The Redhead on the Roof, with Kevin Harrington

Our very, very special guest today is the great Kevin Harrington,
who most Beatles fans will recognize as the “redhead on the roof”
in the Let It Be and Get Back films. At the time, Kevin was only
18 years old(!) but had been working for the Beatles, in some
capacity, for years, first as an errand boy at NEMS and then as
an assistant to Brian Epstein. He worked alongside Mal Evans as
the Beatles’ “roadie,” as he’s billed in the Let It Be credits.


After the Beatles broke up, Kevin stayed closely in the fold,
even living at Friar Park with George and Patti during the
recording of All Things Must Pass. Then, he finally struck out on
his own in the ‘70s and beyond and was a roadie with some of the
biggest names in music, including Wishbone Ash, Motorhead, Petula
Clark, Ted Nugent, Tina Turner and more.
