Day #2 of #Maccawatch as Paul arrives at the Philharmonic Hall for the LIPA graduations. The same Paul of The Cavern, Shea Stadium, Get Back and more .. right in front of me. Mind slightly blown. #PaulMcCartney #TheBeatles

His book is in the “getting to you next” pile beside my bed. And you do not look anywhere near your age either.

You win! How fab.

Busted vs McFly at the 3Arena? 🙂 Or maybe it’s Al at the Concert Hall.

I had this on VHS for years. Hearing them mention John’s 50th birthday is kind of alarming!

64 years ago today, in Paris. Little did they know.

Happy Birthday, Johnny.

Excellent. I must listen.

Is that title a pun on the Irish word Amadán (an idiot/eejit)?

Genuinely sad to read this news about Manchán. His recent radio interview with Brendan O’Connor stopped me in my tracks. Suaimhneas síoraí dá hanam.

Anne-Marie @amflynn.bsky.social · 13d

I'm so sad to read this. Manchán was one of a kind. An incredible writer and storyteller.

A warm and fascinating person with a great sense of adventure, brilliant mind, and a deep ghrá for our landscape, folklore, and language.

He had so much more to give. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Back when Twitter was just about bearable I sent out a hopeful
Tweet asking for Lovely Beatles Moments.

Not songs or albums - just shards of Beatleness that make people happy.

I turned the responses into a little zine.

Here it is. Hope you like it.

Yes, he does. Photo taken Dublin, 7 November 1963. With Paul and John backstage at the Adelphi are, as you say, Eileen Reid and the Cadets, a local showband.

Wonder if @marklewisohn.bsky.social knows of this?

This slipped out on Friday - the first taster of the remixed "New York City" album. It's…rather good. Recommended in Atmos.
