Total rubbish

total rubbish at the moment unfortunately. I've never seen so many tags at the top of the article, but each of them (and more besides) is spot on. Most obvious of all, it doesn't actually seem to say anything about the actual auditions. Should be drastically contracted and merged with History of the Beatles.

I met Dick Rowe briefly in about 1981. The version he told me was that he had gone to Liverpool to follow up on a recent visit by his assistant. He had gone to see two bands in the same night: The Beatles and The Tremeloes. He knew before he arrived that he could only sign one group. He thought that the Tremeloes gig had more of a buzz so went for them. He also showed me an unpublished manuscript of an autobiography, 'The man who turned down the Beatles'. With luck this manuscript may come to light one day. User:Ianerc 16 August 2006
