Fly Across Ringo’s Dingle and Mural
To finish off this little series on the new Ringo mural, I returned this week with my friend Darren Brady to take a closer look.
Darren, an excellent cameraman also has a drone, so we decided to fly it across the Dingle and get close up to the mural.
He also flew it down Admiral Grove where Ringo grew up before heading back to Madryn Street where Ringo was born.
Enjoy the flight!

On 6th July 1957, Paul McCartney was introduced to John Lennon after watching The Quarrymen perform at St. Peter’s Church in Woolton, Liverpool.
What really did happen? Having spoken to all of the surviving members of the Quarrymen, I could finally get as close to the truth as is possible.
Watch for the story of that incredible day.
