At lunchtime on January 10th 1969, George Harrison walked out of Twickenham film studios and out on his band mates. As he left his parting words were, ‘I’ll see you in the clubs’.
The Beatles January 1969 ‘Get Back’ sessions were all about throwing aside the excesses of ‘Sgt. Pepper’ and getting back to a more basic sound which would allow them to play live together as a group. Just as they had in the Cavern.
In this episode of Fixing a Hole we take a look at the five-year period between 1957 and 1962 when John, Paul, George and Ringo’s served their apprenticeship in the dance halls and clubs of Merseyside and Hamburg and discover what audio and visual recordings of this important era in the groups development have survived.
If you’re a Beatles fan or just love music we’d love to hear from you.
