Podcast appearances and mentions of freda kelly

It's the story you've heard a thousand times before, from a perspective you've never heard…Welcome back to the Dolls Pod! To kick off season 2, we're telling the story of the Beatles from the point of view of their biggest fan: longtime secretary and Fan Club president Freda Kelly! Her no-nonsense attitude, big heart, and hard work are proof of just how much a girl's love can change rock-and-roll

At være formand for Beatles-fanklubben i tiden omkring 1964 må have være en spændende opgave. Og selvom posten som formand (lige under præsidenten) har været en omfangsrig en af slagsen, var der masser af andre opgaver i Mortens hverdag dengang. F.eks. at arrangere pigtrådskoncerter på Ryttergården i Klampenborg. Indgang: 5 kroner. Men alligevel; At kommunikere med Brian Epstein, tale i telefon med Freda Kelly og samtidig være dybt indvolveret i at få The Beatles til København har selvfølgelig sat sit præg på Morten, der i episoden her fortæller levende om en fantastisk tid, da alt var under forandring.  Og ja; Morten mødte også Beatlerne den 4. juni 1964, og oplevede den første K.B. Hallen-koncert samme dag. Du tages i episoden med på en rejse til en tid hvor alt var i forandring, og hvor Morten selv også lærte en masse om kommunikation og at organisere. Først i spidsen for fanklubben, sidenhen som medvirkende til at BEAT-bladet blev sendt ud til de danske unge. Og det i en tid hvor der ikke fandtes computere, internet osv. Det var skrivemaskiner og breve der blev kommunikeret på. Morten Gronemann forlod Beatles-universet i 60-erne, og har siden hen været ejer/direktør for flere marketings- og reklamebureauer. Og ja: Han er en strålende fortæller. Lyt selv.

Selvom det snart er 55 år siden The Beatles stoppede, er de næsten mere populære end nogensinde. Sidst i november er der premiere på Scorseses nye dokumentar 'The Beatles '64'. I denne POVcast møder du et af de mennesker, der var tættest på, da musikverdenen drejede sig om The Beatles akse. Fra 1962 til 1972 var Freda Kelly ansat som sekretær og fanklubleder, først for Brian Epstein - senere efter hans død i 1967 for Apple Corps. Og dermed for The Beatles. Hun var førstehånds vidne til deres, ja, sensationelle udvikling. Da The Beatles var på toppen, blev Freda Kelly i en overskrift kaldt 'Verdens mest eftertragtede kvinde'. Egentlig er Jan Eriksen stoppet som podcaster. Men dette POVcast ekstranummer – og et par andre - har ligget i en digital skuffe, siden han sammen med andre Beatles fans besøgte Liverpool i foråret 2024 – under en rejse arrangeret af den danske Beatles fan, Søren Mathiasen. Ved en spontan indskydelse optog Jan Eriksen en samtale med Freda Kelly i baren på hotel A Hard Day's Night i det centrale Liverpool. Den er optaget på en telefon og lyden på POVcasten er ikke optimal. Det beklager vi. Alligevel håber vi, at du vil lytte med. Musikken er god. I POVcasten fortæller Freda Kelly, i dag 79, anekdoter om sin tid sammen med The Beatles, der begyndte, da hun igen og igen så dem i den ikoniske musikklub, The Cavern. ”Selvfølgelig var det kærlighed ved første blik. Kvinderne her vil forstå det. Du havde fire flotte fyre på scenen. Med al respekt for andre musikere – nogle gange har du et band med måske to flotte fyre, måske en pæn sanger. I The Beatles så de alle godt ud,” siger hun. Og senere blev de vist meget gode, som Shu-Bi-Dua synger. Hør hende fortælle om: - forskellene mellem de fire beatler indbyrdes. - samarbejdet med manager Brian Epstein. - Epsteins død, der i årene efter har været omgærdet af en vis mystik. - øjeblikket, da hun indså omfanget af vanvittige beatlemania, der kulminerede midt i 60erne. - Magien. - The Fab Fours luner. - festerne, der fulgte i kølvandet på deres færden. - da hun blev fyret af John Lennon. - to af de største oplevelser med The Beatles. - mødet, hvor det lykkedes hende at overbevise George Harrison om, at hun forlod familien The Beatles, og som derfor besluttede at lukke den officielle Beatles-fanklub. POVcasten et mini-indblik i, hvordan The Beatles var som kolleger.

It's time to spin a new episode of Fans On The Run! My guest for today is social-media content-creator, and fellow record-collector, Vinyl Benjy!   We talk about export pressings, the “olden days” of buying CDs at Best Buy, the best deals we've found record shopping, the effect of certain YouTubers on record prices, whether to recommend Let It Be or Get Back to new Beatles fans, Freda Kelly, The Monkees, vinyl cuttings, why we collect so many copies of the same album, and the least effective game of show-and-tell ever recorded!

