Not a fan of them, they probably came out In the right era to why there so famous but I don't mind taking pics of the related places for my hobby.

Somes photos of the Beatles Week 2006:

I would like to take a pic of Arnold Grove but after reading Gnomies Posts I feel put off a little bit.

Somes photos more:

Hahah most people would wave or but fingers up to people on the Magical Mystery bus.

I would like to take a pic of Arnold Grove but after reading Gnomies Posts I feel put off a little bit.

Why? Go there if its possible!!

Nah could go there like, It's just what he mentioned In this post.

The lady opened her door to find workmen just putting it up. nobody had informed her. i dont blame her for getting mad.

When i lived there yes it was good to have the Beatle thing but sometimes it was too much. its a tiny road and in the summer you could get 6 visits by the Beatle bus as well as people turning up on there own all day long. If my missus was going out and the crowd was there she would wait till they left as the road would be full and she did not like it.

I was once coming home and saw the lady from George`s house around the corner with bags of shopping. the road was full and she said she did not like going into her house when it was like that. thats not fair. she bought the house a long time before all the tours started. she is a very nice woman.

at times it could miff me off. must be 10 times worse for her.

was once sitting on me step when they all turned up, an American commented " I cant believe people used to live in these tiny houses " my reply was " what do you think i am, a bloomin actor? " but it had its fun times too.
it was an experience living there.

U are the Wave of Wavertree? :PDT_Xtremez_42:

Only the Lloyds TSB pic Is Wavertree On that post.

Nah could go there like, It's just what he mentioned In this post.


Maxie,Just take a stroll up the entry opposite the Abbyss computer shop,
Honest Im not kiddin yer..All the Beatle fan stuff has long died down and the street is always empty.

Went past It briefly today, Is empty like you said.

I just Ignore people anyway In general when they try to talk to me and sometimes I give them a cold stare, soI'll get a pic of It on my next Wavertree update.

Next Update will be Toxteth though as I want the Ringo one In Madryn before it's taken down.

Thank you Kev..Boss...

Tell Mrs Kev I had a great night mate..Smashing girl yerv'e got there Lad.

I used to go to Quarry Bank which Is now Calderstones.

I remember that exact Hallyway on the 1st floor where Chris Is standing.:PDT_Xtremez_42:

There wasn't railings outside the side of the quarry bank wing before I left though. There'd be teachers telling kids to get off that grass.

They fixed up most of the school when I left though.

Hello Maxie Lad..Not sure how long the railings have been there but its recent I think.

Noticed part of the Quarry Bank building at the side were the back end on that pic has a new redish wall too with new door.

Calderstones Is a school of evil.:eek:

Think my half brother went to Dovedale.

So the teacher's were a bit strict I gather then Max..

They were more stupid than strict.

Hi Gerard

I'm assuming he was on a telly programme after I left England in 1968 -- obviously he is young so he was probably on in the last ten or so years, right? And in the last few decades I have only a slight knowledge of what has been on TV over there. So you'll have to tell me, mate.

Chris

The man on the right is a dead-ringer for 'whispering' Bob Harris, from The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Chris

He's a Scouser so I'm told Chris..I think his 1st name is Neil
And he has a leading role in one of the most popular series on the telly
Lets let it go for a bit and see if anyone knows
It wont last long this one ....it is dead easy.

What about the other "Superstar"..
Still haven't spotted the Legend then mate ?

He's from a Music show years and years ago
I walked up to him when he arrived when it was a bit empty.
In my own style as I would ??.
"Ehhhh..I'd know that gob anywhere"
And he was brilliant...a lovely fella
A Clue..His voice is even better in real life
I think Ged will get that one.

Great photos Gerard ,another Yo exclusive :PDT_Piratz_26:

There was a Music festival and I didn't know!

:eek::eek::eek:

They had advertisments for alot of events In Woolton but none outside of Woolton! Even Lark Lane advertised some event In Woolton by the old Duck Pond.

Some Humans need brain repairing.

