Review of 2023

You boy! What day is it? Ending the year in the NIR log cabin looking back at 2023 - our fifth annual review. Did anything to do with the Beatles happen this year? That’s right, the third anniversary of McCartney III. Oh, and a little tune called Now & Then. Includes a special Christmas guest!

Bonus blurb. 

16 Songs of 1966: No.17: Pantomime Everywhere It’s Christmas

In 1966 there was a 17th song - the only thing heard from the Beatles between Revolver and Strawberry Fields Forever. For their annual Christmas fan club disc instead of the usual thank yous, they produced a collection of music and sketches. Like Revolver and Strawberry Fields, it showed where they’d been, and where they were going.

The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame

1988 was an unusual time: The biggest Beatle was George, rock stars were dealing with the unthinkable (their forties),

people were paying attention to Mike Love, and the rebellion of rock & roll had been replaced by a gentlemen’s club.

Live at the Roundhouse - Part Two

In December 1968, Michael Lindsay-Hogg directed a TV special where the kings of British rock gathered to play their new material. 

Unfortunately, it was with the Rolling Stones. Whither The Roundhouse? What happened next and what could have happened?

Live at the Roundhouse - Part One

After filming the Hey Jude promo, and in the midst of recording the White Album, somehow The Beatles decide to eye up a return to the stage in the heart of London. So where should that be, and how will they pull it off?

In 1991, when so many acts from the 60s were lucratively touring, George Harrison decided to dip his toes in the water.

Why? Money. Where? Japan. Who? Clapton. What…could possibly go wrong?

The plan for a quick live-in-the-studio album gradually morphs into something more 80s, more produced. Hello to Hugh Padgham. Warning: Contains Spies Like Us.
