Nice read.  Forget Backbeat.  Now this would be a great Beatles movie.  The young Beatles and Lord Woodbine in the van.

Aren't there any more pictures of Woody besides the one at the War Memorial ('Their Name Liveth...')?

I guess while the Beatles were popping amphetamines in the Van, he was shooting HGH.   ;D

williams was a sneaky bastard...he tried to sell the star club tapes to george and ringo in the early seventies....he stole woodys lime light....his book was full of half truths and was probally more of a crow of vanity than a history of the era...

Didn't Paul say about Allan's book: "Congratulations on your book, Allan. There's actually some things in it that are true."

But, has Allan Williams got too much credit over the years? Has he made himself more important (by his book for instance) than he really was in the Beatles history? I understood Mona Best arranged a lot for The Beatles in the early years, but she hardly ever gets mentioned. Allan Williams has painted an image of himself as a hardworking man who is just trying to earn some money in a more or less honest way. I guess he arranged some things and booked The Beatles in his clubs and Hamburg. But what else?

yeah true mona did...but that was mostly in her basement tho.....the casbah club was her basement...so does that really count???those english were weird cramming kids in like sardines,and those things were damp and humid..i bet that was a cool assed party,all nighters i bet...mona fecking one of the student fans...just a typical basement party officer...my son and his 50 friends..no they are drinking tea......i wonder where cellar hanging out became cool?who started cellar parties???over here its garages....the beatles were atcually a cellar band so the cellar is underground so they were part of the underground music scene...it so logical...tara

Could this possibly be Woody? Pictures taken 6th April 1962, New Brighton.

The date is most probably wrong, Paul. Not sure about the guy on the pictures tho. If I get the right date, I can look it up.

Sorry, that'll be 1962. And I've just found out it's Emile Ford.
