Nothing Is Real - A Beatles Podcast

The Beatles First Tour (NIR Live 2023 Part One)

NIR went on tour in 2023, so it seems fitting to tell the story of The Beatles’ first and last tours. In the beginning there was Johnny Gentle,

a singing star with enough capital to play venues in the rural highlands of Scotland with the untested Beatles. What could possibly go right?

The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame

1988 was an unusual time: The biggest Beatle was George, rock stars were dealing with the unthinkable (their forties),

people were paying attention to Mike Love, and the rebellion of rock & roll had been replaced by a gentlemen’s club.

Bigger Than Jesus - Part Two

Four months passed between John Lennon free-associating about Christianity to a trusted journalist,

and touching down in the US for a North American tour. The “Bigger Than Jesus” controversy hung over the tour,

but was it really that big of a deal?

Stuart Sutcliffe - Part Two

Stuart Sutcliffe - Part One

Stuart Sutcliffe was the star pupil at the Liverpool College of Art, and also John Lennon’s flatmate.

By becoming a Beatle, he demonstrated that the band was a state of mind.

Stop & Smell The Roses

When work began on Ringo’s eighth album in May 1980, the outlook was good. John, Paul and George came on board to contribute, trying to rekindle the magic of 1973’s Ringo album. By the time the album came out at the end of 1981, it was a different world.
