The Beatles with Biographer David Bedford

David Bedford, author of seven Beetles biographies, takes us down
memory lane with the incredible history of The Fab Four. ABOUT
OUT GUEST David Bedford grew up in The Dingle, Liverpool, by the
bottom of Madryn Street, where Ringo was born, and attended the
same school as Ringo, though many years later. In the Dingle, he
met his wife, Alix. Not long after marrying, they left The Dingle
and bought a house near Penny Lane. They have three daughters,
Philippa, Lauren and Ashleigh, who were born in the same hospital
as John Lennon and they attended Dovedale School, where John
Lennon and George Harrison began their education. When illness
forced retirement upon David at the age of 35, he began a quest
to discover as much about The Beatles and Liverpool that he
could. He started to write for the British Beatles Fan Club
magazine in 2000. His first book, first published in 2009 is now
on its Third Edition: Liddypool: Birthplace of The
Beatles. His second book, The Fab one hundred and Four:
The Evolution of The Beatles, was published in 2013 to
critical acclaim. It featured every family member, friend
and musician who contributed to the story of The Beatles,
including the previously unknown school friend of John who
started it all. In 2016, he was a co-author with Hunter Davies,
the only authorized Beatles biographer, on The Beatles Book, with
fellow authors Keith Badman and Spencer Leigh. Published in 2018,
his third book, with co-author Garry Popper, is Finding the
Fourth Beatle, which tells the story of the 23 drummers who put
the beat behind the Fab Three. He was also the Associate Producer
and historical consultant for “Looking For Lennon” (2018), a
documentary film about the life of the enigmatic Beatle.
Published in 2020 was The Country of Liverpool: Nashville of the
North, covering the country music scene in Liverpool and the
country roots of The Beatles. In 2021, ACC is publishing The
Beatles Fab Four Cities, co-written with Beatles guides Richard
Porter and Susan Ryan, a book looking at the four cities that
defined The Beatles career: Liverpool, Hamburg, London and New
York. David is working on other book and film projects too, as
well as conducting Beatles Tours around Liverpool for many years.
He is also a regular guest on podcasts and radio shows too.
