Beatles News
Beatles Gear is a landmark book that details exactly which guitars, drums, amplifiers and keyboards The Beatles used at key points during their career.
The book was even used as the official technical reference book for Beatles Rock Band, and its author, musician Andy Babiuk, was the official technical consultant to the game.
The book follows the band, from a gear perspective, from the formation of the Quarry Men in the 1950s to the dissolution of the Beatles in 1970. It provides a fresh insight into Beatles history from a new viewpoint. Along the way, many myths are exploded and dozens of stories told for the first time.

At a young age, Mary McCartney was introduced to the world of vegetarianism by her mother, Linda McCartney. Her father is Paul McCartney (yes, that one) and according to her recently published cookbook, “Food: Vegetarian Home Cooking,” he played a role in spurring her love of vegetarian food in particular.
McCartney says she is a photographer, not a professional cook, and her book is filled with her beautiful photographs of the dishes she lovingly creates.
She spoke with us about vegetarian cooking.
When did you first fall in love with food? Growing up watching my mother cooking was a magical process. The smells that would drift in from the kitchen were tantalizing. I always loved it when my mum would bake banana bread. Yum.
Why is healthy, vegetarian food important to you? I love food that tastes satisfying but also has a sense of indulgence. I love creating meals that have great health values and are really tasty.

AS a keen photographer there was no surprise that he spent so much of his time on the Rock snapping away.
But sadly Julian Lennon only had five hours to best conjure up his own image of the fascinating enclave where he currently has an exhibition running on his father John Lennon’s life.
At a gala lunch with First Minister Fabian Picardo at the top of the Rock in Monte Calpe Suites, he told Olive Press editor Jon Clarke, how much he had enjoyed the visit.
“It’s an amazing place and I definitely need to come back to appreciate it,” he said.
“You really feel on top of the world up here.”
Arriving by private jet, he spent five hours touring the enclave before taking a quick visit of the Beatles Memorabilia exhibition, which was put together with his mother Cynthia.

Fifty years on from the height of Beatlemania, it continues to generate fascination — as much as, or perhaps even more so, than the Fab Four’s actual music, heretical though that sounds. Three of the four upcoming movies inspired by the Beatles’ global domination of pop culture in the mid-1960s are fan-related.
The first to appear will be “Good Ol’ Freda,” a probable late summer release from Magnolia Pictures. Ryan White’s documentary, which was mostly Kickstarter-funded and premiered at the SXSW festival in March, looks at the Beatles through the eyes of Freda Kelly.
A shy regular at the Beatles’ legendary lunchtime gigs at the Cavern Club on Mathew Street in Liverpool, Kelly became the group’s secretary when she was 17. She lasted 11 years in the job, a year longer than they stayed together, and also ran their fan club.
It's going to be hard to top the birthday present a fan named Charlotte got on her 17th birthday Thursday from Paul McCartney at his concert last night at BOK Center in Tulsa.
According to the BOK Center Twitter account, McCartney gave a birthday shout to the young fan, who'd brought a sign to the show, birthday wishes. “@PaulMcCartney just gave a birthday shout out to a girl in the crowd named Charlotte. Happy 17th Charlotte! Your sign paid off!,” the center Tweeted.
He later dedicated a song to her. “#nowplaying 'I Saw Her Standing There' - dedicated to Charlotte, the bday girl in the crowd who turned 17 today! #HappyBirthday,” the center said in a later Tweet.

Decades after his death, John Lennon continues to inspire us with his music and loving spirit. A special line of eyewear takes its inspiration from Lennon's signature specs and it raises the bar by helping people in need.
Adlens' John Lennon Collection was created in partnership with Lennon's estate. It offers a variety of round frames and colored lenses for a reasonable price.
So what makes it unique? Adlens uses fascinating "fluid-injection lens technology" that enables owners to create their own prescriptions in less than a minute. This can be life-changing for people in countries where citizens don't have access to proper eye care.

A Beatles-themed Yellow Submarine car is set to catch the eye in the return of what's billed as the world's wackiest road race.
The Red Bull Soapbox Race is back this year after a nine-year break, and Londoner Carl White is hoping to make a mark with his yellow submarine design.
Today Carl was test driving the car around some of London's most famous landmarks, including Westminster and Abbey Road.
Other vehicles taking part in the event at the capital's Alexandra Palace venue will include a soapbox-sized loaf of bread and, in a nod to Elvis Presley, a replica of a blue suede shoe.

“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” — The Beatles, “The End”
TULSA — Well before the end, it was clear that Sir Paul McCartney was taking and making plenty of love at the BOK Center Thursday night.
Whether he was conjuring romance with his tender new ballad “My Valentine,” pulling out all the stops on a rowdy Beatles classic like “Back in the U.S.S.R.” or sending one out to the Wings fans, baby, we were amazed. No maybe about it.
In honor of the venue’s fifth anniversary, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, 70, played two consecutive hit-filled nights at the Tulsa arena. As with Wednesday’s concert, Thursday’s stop on the music icon’s “Out There Tour” was a sellout.
