A Terrific and Unpretentious Narrative
Kevin Harrington, at a young age, was drawn into The Beatles' orbit at the height of their career. In the various lowly but much-needed roles he fulfilled for them, he became a trusted insider, gaining entry into a world that we can only imagine - this was his normal. In addition to regularly rubbing elbows with the biggest names in British rock at the time, he was their go-to aid for mundane tasks (making tea, for example); a true fly-on-the-wall during their last years at Apple. While the famous rooftop performance marked an amazing career highlight for most of us, to him it was another day at work (being charged with lugging all that heavy gear to the roof). But of his experiences (however menial at times), his recollections are priceless - who among us wouldn't have happily traded places with him? Kevin provides insights into the personas and a vivid, engaging telling of those glorious times. This isn't a study of The Beatles per se; it's a narrative of an all-too-brief period of being in their employ; a ringside seat to history being made. For an overlooked perspective from someone who was not a peer, but an employee, this book cannot be bettered.
