British Beatles Fan Club - January Competition

We are pleased to bring you a very special competition! You can win a copy of The Unseen Beatles Documentary DVD and a pair of tickets to the Open Air festival in Somerset this July, sponsored by The Upbeat Beatles, the UK's top tribute band.

The Unseen Beatles

The Unseen Beatles is a documentary film of the world's most famous band. It features rare, never previously seen footage and provides a unique behind-the-scenes insight into the Beatles.

The Unseen Beatles reveals the truth about why, at the height of their fame in 1966, the world's first supergroup performed their last live concert and never toured again. Liberation Entertainment will release The Unseen Beatles the DVD on 22nd January 2007 to tie in with the BBC Two Timewatch programme, 'Beatlemania' airing on 12th January 2007.

Featuring previously unseen home footage and behind-the-scenes news film, this unique documentary tells the story of how four musicians inspired the birth of the modern touring industry, firmly established youth culture and then split at the height of their success. Those who met the Beatles were struck by their ordinariness and approachability. The Unseen Beatles includes their personal eye-witness accounts.

Contributors include the Beatles' former roadie, Ed Freeman; Barry Tashian, from their support band, 'The Remains'; Tony Barrow, the band's press officer from 1962 through to 1966; and Tony Bramwell, The Beatles' road manager from 1967 to 1970.

The Unseen Beatles also features extended interviews with Allan Williams, Andi Lothian, Larry Kane, Tony Barrow, Maureen Cleave and Tony Bramwell, as well as footage of the Beatles in Jersey.
