Re: This photo is great
Have you got this image with Arthur Kelly still in the photo?Lord Reith wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 11:57 pm Just marvelous!
John looks so much older than Paul and George! George's guitar is practically bigger than him.
ROCK OUT, MACCA!
Re: This photo is great
No, it's George's mate Arthur Kelly. It was taken in Speke Secondary School in Liverpool, circa early 1958 and according to drummer Colin Hanton's book it was George's first gig. Colin Hanton was present but sulking off to the side because he didn't have the cowboy shirt. This is the same cowboy shirt Paul wears in the April 1969 photos to promote Get Back and Ballad of John and Yoko.Lord Reith wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 11:07 pmYeah going by John's guitar I'd say this is literally just after George joined.Eric_Manchester wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 1:47 am I'm always amazed to see early photos of the group and see how young they were. Do you think this was in their Japage3 days?
When you look at how young Paul seems and consider that he had known John for a fair length of time before introducing George, the reality of the J-P meeting at St Johns fete in 1957 really hits home. Paul must have appeared to be nothing more than a little kid to John, who at 16 already looked at least 20. This is probably why no-one else remembers anything about the meeting.
Yeah, I just mopped out the other guy. Is that Nigel Walley?alphabeatles wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 1:46 am That seems to be the Russian version! Here is (perhaps?) the original:
"John and the neighborhood kids..."
Re: This photo is great
The lad stood between Paul and George is Ivan Vaughan. That's Ivan's house "Vega" behind George on Vale Road, Woolton, Liverpool. 'Vega' backed on to John's house 'Mendips'. Even now, after all these years, it still backs on to 'Mendips'.
