Though with the caveat of not officially confirmed by Paul or Glastonbury yet, but as I predicted last week, The Sun are reporting that Paul will headline the Saturday night at this year’s festival.

According to an insider…

Paul’s set will be an absolutely must-see. He is really excited for it and is determined to put on a hell of a show packed with all of the hits.

He is feeling really ready to get back out on the road in the US and then will be raring to tackle Glasto when he gets back.

There was some discussion about whether he should go ahead with shows this year because of the situation with Covid, but he decided he really wants to perform.

Glastonbury is such an amazing event to headline and he knows it will be an incredible moment for him.

Last playing there in 2004 (which I was lucky enough to be among the muddy masses for), he was magnificent, winning awards for the best gig of the year from much of the music press, I can imagine this being a triumphant return.

Good to see him honouring his 2020 booking, unlike Taylor Swift.

OUT NOW – The Beatles’ ‘1’ album and double A-side eSingle of Strawberry Fields Forever /Penny Lane are now available in Dolby Atmos.

“1” and “Strawberry Fields Forever /Penny Lane ” single released in Dolby Atmos.

To mark his 80th birthday, and as their first Song of the Year, Record Store Day will release a limited edition (3000 numbered copies worldwide) 12″ vinyl of Paul’s Women and Wives on 18 June, with the A-side featuring Paul’s version and the B St. Vincent’s version from McCartney III Imagined.

I believe Lord Liverpool is already taken, one of the heredities. Allerton could be a possibility, a nice nod back to his beginnings, or maybe Peasmarsh as that’s now his primary UK residence.

And an explanation of what a crossbencher is for those who don’t know; the majority of peers are appointed by political parties to represent their interests in the House of Lords, crossbenchers are outside of the political appointments and do not sit on either the Government or Opposition benches, but sit on the crossbenches along with other independent members. I doubt whether Paul would take part too much but I can see there might be subjects that interest him enough for him to give his opinion and vote on.

George Harrison ‘s childhood home – 25 Upton Green, Speke is up for auction.

Link

It sold to an American Beatles fan for £171,000. A reasonable amount above the £113,325 average for the area at a time prices there are falling, with a 1.36% decrease since August. Let’s hope they have plans for it beyond getting a tenant.  

25 Upton Green is now available for holiday rentals on Airbnb, should anyone want somewhere Beatley to stay in Liverpool.

Beatles and George Harrison superfans!

There is much in Liverpool to help you experience the Beatles, but nothing quite like this.

The Harrison’s lived in this terrace home from 1950-1962. They moved right as the Beatles were starting to gain stardom and success. This is a special place, located in a cul-de-sac residential neighborhood in Speke, just around minutes ride from Liverpool.

 

The space

 

Historic Bedrooms:
Walk and stay in George’s bedroom, where he first heard himself and the band on the radio! There’s a comfortable double bed and a large closet.

His sister’s bedroom features a single bed and a small closet, while his parent’s bedroom is larger with another double bed. All of them are waiting for you with premium quality high thread count fresh white linen.

Clean Bathroom:
The bathtub features original taps from when George lived in the house! We’ve only added a shower for your utmost comfort and stocked it with all essential toiletries and soft 100% cotton high-quality white fluffy towels.

Stay Connected:
The super fast WiFi in the house is ideal for streaming your favourite films or if you need to do business from the house.

Complimentary Drinks:
Complimentary hot drinks and biscuits are provided so you can relax with a tea or coffee when you arrive.

Parking:
In case you have a car, there is free parking available around the house.

Unique Experience:
Sit and strum a guitar in the same room that George, Paul, and John sat and rehearsed during the early years.

Listen to old Beatles albums, on our retro standing record player- within a Beatles home!

Re-imagine the famed picture from the front door of a young George heading off to play in an early gig for The Quarrymen.

Lots of pictures of how they’ve done the place at the link. I think the buyer who turned one of John’s childhood homes, 120A Allerton Road, into an Airbnb did a far better job of making that feel period than has been achieved with Upton Green.
