Hello! We just couldn't keep away, and having recently passed our first 100,000 listens, we thought we would say thank you and Happy Christmas with this special episode looking at the first 4 years of Beatles fan club Christmas flexi discs!
We recorded the in person on a handheld recorder, so apologies if not up the usual audio quality.
We hope you all have a lovely festive period and new year, and we will see you in 2025!

In the last of our mid season pre-Xmas specials, we are talking about the new Beatles 64 documentary out now on Disney+. We recorded this literally the day after we both watched it, so this is very much a casual 'reaction' episode to ease us into our xmas break.
I also mention the book 'The Beatle Who Vanished' by Jim Berkenstadt, which you can find out more about here: https://www.thebeatlewhovanished.com/
We hope you all have a lovely festive period and new year, and we will see you in 2025!

In 2019 we lost a Rutle, a Bonzo and a Python - these were all one man; the incredible Neil Innes. His wife Yvonne, who was with him since the early sixties, has now written a memoir of Neil's life and their time together - Dip My Brain In Joy: A Life With Neil Innes, which is available from 24th October 2024 from Nine Eight Books.
In this chat, Yvonne talks about Neil's philosphy of life and language, his risk-taking and what it was like to be around art-schools in the sixties as a new wave of comedians and musicians started to change the world. She also discusses her own "pro good-things, anti bad-things" stance, her and Neil's relationship to finance and how these things can affect art and creativity.
Thanks so much to Yvonne for making the time to chat to us! Enjoy.
A celebration of the life of Neil Innes takes place in London on the 28th November and standing tickets are still available.