By the way Ged..that problem with me puter I told you about..
Its playing up again..Exactly like before about 6 weeks ago when I had to send it back for repair..
I've had to switch everything off and re-boot twice this morning.
This happened last time so it looks to me the problem is still there and it has not been repaired properly.
So if I disappear again for another 2 weeks then don't worry..I'll be back :hug:

Sorry to hear about your recurring computer problems, Gerard, lad. Hope you can get things permanently sorted soon. Good luck as well with your Liverpool Beatles sites DVD. :PDT11

I'm back in Canada so I could watch the DVD Gerard made of our Beatles tour at last! Wow! This is a boss DVD!!:PDT11 Everything is so professional and the music fits perfectly with the pictures. And he took so many photos that there are some I didn't know he was photographying us. There are divided by themes: Strawberry Fields, Beatles places around Liverpool, Beatles homes and my own pictures.

The tour lasted 7 hours and I can't imagine how long it took to make that great DVD! I can tell you that Gerard is the best Beatles guide and he's got the scouse accent so I was more than pleased. Thanks Gerard for letting me recording you! You're very generous and I'll never forget that boss tour and the fun I had with the swings at Strawberry Fields.

Geneviève:PDT_Aliboronz_11:

Genevieve,
I have copied your message and emailed it to Gerard, it is probably the best way to contact him at the moment.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Is Gerard banned or something?

Anyway, sounds like you've made one or two ladies happy.

But it gave me a good impression also of the city, actually it was like a city tour aswell, 'cause we were running all over Liverpool. Well I think we had a boss day out there and I'd really like to thank Gerard again for what he did for us

Well Gen I guess your definitely right when you're saying that we wanna come back to Liverpool. I hope I can make it for february.

Cheers, mate

Here, there and everywhere
By Gavin Stamp
Business reporter, BBC News, Liverpool

More than 40 years after the last performance in their home city, the Beatles remain as ubiquitous as ever in Liverpool.

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44264000/jpg/_44264406_beatlesjigsaw203jpg.jpg
The Beatles are a vital part of
Liverpool's tourism jigsaw

Strolling down Mathew Street in the heart of the city, one can drink an espresso in the Lennon cafe and browse the shelves of the Original Beatles Shop.

After that, you can have a bite to eat in the Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds diner.

This tour is, of course, just an appetiser for a visit to the area's main attraction - the Cavern Club - the venue which the band made their second home and became synonymous with after being "discovered" there by Brian Epstein in 1961.

For anyone beginning to feel a touch of fatigue, help is close at hand.

"You could stick.. Beatles
on anything and there would
be someone out there who
would want to buy it"
Jamie Ferguson, Original Beatles
Shop

In a couple of weeks, visitors will be able to rest their heads in the four star Hard Days Night Hotel - the city's most adventurous themed hotel yet - which is opening nearby.

Mathew Street is proof, if any was needed, of the remarkably potent and enduring global appeal of the Beatles and their enormous commercial legacy to the city.

"You could stick the word Beatles on anything and there would be someone out there who would want to buy it," says Jamie Ferguson, assistant manager of the Original Beatles Shop which has been selling souvenirs and merchandise since 1983.

Although he has sold themed kaleidoscopes and pinball machines in the past, many of his customers spend relatively little once they get there.

Many visits, it seems, are as much an act of pilgrimage as a shopping experience.

"If we just relied on collectors we would have been long gone. 90% of customers are tourists who want a memento of coming here. For a lot of them, a bag is enough."

Magical tours

"There are people who
have this attitude that we
want to look forward rather
than backwards and the
Beatles is looking backwards"
Jerry Goldman, the Beatles Story

There are thousands of people in Liverpool who owe their livelihoods to the band's continuing popularity and the seemingly unrelenting fascination with its musical origins and acrimonious break-up.

Those wanting to take a tour of key Beatle landmarks in the city are spoilt for choice.

The Magical Mystery Bus Tour - taken in a vehicle with appropriately psychedelic livery - will whizz you round all the favourite, iconographic locations in about two hours.

For those seeking a fuller itinerary, the Fab Four Taxi Tour promises three hours of excitement including the possibility of a rare visit to Ringo Starr's childhood home.

Deborah Kenyon, whose husband launched the business earlier this year, says they saw a gap in the market for a tour offering a more personal and relaxed experience.

