Posted January 25, 201312 yr Hey guys, Just wondering if I could get any opinions/help on a project I'm working on. It's a documentary about the early stages of The Beatles career, between 1960-62, the time they spent playing 8 hour shifts of Rock n Roll in the clubs of Hamburg, Germany. I noticed there aren't really any feature length documentaries on this period and thought it would be a good idea to go for it. The way I'm planning on doing this film is by gathering as much info from Beatles fans with experiences and stories relating to this early stage of their career. If you're a Beatles fan who'd like to see this thing made then you could help me out by following the twitter @BeatlesHamburg and I'll keep you up to date with the project, letting you know how you could get involved. Cheers, any questions just fire away :)
February 17, 201312 yr Can't really help, too young to remember their Hamburg days, and don't know much about those days. I am a 'Beatles fan, though, and was saddened to hear of Tony Sheridan's passing away over the weekend. He certainly helped kick start their musical career, a very talented guitarist and song writer. I have a question for you - liked both the Birth Of The Beatles and Backbeat films, how accurate would you say those two flicks were? I would have thought that they both had severe historical inaccuracies, even if ultimately they were both entertaining movies. Talking of movies, there are currently two Brian Epstein movie projects in the pipeline, which should highlight their Hamburg days a little, I would have thought. They did do at least one Hamburg stint even after Love Me Do had been released. Best of luck with the project.
