This has signs round it for so long suggesting that luxury apartments are coming soon. Clearly an overreaching developer who is now selling it on.

Well well well. What’s got four thumbs and just recorded its next episode? And boy it’s a long one. (Not the thumbs)

This said, my setup can be a bit funny and I think they seem to have got a bit bolder as the record has gone along (Rubber Soul of course!) and If I Needed Someone is great!

This slavish adherence to Dolby Atmos as the primary surround format is driving me mad. Apply some of those 5.1 rules! Stick a whole guitar in the back left, split a harmony vocal around the room. Get the drums behind me, cowards!

I, Paul, haven’t listened to the Rubber Soul boxset yet. Thought I better dress for the occasion.

I (P) have a very soft spot for this album. It's amazing how you can feel the whole 'McCartney' of it absolutely bursting at the seams of it in the closing section, Celebration. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy_5...

Mendips has been put back together, as it were, after the current round of filming for the Beatles Biopics. Looking lovely with the Blue Suburban Sky.

Photograph from outside of Mendips, John Lennon’s home with Aunt Mimi. Blue sky, a touch of cloud. Trees surrounding the framing of the photo.

Counterpoint: not using a num pad on a keyboard is insane and keyboards without them are a travesty.

Always fun to hear our ol' pal Morgan recontextulise artists, songs and sounds in these videos. Another great one here. Lulu with the Experience?!? (All instruments played by Morgan, *NO* genAI at all.)

His performance closing the Concert for George is a heartbreakingly beautiful thing. A great musician, Joe Brown!

I've not been able to find a specific set-list for this run of shows (plus I'm not near my books!) but he recalls them playing I Remember You, which would have just about been beginning its run at the top of the charts.

I love meeting people who saw The Beatles, especially if it's pre-1964. Apparently his friend suggested they go because "there's a good group, The Beatles, on" rather than going because it was a Joe Brown show.

I met someone yesterday who was at the Beatles show (technically the Joe Brown show) in Cambridge Hall, Southport on 26th July 1962. A fascinating time for the band as they stood on the cusp of an important change and the proper start of their recording career!

Poster advertising a show at Cambridge Hall, Lord Street Soutport. In big blocky letters at the top we see it's the Joe Brown show with his 'bruvvers' co-starring The Beatles. Then follows the remaining line-up and times/ticket prices. It's described as Southports BIG Event.

I (Paul) am and I don't put much stock in the paparazzi snapped photos - post production is a powerful thing! I have a fascination with music biopics (it was my Masters dissertation after all) and there'll never be any as high profile as these!

Big Beatles & Sixties Sort Out Podcast @bigsort.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Honestly, this is an event I'd put into the biopics. If you want to illustrate the burgeoning career at this period, get a scene where they're stuck on a special stage, inside a steel cage, then be forced to shake hands/hug/sign autographs for what could have been an infinite-loop queue.

On 19th March 1964 at the BBC Television Theatre (Shepherd’s Bush Green) the Beatles recorded an insert for Top of The Pops. They performed ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ and ‘You Can’t Do That’. Alec Bray was ...

Couldn't resist looking up the temperature in Tenerife in the April/May of 1963. Highs of about 24°C. All the photos show them with long-sleeve shirts on, which is sensible in a pre-good-sunscreen era, but also weird. Anyway, in all the photos from then Astrid looks f'ing cool. What an icon.

My theory is that… Beatles should never have been featured characters. Glimpsed, seen in the distance, etc. Make more room for Brian and others.

I got to the swimming baths and the in house radio was playing "My Sweet Lord". I've just exited them and it's "Blackbird". Is BIG BEATLE taking over our public baths? Or is it just an excuse to post Beatles / swimming title puns? YOU DECIDE.
