More from year 1973

In Liverpool, at the world-famous Cavern Club in Mathew Street, it is announced that, following last orders this evening, the club will close for business. Its manager Roy Adams announces: “We’ve got to go – there’s nothing we can do about it!” (However, following a last minute reprieve from the local council, the Cavern Club continues for business until May 27, when its fate is finally decided-see entry.)

"An updated edition of the best-seller. The story of what happened to the band members, their families and friends after the 1970 break-up is brought right up to date. A fascinating and meticulous piece of Beatles scholarship."

We owe a lot to Keith Badman for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles after the break-up and how their stories intertwined together!
