The tour finishes at the Cavern Club in Mathew Street. Reserve your seat on the tour in advance to avoid disappointment.

All we require from you are your preferred dates of travel, how many people and choice of hotel - see main Liverpool/Beatles page. We also arrange complete vacations in Liverpool.

PAUL McLEAN; of mcleanscotland will work on this tour for you and not only will he include suggestions where to eat, drink and visit, he will supply you colour tour notes with his own brand Scouse humour, which comes easy to him! Born in Connel near Oban, he was taken down to Liverpool at an early age and grew up and went to school there. Himself a strange mix of Scot and Irish, Paul does a lot of the driving and guiding tours - he loves it, he may even come to Liverpool with you! Now that needs to be booked well in advance.

Facts you may wish to know; Paul has many items personally signed by George Harrison (actually met him), his sister was a neighbour of his and was in the music business, she actually shared a bill with them once!, Paul's birthday is the day before McCartney's (though not the same year!).

 

Magical mystery of Beatles footage   06 July 2008

The Beatles' first full television interview was given in Glasgow as the Fab Four began their rise to worldwide fame.The interview was recorded at the Theatre Royal studios of Scottish Television in Glasgow on April 30, 1964. It was broadcast only once and only in Scotland, on May 5. And then it was lost. Now, more than 40 years later, it can be revealed that the interview has turned up in a rusty can in a London garage. Scottish Television is in talks with Richard Jeffs, a television researcher, who unearthed the footage. Both parties are tight-lipped about exactly how the interview was discovered and what happens next. Jeffs said: "This is a good story for them (Scottish Television] and they want to tell it in a television programme and they have made decisions about that." He refused to answer detailed questions. "It's a great story and if you want to know it, tune into Scottish Television when the programme is coming out," he said.
