Hi Sara I know the history of this photo. There is a book on the sixty years since the Beatles tour of their tour to Australasia to be released 1st June. After its release I will advise full story. Colin Bray
Above photo is of me with The Beatles at their Hotel in Sydney. I was the Head Instructor at the Rushcutters Bay Bowl and George came to bowl after we closed the centre. he asked if i would bowl with him so we bowled and talked for the next hour or so. as he was leaving he asked if i would meet the other 3 of course the answer was yes so next afternoon i went to their hotel and was ushered up to their suite where George saw me and immediately came over and called the other 3 to come and meet me we spent a little time talking and then they asked if i would like a photo which you see above. i was sitting on Mad Mel's scarf. i understand there is a color version of this photo if anybody has it please let know.
Thank you so much for this great story, Colin! I am excited about the new book about the tour of Australia -- I just need to find myself a copy in the U.S.
It's mad MEL actually :)