Freda Kelly chats to Ray about her fascinating experience of working with The Beatles

Dr Lorina Naci tells us about her research on babies, Freda Kelly chats to Ray about her fascinating experience of working with The Beatles and Award-winning author Oein DeBhairduin joins Ray to chat about his new book Twiggy Woman,

Freda Kelly and Ryan White crowdsourced a film telling the story of the Beatles fan club secretary and her decade-plus with Brian Epstein and the Beatles over a decade ago.    This week we review the film and consider its place in the canon and whether it continues to hold up.

When you think of The Beatles, it's hard to imagine there was ever a time when they weren't known worldwide; when they were still just a group of "ordinary" guys oblivious to what fate had in store. But this is exactly how Freda Kelly knew them. Freda, originally from Dublin, knew The Beatles from their time playing at The Cavern in Liverpool. After becoming friendly with them, Freda was approached by their new manager, Brian Epstein, who asked her to be his secretary. Recalling the days that she became part of a group that was about to take the world by storm, Freda talks fondly of what life was like for her and the families throughout the rollercoaster journey. We hear, in particular, about the relationship that she developed with Ringo's mum. Starting off as a helping hand with sorting the mail, their bond grew over a tradition of egg, chips and cream cakes.

More On The Film & Alan G Parker  From the Emmy nominated director of Monty Python: Almost The Truth , Alan G. Parker (Rebel Truce: The Story of The Clash, Hello Quo, Never Mind the Sex Pistols, Who Killed Nancy) and produced by Reynold D'Silva and Alexa Morris , the film features incredible rare archival footage unseen since the 1960s. The film also features rare interviews with The Beatles' original drummer Pete Best , John Lennon's sister Julia Baird , Beatles' manager Brian Epstein's secretary Barbara O'Donnell, Steve Diggle of the Buzzcocks, Beatles associate Tony Bramwell, Pattie Boyd's sister Jenny Boyd , Hunter Davies, Simon Napier-Bell, Ray Connolly, Bill Harry, Philip Norman, Steve Turner, Andy Peebles, Freda Kelly and The Merseybeats . IT WAS FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY! THE BEATLES: SGT. PEPPER & BEYOND examines the year 1967, the year that would arguably be the most crucial in the band's career, a year in which they stopped being the world's number one touring band and instead became the world's most innovative recording artists, pushing the boundaries of what could be achieved in the studio. Unable to hear themselves perform and mired by controversy, the band decided to stop touring in August 1966. What followed was a period of extreme creativity and rebirth during which they embraced Swinging London, the ‘avant-garde', LSD and the advent of the Summer Of Love. The result was the creation of their new alter ego, Sgt. Pepper, with the desire to create a pop music first, the concept album. A devoted fan since the age of nine, the film's director Alan G. Parker has set out to explore this period by filming interviews with former employees, fellow musicians, family member and journalists, all of whom were there at the time. These stories are in turn supported by a vast array of impressive archival footage, much of it not seen since first transmission. The result is a detailed examination of why the band stopped touring, how the album was conceived and its recording at EMI's Abbey Road Studios, its lyrics, the creation of its sleeve and finally its release. All this is set against a background of the band's changing relationship with their manager, Brian Epstein and the tragedy of his death, the creation of Apple and the powerful influence of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

The Official Beatles Fan Club played a significant role in interfacing between the Beatles and their fan base all the way from the Cavern days through the final days of the band and (slightly) beyond.    While Freda Kelly played the largest role, there were others involved in both the U.K., the U.S. and other countries.   As the four went their separate ways, Paul and Linda would keep the spark alive with the Wings (later Paul McCartney) Fun Club.    Join us this week, as we look into the history of the clubs and the publications they presented themselves to the world in, The Beatles Book Monthly, and Club Sandwich.

The Fab 4 Free 4 All follow-up with Kathy McCabe, co-producer of 'Good Ol' Freda'.

On the occasion of the release of the DVD of "Good Ol' Freda," Ken and Steve chat with Freda Kelly about the movie and her work with the Beatles. 

NWP welcomes director Ryan White.  Ryan talks about his new documentary film "Good Ol' Freda" This film has been the darling of the media world, getting major press from all the top television shows and entertainment sites.  #6 on iTunes, The Beatles worked with Ryan to bring this film and tribute to Freda Kelly to life.  Special appearnce in the film by Ringo Star with a beautiful dedication to his friend Freda, should not be missed! Freda Kelly was just a shy Liverpudlian teenager when she was asked to work for a local band hoping to make it big. Though she had no concept of how far they would go, Freda had faith in The Beatles from the beginning, and The Beatles had faith in her. History notes that The Beatles were together for 10 years, but Freda worked for them for 11. Many people came in and out of the band's circle as they grew to international stardom, but Freda remained a staple because of her unfaltering loyalty and dedication. As the Beatles' devoted secretary and friend, Freda was there as history unfolded; she was witness to the evolution – advances and setbacks, breakthroughs and challenges – of the greatest band in history. In Good Ol' Freda, Freda tells her stories for the first time in 50 years. One of few documentaries with the support of the living Beatles and featuring original Beatles music, the film offers an insider perspective on the beloved band that changed the world of music. www.goodolfreda.com   www.ryanwilliamwhite.com www.northwestprime.com
