HUNTER DAVIES The Beatles, Me and Everyone Else

HUNTER DAVIES: The Beatles, Me and Everyone Else Sunday 29^th 17:45-19:30.    £19/£12/£8.00

Back by popular demand, Hunter Davies, the only authorised biographer of the Beatles, will this time talk about many of the other people he has worked with in a writing career of over 70 years. Hunter has written over 100 books including helping ghost the autobiographies of Paul Gascogne, John Prescott and Wayne Rooney. He was instrumental when editor of the women’s pages of the Sunday Times in helping the career of Jilly Cooper and was also married to the hugely successful novelist Margaret Forster for 56 years. His latest book ‘Get Back’ tells the story of the early years of the Beatles and he will no doubt talk about the three years he spent from 1966-1969, shadowing them, interviewing them and their families. He was the only person during this period allowed, by Brian Epstein, to write about them. However, this is also a rare opportunity to also hear about the rest of Hunter’s colourful life, and audience members will be able to ask questions and get books signed afterwards. (We will ensure we have plenty of books!)

We will also show a short 10 minute film of Hunter and Paul MacCartney on holiday from his private archive.
