The Beatles - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ranked at Liverpool Philharmonic Dining Rooms with Laura Davis & Ellen Kirwin (Beatles City Podcast) & Jim (We Will Rank You)
from The Quarrelmen Beatles podcast · host Adam Gimbel
What’s your most loved and least favorite song on the Beatles' legendary eighth album, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?! We travelled across the pond to the source to discuss the big one. While Adam and We Will Rank You host Jim were in England to see Blur play Wembley Stadium back in 2023, we arranged to record this episode up in Liverpool! Beatles City podcast hosts Laura Davis and Ellen Kirwin agreed to chat with us with almost no notice and the historic Philharmonic Dining Rooms let us reserve a beautiful, private room to record in. Paul McCartney famously surprised fans there for an episode of Carpool Karaoke but now the pub will TRULY be legendary! Because this was recorded long ago and researched while on holiday, it's different and less fact-filled than usual but still easily one of our most special episodes ever. Getting Laura and Ellen's fascinating backgrounds meant that there's not a single musical edit for the first half hour while we hear about their origins, their amazing Beatles audio oral history and Laura's uncle, Quarryman Rod Davis. Local musician and sound engineer Cal Williams (Hink Studio) set up a mobile recording studio for us and chimed in with his Pepper favorite too!
