I was delighted to see @marklewisohn.bsky.social , @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and Tony Palmer discussing the Beatles this evening at Chiswick House. Tony had some strong opinions but was very entertaining. He shared anecdotes about John Lennon that I'd never heard before.

I love Lord Woodbine and his part in Beatles history, but let's not present false narratives about him. #Beatles

www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j... The Beatles knew Lord Woodbine and Lord Woodbine knew them – but the truth should be kept in view and biased agendas avoided when presenting works of history. Swimming against the tide, here's eight minutes to set the record straight. WATCH youtu.be/0hEI9WPgUtU

On the day Sky bought ITV, which can't be right, farewell to brilliant Granada filmmaker Leslie Woodhead. In 1962 he made the priceless film of the Beatles in the Cavern, the look of which, he told me in 2003, was like 'something smuggled out of Eastern Europe.’ www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Interesting – I've not noticed this before. You could be right. John was no football fan, and I don't think he ever publicly mentioned England's World Cup victory, but maybe someone gave him the charm and he felt like hanging it there.

Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.

In Tune In I quoted a 1960 Paul McCartney letter declaring that the Beatals (yes) had ‘competence, confidence & continuity’ … and just today I’ve found that Paul nicked it from a Midland Bank cheque book, Competence–Continuity–Confidence being printed on the inside back cover. Great nicking, Paul!
