While we wait for the opportunity for Gail to interview Paul McCartney about the inspirations for his songs, we came upon the work of David Bedford of Liverpool, England, who has made it his life's second career to research the origin stories of the Beatles' songs and the Liverpool roots of their lives and music. Gail talks with David about the geography behind the well-known phrases of "Penny Lane", about the reasons for his fascination with the Beatles, and about why he believes Liverpool was the only place the Beatles could have begun their journey.You can discover more about David's work and his book Liverpool: Birthplace of the Beatles at https://davidabedford.comThe Brainwave Podcast is produced and presented by WindWord Group Publishing and Media.

Join us as David Bedford gives us some great stories from his book "The Fab 104". Learn about Janice the Stripper, Arthur Pendleton and of course, the "Man with the flaming pie".The story of how the group went from being The Quarrymen to The Beatles runs a long and winding road through many different musicians and band members. During this time, they also provided backing for several singers and occasionally had guest musicians join them on stage. Also included in the list are important people who either taught them to play or had a direct influence on their performances. Each one of these one hundred and four people is included in the story. This is how The Beatles evolved from a group of friends playing skiffle music, calling themselves The Quarrymen (also spelled Quarry Men – there is no definitive way to spell it) to becoming the biggest band in the annals of popular music. The story begins in the summer of 1956 and takes you through to the end of 1962 when the final piece of the jigsaw, the addition of drummer Ringo Starr, saw The Fab Four completed.Check out the "Fab 104" and other great books at www.thebeatlesbookstore.comInstacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

You may already know the author of Liddypool and The Fab 104 for his meticulous research in already well-trod grounds. But with his latest work, David Bedford reveals new revelations – some of them shocking. In Finding The Fourth Beatle, David brings a fresh interpretation and critical new analysis to Beatles scholarship, going where the evidence leads him regarding the truth behind Pete Best’s parting ways with the group, as well as the process of recruitment that (eventually) led to Ringo. There is also new light shed on the 18 (!) Beatle drummers, the Decca audition, Brian’s unsigned managerial contract and those who might have been Beatles – but weren’t. David is also working on an accompanying documentary and a companion CD release.
