Ep51: Six degrees of separation: The Beatles' Singapore story

from Lion City Rock · host The Fast Colors, Chris Toh, Kevin Mathews

It's 1964, and The Beatles are here in Singapore! They were on the way back to the UK after their Australia and New Zealand tour. Although their stopover was only 55 minutes long, they planned a meet-and-greet with fans. But 3,000 of them stormed the VIP area, so that event was cancelled. Once the plane refuelled, the Beatles went on their way.But there's more to the Beatles' Singapore story than that. And Kevin and Chris explore how Fab Four touched the Lion City's music scene. For example, did you know that ...... there are issued-only-in-Singapore Beatles albums and EPs somewhere out there?... John Lennon once visited Golden Mile Complex?... The Thunderbirds and The Quests had minor hits with Beatles covers?******Like, follow and subscribe to Lion City Rock on RedCircle, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible or wherever you get your podcasts.

I just moved to a new city, to start a new job, with new people… And I have no idea what I’m doing. There’s a huge pressure to know exactly what you’re doing and the exact trajectory that your life is on… But it’s completely unrealistic. And with social media, it can be so easy to feel behind people, because everyone else’s life looks so perfect. So I wanted to offer a genuinely transparent look into what a 20 something-year-old’s life in a new city looks like.
