The conclusion of my talk with renowned Beatles author David Bedford recorded in Liverpool in July. David and I continue the Pete Best vs Ringo Starr drumming discussion as well as more details from David’s books (including his detective novel!). David also attempts to explain the complex legal shenanigans around the Beatles’ initial management contract and the ‘sacking’ of Pete Best. This episode also includes some fantastic clips of drummer Darin Murphy demonstrating and detailing the drumming styles of Pete and Ringo, originally featured on the recommended podcast 'When They Was Fab'.

Enjoy!
