Description: |
From the day The Beatles arrived in Dublin at the height of Beatlemania in 1963, the Fab Four never hid their love for Ireland. This is not a music biography but simply details every connection The Beatles have with Ireland, from their family trees to their concerts and the many visits they've made. This is the legacy for Ireland of The Beatles. |
Synopsis: |
From the day the Beatles arrived in Dublin in 1963 at the height of Beatlemania and Paul McCartney announced 'it's great to be home', the Fab Four never hid their love for Ireland. They played two further gigs in Belfast within the year; John had bought an island off the Mayo coast by the end of that decade; and in the 1970s John and Paul were writing songs about the troubled events in Northern Ireland. Yet there has never been a book about their Irish connections. Now, 45 years on from the famous Adelphi concert, two lifelong Beatles fans have put together a comprehensive guide detailing every connection the Beatles have with Ireland, from their family trees to their concerts and the many visits across the Irish Sea. From George's family originating in County Wexford to Paul choosing Castle Leslie in Monaghan for his wedding to Heather Mills, it's all here. Previously unpublished photographs enhance the exclusive interviews, fifteen years of research and firsthand accounts by people that spent time with the four young men who produced music that is unique and timeless.Containing prime Irish Beatle locations, an Irish charts discography, the Irish fan club, and a detailed list of Beatles-related programmes on Irish radio and TV over the years including their hilarious interview with Frank Hall in 1963 as well as other interviews with Eamonn Andrews, Gay Byrne, B. P. Fallon and Bob Geldof. This is a must-have book for every Beatles fan. |