"It has been much better than we had expected and we realize there is quite a market out there," she says, having secured more than 500 bookings since February.

"It still surprises me the level of interest in the Beatles."

Money may not be able to buy you love but undying love for the band continues to bring plenty of money into Liverpool.

Interest in the band's birthplace attracts visitors from all over the world and has contributed to a three-fold rise in overseas trips to the city in the past three years.

According to tourism agency the Mersey Partnership, about 600,000 people visit the city every year because of its unique association with the Beatles and spend more than £20m while they are here.

With celebrations for the 2008 European Capital of Culture - which will feature performances by the two surviving Beatles - getting underway, all looks rosy as far as Liverpool's status as the UK's magnet for music tourism is concerned.

But underneath the surface harmony, there is the odd discordant note.

For some, the understandable focus on the Beatles has obscured the legacy of the wider Merseybeat pop movement which continues to shape the city's current music scene.

An exhibition at the Liverpool World Museum later this year, examining the impact of artists ranging from Billy Fury to the Zutons as well as historic venues, seeks to rectify this.

But a more serious tug-of-war seems to be going on over the ambassadorial role that the Beatles play in attracting visitors and this may be harder to resolve.

Musical hook

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44264000/jpg/_44264405_fury203jpg.jpg
Civic leaders do not want to see
other music legends eclipsed

Despite the success of recent years, some fear the city is not doing nearly enough to exploit the Beatles brand to its commercial advantage.

"There is no screaming and shouting that we are the birthplace of the Beatles and I think that is unfortunate," says Jerry Goldman, director of the Beatles Story exhibition and shop which attracts 200,000 visitors a year.

He feels the city is missing a trick by not putting the band at the heart of its marketing strategy as a sort of neon sign to alert the world to its unique place in cultural history.

While evangelical about the wealth of cultural assets on offer in Liverpool, he is concerned there is no "clear message" about what makes the city different from other competing regional metropolises across Europe.

"You need a hook. Mention the Beatles and everyone still comes running," he says.

So why this reluctance to put the Beatles centre-stage?

"It started to happen for a very little while but then people started to shout 'there is more to Liverpool than the Beatles' and they lost it. There are people who have this attitude that we want to look forward rather than backwards and the Beatles is looking backwards."

Visitors to the exhibition are up 23% this year and a £1m expansion - which will triple its size and add many new features - is expected to boost revenues by 30% in 2008.

This growth is testament to the enduring interest in the band, Mr Goldman believes.

The Beatles' capacity to generate hard cash seems as undiminished as their ability to win over new generations of adoring fans.

"The music is known and loved by kids of all ages. That is what is going to keep the Beatle industry going for a couple of more generations."

I can see the Beatles in our shed :D

wow.. what a surreal picture.. bravo..:handclap:

who,s that with the funny face looking through the window Lindy?

Someone told me that a name plaque has been erected at Starr Fields. Probably means Ringo has been or is expected.
Starr Fields is the Shorefields school sports ground built on Dingle playground.

Painting of the Beatles, art exhibition in the Anglican cathedral.

Kensington plaque to the Quarrymen. It will be 50 years this 14th July since they made a record here. Some information about the recording is here:

Starr Fields, Dingle Vale. This is opposite his old school. This sports ground opened last Summer, but the sign only went up a few days ago.

After his appearance on Jonathan Ross last night, it may be gone soon!

Four statues have been erected on the new Beatles hotel. The last one (Lennon) was just being fitted, this morning.

I've got to go into town this weekend, so I will take a few photos of them.

That will be good Steven if you can. I'd like to see them :)

There's a load of images on here.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/image_galleries/hard_days_night_hotel_gallery.shtml?1

Excellent Paul, thanks for that.

Thanks for posting those images - not too sure about the statues of Macca and Ringo - don't look much like them. Still say the one over the original Beatles shop is the best likeness.

Oh, how I would LOVE to stay there! It would be a dream come true. Unfortunately, can't come back to visit at this time. Maybe someday...

Thanks for the great pix. We don't get too much Beatles news (except for the divorce stuff) over here in the states, unless we actively search for it (which I do!). :)

A lady member on here loves Liverpool and the music here so much, that she come all the way from Hawaii at least one a year. You will make it over here one day, and you will be made very welcome.

