Book
Notes From the back cover: In May 1960 Johnny Gentle, a pop star from the same agency as Billy Fury and Marty Wilde, was sent up to North East Scotland by his manager Larry Parnes to do a one week tour of dance halls. To back him Parnes had hired five youngsters from Liverpool who had very little experience but buckets of enthusiasm. The hireling musicians were called The Beatles and this book is about that tour. The Beatles became the most famous, most adored, most copied and most quoted rock band in the history of popular music. But in May 1960 they were almost fired on the first night of their first tour. Only three people alive can tell the story of the Scottish tour - now one of them has in a truly entertaining way. You won't be able to put down Johnny Gentle & The Beatles until you have turned the last page! "It was an important period for solidifying the band and getting our relationships strong with each other. It gave us the reality of what it could be like and I suppose it prepared us for what was to come. We loved it and it was invaluable experience for us." Paul McCartney 1996 For more about the book and Johnny Gentle see: Johnny Gentle & The Beatles by Bill Harry Long out of print, this is now available as a Kindle Edition - see here. Images
