THE BEATLES CONNECTION...

Paul's music connection to the fab four is that his father
Geoff Wilde played at The Cavern.

As a trumpet player in various jazz bands during the 50's and 60's he
witnessed first hand the transition from jazz to beat scene.

Paul will be devoting a page to his Dad in the very near future.
This to document his memories and experiences of the Cavern Club and the era. The fact he played at The Oasis Club in Manchester along with other local haunts is another reason to get his account of what those days were like.

And to ask how The Beatles were perceived by he and his fellow musicians at odds with the different music styles perhaps? So stay tuned!

Paul is a regular at the annual August bank holiday Beatles convention in Liverpool.
Collating the memorabilia, facts and information contained within these pages.

Interviews and photos from his own collection form

A site to celebrate the musical heritage of the city of Manchester
but one that also recognises the significance the town had on The Beatles.