I visited back in 1984 and I never wanted to come home. Everyone I met was so friendly. I felt very much at home.

Liverpool has changed a lot since 1984 but the people remain the same. When you really get to know the members on here, you will find how helpful they can be in providing you with inside information about, not only about the Beatles but many other Liverpool groups.

George Harrison`s statue on the front of Central building

during his 'Bangladesh' phase.

during his 'Bangladesh' phase.

He did a lot for the people of Bangladesh, and his 'concert for Bangladesh' was like a mini 'Band Aid'. Co organised by Ravi Shankar

The first time that Ravi Shankar came to the west and did a concert he started off the concert with tuning his sitar. As is quite normal in an Indian classical music concert Ravi Shankar came out on stage and sat down to tune his sitar. It took him 45 minutes. When he finished the audience gave him a standing ovation! He said very humbly to the audience, "If you like my tuning, you will probably like the actual music that I will be playing tonight." :)

Eee bah gum, we were easily pleased back then lad, oh yes we wah :)

A mate of mine was playing classical music on his guitar at the Phil last year and he spent half an hour on the stage tuning up. Eventually some of the audience had fallen asleep and some were walking out.
The manager came on and said to him, "What's taking you so long ? we had the famous Segovia on last week. He just walked on, picked up his guitar and played."
My mate replied, "Some people just don't give a sh*t do they ?"

I think its the other way around :)

I'm sure George had the look 1st.

Anyway George was a Saint and Connely is a sinner, his 'joke' about the Iranian hostage was a disgrace.

I don't George was the first with that image

the body looks out of proportion to me

I don't George was the first with that image

http://sharpiron.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/classic-jesus.jpg

I doubt Jesus was either, the reference was between Connely and Harrison, not the history of beards in the world.

Here`s Paul Macartney

Another fine pic but who the hell said "Yeah,that looks like Paul" to have it erected? Have these people never heard of Specsavers????

I would go mad if they done one of Zappa and it looked like Groucho Marx or someone else.

Some people will accept anything.
Talking of statues,those other ones of the Beatles in the cavern walks are a joke.Not one looks like any of them.
Quite sad really.:PDT_Xtremez_42:

George Harrison`s statue on the front of Central building

Excuse my ignorance but where is the Central building? Are we talking about Central Station or Central Hall on Renshaw Street or where?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Is that the new Beatles theme hotel I seen being worked on when we were last in Liverpool?

Am not repeating myself again Gregs Dad...bloody good pic but....
I think that is the worst of the bunch for non-lookalike.
I don't know who it looks like but it doesn't look nothing like Ringo.
Bloody awful that!:PDT10

Hi Chris ,It`s in North John Street

Is that the new Beatles theme hotel I seen being worked on when we were last in Liverpool?
I think it is Gerry although I never saw the name outside the building it still
has the old name on the masonry,Central Building. It`s in North John St.

I've been told that Starr Fields sign (picture of Ringo) has been vandalised with paint. I'll have to check.

seeing this thread reminded me of summat I read last week about a pub landlord buying 2 old Blackpool Illumination displays of John Lennon.

so I've just strolled down to see if he'd got them up and running yet. 1 on the roof, the other in the car park.

Not sure - was there a crocodile in Help?

I found this:

McFarlane Toys is releasing a brand-new, never-before-seen set of Beatles action figures based on the classic Beatles Cartoon series. Produced by King Features, the cartoon premiered in the U.S. in 1965 and ran for two immensely popular seasons. This line of figures is based on the Beatles' animated appearance in that series and includes all four band members.
The Beatles Saturday Morning Cartoon Box Set from McFarlane Toys includes John, Paul, George and Ringo figures each with their instrument. The figure bases can be assembled to form a stage diorama. The Beatles Saturday Morning Cartoon Box Set also includes the figure of the crocodile as seen in the "Not A Second Time" episode. These Beatle action figures are 6 inch scale and are articulated at the neck, shoulders and wrists.

If you have a big interest in the Beatles you might like to know that a new training course will run soon to train Beatles Guides. It should be announced in the local media next week.
