Music broadcasting icon Bob Harris is inviting Harrogate Beatles fans not to miss a special event in Ripley next month.

The BBC radio and TV presenter is linking up with author/music journalist Colin Hall for an intimate speaking tour based around their mutual love of The Beatles, including rare archive from Bob Harris’ collection of interviews with Lennon and McCartney.

Called The Songs The Beatles Gave Away, the show will take place in Ripley Town Hall on Friday, September 6.

While Bob Harris is best known for BBC TV music show The Old Grey Whistle Test, Colin Hall has been the custodian at John Lennon’s childhood home ‘Mendips’ in Liverpool for the last 20 years, guiding the likes of Bob Dylan and Yoko Ono in person, and has also authored two books on The Fab Four.

The two friends have worked on several projects together before
