What If The Beatles ….

The Beatles What If
The Beatles What If

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU ASKED – BUT WHAT IF?

As Beatles fans, we often find ourselves speculating about Beatles history and asking, yes, but What If…….

  • What if John and Paul did not meet?
  • What if The Beatles didn’t go to Hamburg?
  • What if they didn’t meet Brian Epstein?
  • What if they didn’t meet George Martin and work with him?
  • What if The Beatles didn’t break up in 1970?

Now, in one book, all of those questions have been asked, and potential answers given, for what would or could have happened.

Through over 70 different key moments in Beatles history, David Bedford and Andrew Phillips have examined these key moments and, using their knowledge and research, give their opinion as to what the outcome might have been.

Through these scenarios, you will gain a better understanding of Beatles history in a new way, and also start some great discussions too.

Her latest work in the series (at the time of this episode) is ‘Some Forever | Shades of Life Part Two (Volume 5.1)’, moving through the late end of 1965 into the early period of 1966.

I have long been aware of Jude and her work, so sitting and speaking here was a real highlight for me in the series. I hope you get as much out of listening to her insights, her process, as I most certainly did.

Let’s get talking with Jude Southerland Kessler.

We all know how important those long hard nights endured by The Beatles in Hamburg  were to the whole Beatles story and to their success. Now for the very first time, you can hear all 4 Nights that were recorded in 1962 on that last trip to Hamburg, before they returned to England and begun their march onto the rest of the world.

FIRST TIME EVER

Recorded at the Star Club in Hamburg, the tapes have never been heard in their full delivery, that is until now!!

This brand new package has for the first time all four nights together and complete and in the order to which they were played during that historic time!!

THE BOX SET

The Beatles Star Club Tapes - Remastered
The Beatles Star Club Tapes – Remastered

All this comes together in a simply beautiful package, that shows care and ever so careful consideration to The Beatles Legacy. They are in fact a wonder to behold. Those who saw the band on  any of those 4 historic nights were left with a memory that was about to change the world. With the passage of time, those memories have dimmed into folk lore, but now they have been brought back to life ready for the ears of the world to listen and feel what it was like to see and hear The Beatles working live in a small intimate club. Stuff like this is born into legend, and now the Legend can be heard in a complete and earth shattering experience. This is never to be heard in this form again!!

Why, because it is new, clear, vibrant and completely uncluttered and so full of energy. This is what The lads were all about. It may have been 56 years ago, but hearing them play like this will make that passage of time dissolve in an instant, and one is back there again, feeling that ever so special experience, that is now dipped into 25 carat gold!!

Step Inside No. 3 – An Exclusive Celebration of The Beatles

Future Radio in Norwich is inviting Beatles fans to take a trip down memory lane with Inside No. 3, which is a brand-new audio and visual presentation that’s set to transport you back to a time, when not only the world was different, but when British art and culture ruled the world, or so it seemed. The music world was centred around No 3 Savile Row, London which was the headquarters of Apple the musical arts foundation set up by The Beatles. 

Taking place at the Orangery, located within Carrow House, on Saturday 7th March this unique event is hosted by Future Radio’s Groove Britain presenter, Nigel, whose passion for The Beatles and deep knowledge of their history will guide audiences through the evening. This immersive journey explores the creativity and cultural impact that made The Beatles a phenomenon. From the early days in Liverpool to the heights of global fame, audiences will be guided through the moments that defined a generation.  

Ex BBC and USA and Canada Radio Personality Alan Thompson is also now joining the proceedings to add an extra level to the event

Tickets are on sale now at: futureradio.co.uk/events  www.futureradio.co.uk/events

Inside No. 3 is being held in aid of Future Projects, a Norwich-based charity dedicated to transforming lives and building stronger communities. Future Projects works to support people facing disadvantage through education, wellbeing, and community development programmes. By attending this event, guests will contribute directly to the life-changing work Future Projects delivers across Norwich and beyond, as all monies are to be headed into this direction. 

Host, Nigel Pearce said “Inside No.3 is about more than music, it’s about connection. The Beatles changed the world with their songs, but also with their spirit of creativity and togetherness. This event is our way of inviting people to step inside that world and feel the joy it continues to bring.” 

 Inside Number Three – The Book – Latest Update!!

Please also accept my personal apologies for anyone who has experienced delays and frustration in ordering Inside No3 the book.

This has been down totally to demand for the publication. On Wednesday 14/01/2026 I personally met with the publisher and signed a further 110 copies of Inside No3 from the fourth print run of the release. Whilst this does not ease your frustration to those who have ordered the book, – I do hope that you understand a little better. 

These personally signed books are now being sent to the packing and distribution centre for onward sending to customers. The company which publishes the book has also undergone re-organisation to better cope with this and other publications it has within house, and that all orders will be despatched as soon as possible – thank you for your understanding in this matter
