S08 Bonus: The Beatles Last Tour NIR Live 2023 Part TwoWhen The Beatles landed for their North American tour in August 1966 only the innermost of inner circles knew that the last gig was nigh. What was the environment that the group was performing in, and was it really the end?Live in Person from London, it’s Nothing Is Real. Website: nothingisrealpod.com/X: @BeatlesPodFacebook Group: tiny.cc/NIRFBGMastodon: @nothingisreal@mastodon.ieInstagram: instagram.com/beatlespod/YouTube: tiny.cc/NIRYTSupport: tiny.cc/NIRsupport

The Beatles First Tour (NIR Live 2023 Part One)NIR went on tour in 2023, so it seems fitting to tell the story of The Beatles’ first and last tours. In the beginning there was Johnny Gentle, a singing star with enough capital to play venues in the rural highlands of Scotland with the untested Beatles. What could possibly go right?Live in Person from Dublin, it’s Nothing Is Real. Website: nothingisrealpod.com/X: @BeatlesPodFacebook Group: tiny.cc/NIRFBGMastodon: @nothingisreal@mastodon.ieInstagram: instagram.com/beatlespod/YouTube: tiny.cc/NIRYTSupport: tiny.cc/NIRsupport

Bonus blurb. 16 Songs of 1966: No.17: Pantomime Everywhere It’s ChristmasIn 1966 there was a 17th song - the only thing heard from the Beatles between Revolver and Strawberry Fields Forever. For their annual Christmas fan club disc instead of the usual thank yous, they produced a collection of music and sketches. Like Revolver and Strawberry Fields, it showed where they’d been, and where they were going.  Live on tape from Dublin & Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real. Website: http://www.nothingisrealpod.comTwitter: @BeatlesPodFacebook Group: http://tiny.cc/NIRFBGYouTube: http://tiny.cc/NIRYT Support: http://tiny.cc/NIRsupport
