The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Beatle

from Fixing A Hole - The Beatles podcast you didn't know you needed · host Paul Humbley & Mark Wakely

Episode 40: The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Beatles (Extended Episode) I’ve never understood the term 5th Beatle. There were only four members of the group, John, Paul, George and Ringo. However, I will concede that there were four individuals who were integral to the success of the band. In this weeks episode we look at four people Brian Epstein, George Martin, Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans who formed that inner circle around The Beatles and the influence they had on the band back in the 1960’s, but also guided the Beatles legend into the 21st Century. Welcome to episode 40 of Fixing A Hole, The Beatles podcast you didn’t know you needed. If you’re a fan of the podcast, or you like to be a guest on an episode, we’d love to hear from you.  Please get in touch via: Facebook: Fixing A Hole https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61562724166069 Email: [email protected] website: fixingahole.transistor.fm
