus And Mars</i> that Wings toured
outside of Europe with a short Australian tour that included seven shows over
the first two weeks of November 1975. It wasn’t until 1976 when Wings peppered
the set list with songs from their newest <i>Wings At The Speed Of Sound</i>
album and did a full fledged North American/ European world tour, which yielded
the only live Wings album.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(l-r) Howie Casey, Lou Walters (and friend), sometime second vocalist Freddie Fowell (later known as Freddie Starr),
Brian ‘Griff ’ Griffiths, Derry Wilkie, Frank Wibberly</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Without the groundwork laid by musicians such as Howie Casey there wouldn't have been a beat scene in Liverpool in the early 1960s from which The Beatles could spring. Howie and others like him fell in love with R&B and swamped the clubs and dance halls with the sounds and songs of Little Richard and Chuck Berry. It wasn't long before Howie and his band, The Seniors, acted as vanguard for the Merseybeat bands and blazed a trail to Hamburg. Having first encountered the (then drummer-less) Silver Beetles in Liverpool and not been impressed Howie was shocked to hear they were also heading for Hamburg and worried in case their youthful incompetence spoiled the gig for the older hands.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">But this was The Beatles and they were on their way. Not that Howie was averse to pulling rank on the young upstarts of course... he had the best gig (the Kaiserkeller) and got to sleep on an actual bed, using a Union Jack as a bedspread!</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Howie has lived in Bournemouth since the late 1970s and shares his story in <i>Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Beatles & Bournemouth</i>.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's adapted here and the second part goes a bit like this...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Beatles (they dropped the ‘Silver’ and adopted the new
spelling just before leaving for Hamburg in August) had a booking at the Indra
Club, close to the Kaiserkeller. With drummer Pete Best recruited just a few
days before they left home and John’s art school mate Stu Sutcliffe on bass,
The Beatles were still a five-piece – John, Paul and George all played guitar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Their repertoire, like that of The Seniors, was mainly rock
’n’ roll standards with a few show tunes, cabaret standards and instrumentals
thrown in. John Lennon later recalled songs had to be extended to fulfil the
contracted set times.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“Every song lasted 20 minutes and had 20 solos in it. That’s
what improved the playing. There was nobody to copy from. We played what we
liked best and the Germans liked it as long as it was loud.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When Bruno Koschmider, who controlled the Kaiserkeller and
the Indra, decided he wanted non-stop music The Beatles and The Seniors used to
swap members to give each other a bit of a rest.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“We had this idea to split the bands up so I played with a
German drummer, our keyboardist Stan Foster, our singer Derry Wilkie and Stu
Sutcliffe on bass. The rest of The Seniors played when we were off stage and
the other four Beatles were doing shifts down at the Indra,” says Howie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“But then we would all mix in together and jam with each
other. In between sets we would sit and drink together and talk over our
ambitions. We were all pretty much the same in that we wanted to make our
living out of music. Like us, The Beatles had that confidence that youth gives
you.</span></span></div>

the Cavern, or The Beatles would, and then we’d go down the road and chat. But
I don’t know to what extent we knew each other – it was just we were in the
same game, trying to make our way. I was closer with the others than with John.
I always felt he had his own agenda. Whereas the others were more sociable,
John was always a bit stand-offish.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

with defining The Beatles’ early stage image by cutting their hair in the

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This week in 1969, John and Paul recorded what was to be The Beatles' final number one single, <i>The Ballad of John and Yoko</i>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The song chronicles the events of 16 March to 1 April and covers John's marriage to Yoko, an episode that began in the car en route to Aunt Mimi's home at Sandbanks that John had bought for her four years earlier.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He called it "the most beautiful place I know" and had visited many times, initially with Cynthia and baby Julian, but also on his own and with Yoko.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Stories continue to circulate locally that John made a couple of clandestine visits to see Mimi after his departure for New York with Yoko in 1971. If he did return to the UK during that time he managed to keep it very quite. It seems impossible to imagine that, even when he was keeping a low profile following Sean's birth in 1975, he could have flown into the country and not been reported or photographed anywhere.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It could be possible that be arrived by boat, perhaps at Poole, or even Southampton - in a reverse of the events related in <i>The Ballad of John and Yoko</i> - but, again, could John Lennon, famous ex-Beatle, have enjoyed a quick visit by the shores of Poole Harbour without being noticed?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's an on-going inquiry...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What is known about John and Mimi at Sandbanks - and some photos - is contained in <i>Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Beatles & Bournemouth</i>, which can be ordered <a href="http://www.natula.co.uk/BournemouthBeatles.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
