My Father was the Promoter of the Denver leg of the Beatles’ ’64 tour

I’ve seen and heard numerous stories about “did it sell out?”, “were oxygen tanks used?” on and on…Well, I was there backstage, and at the age of six, I remember it quite well. Author Chuck Gunderson sets the record straight on almost everything regarding the Denver stop. I’ve read a lot of Beatles books over the years, and this one gets it right – he uses empirical evidence and confirms his sources. No speculation here, just the facts. Each city is a wealth of information about the Beatles and the cities themselves in regards to how they handled the Beatlemania invasion. 

This this is the king of all Beatle books related to touring in the U.S. and Canada.

This book is not to be missed by any Beatleholic!” -Brad Byers

How Leslie Cavendish became hairdresser to The Beatles

The Beatles were performing at Wembley at the NME Poll winners awards in the afternoon on April 21st 1963 .

I  had my tickets to go to the Pigalle Club in the evening where the Beatles were going to come on stage at 10pm in front of 150 mainly Jewish people and it was known as a JEW DO!,I was 16years old.

How did I know that in 3 years time I would become THE BEATLES HAIRDRESSER
