I am writing this from Hamburg where I celebrated Stuart’s birthday yesterday, passing near to the house where he sadly died in 1962.
But I wanted to celebrate his life, so I out together this short video of the places he lived in Liverpool and how John and the Beatles became part of his life.
When The Beatles went down to EMI Studios on 6th June 1962, were they under contract or was it an audition?

It also led to the end of the road for Pete Best in the Beatles.
Examine the evidence with me now in this video.
