Mark Lewisohn

A London evening of Ivor Cutler's quirky joys, all within the bounds of British decency. Strongly recommended … www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/creamy-pum...

Great to see @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social with @marklewisohn.bsky.social and Tony Palmer at @chiswickbookfest.bsky.social.

Interesting evening in the grounds of the great Chiswick Park talking Beatles and other things with @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social @marklewisohn.bsky.social and Tony Palmer.

Sorry, but what is the question?

Here's a starter at least. youtu.be/0hEI9WPgUtU

www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j... The Beatles knew Lord Woodbine and Lord Woodbine knew them – but the truth should be kept in view and biased agendas avoided when presenting works of history. Swimming against the tide, here's eight minutes to set the record straight. WATCH youtu.be/0hEI9WPgUtU

On the day Sky bought ITV, which can't be right, farewell to brilliant Granada filmmaker Leslie Woodhead. In 1962 he made the priceless film of the Beatles in the Cavern, the look of which, he told me in 2003, was like 'something smuggled out of Eastern Europe.’ www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

6th July 1957 .. and a meeting at the village fete of St Peter’s Church, Woolton. We all know the story .. but, in the beautiful words of @marklewisohn.bsky.social, following Ivan Vaughan’s introduction .. “John, the elder, sang Come Go With Me; Paul, the younger, did.” #TheBeatles #OnThisDay

That's impressive research. I'm sorry I've nothing to add to it.

Much of my professional life deals with 'xx years since such-and-such event' but for my first book to have been out now 40 years is simply scary.

Thanks to Nemo and everyone for the education. I knew nowt about this until today.

Interesting – I've not noticed this before. You could be right. John was no football fan, and I don't think he ever publicly mentioned England's World Cup victory, but maybe someone gave him the charm and he felt like hanging it there.

Sunday morning… ( Available from wherever you pod )

As usual you have elegantly articulated exactly what I was thinking, Jillian! Finally got to listen to this episode today and it was, as you say, exquisite. It’s so great to have @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social back again, and @marklewisohn.bsky.social has no equal. Marvellous stuff. #EggPodExpress

A fantastic first episode! From gag classfied ads to "this then is" in-jokes to Birthday theories, it has the kind of exquisite detail only @marklewisohn.bsky.social & @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social can provide. The accompanying Mersey Beat Popularity Poll playlist is excellent too!

I’m happy and honoured to be the first guest in this new show (welcome back, Chris) and to pay due respect to Bill Harry for creating Mersey Beat, now 65 years ago.

THIS is why we need @marklewisohn.bsky.social and his peerless work SO badly. www.thenewworld.co.uk/jeremy-black...

Absolute pleasure to chat to leading Beatles historian @marklewisohn.bsky.social about his fascinating documentary Evolver:62. We also talked at length about Mark's research methods, how new discoveries are emerging daily & why it's never been more important to get their story right in the era of AI

This is excellent >> Mark Lewisohn on the race to save the Beatles' story from AI and algorithms www.thenewworld.co.uk/jeremy-black...

As always, @marklewisohn.bsky.social providing historical context for Dungeon Lane! Thanks to @adixonmusic.bsky.social for sharing. Full video here: youtu.be/xowdzq02hDQ?...

Evolver 62 on blu ray has arrived in the UK. Can't wait to watch it! Thanks to @marklewisohn.bsky.social for turning his 2022 stage show into an exciting new documentary!

Bought and watched it on Apple TV. I loved every second of it. Wonderful supplement to Tune In. Can’t wait for what’s next.

An engrossing journey through The Beatles' break-out year of 1962. I bought the film as a bit of a down payment on the future volumes, and because it's always a joy to hear the incredible story of The Beatles illuminated as no else can @marklewisohn.bsky.social letterboxd.com/nickfield90/...

Spending the evening with the guvnor - congrats to @marklewisohn.bsky.social on the tremendous ‘Evolver 62’ Required viewing for anyone Beatle inclined.

Not yet, no. But when I have that info, I'll post it on Bluesky.

Rest of the world: Liverpool West, (production company for my film Evolver:62) say "Distribution outside the USA and UK hasn’t been settled yet and will have a slow rollout." When I have more news, I'll share it here. DVD from bit.ly/3Zap37F is US product and sent from there, so it won't be cheap.

US people: I'm delighted by the appreciation from those who've seen Evolver:62. There are several ways to see it in America: Apple TV: apple.co/46m6L7x Google Play: bit.ly/4qsUXHy Fandango at Home: bit.ly/45SSvTu Amazon US: amzn.to/4pXf4gL

UK people: I'm thrilled by the warm appreciation from those who've seen Evolver:62. The production company Liverpool West is US-based and has focused most distribution efforts there so far. There is just one UK availability, which is amzn.to/4bP7bGS

It’s fantastic! Just finished watching it and actually got back on Bluesky to congratulate you since I saw on your website that’s where to find you. Thank you so very much for your commitment to tell the story of the lads with such respect and accuracy and passion

This, by @marklewisohn.bsky.social, is truly brilliant and totally absorbing - and despite having been a lifelong Beatles fan it's full of colourful detail I hadn't heard before. Thankfully it's also available on Apple: tv.apple.com/us/movie/evo..., so I don't have to tell you to give JB your money.

I'm told it will but have no details yet.

Thanks. But no other show I've presented has been filmed.

Today I become a film star. Well, hardly, but the documentary based on my 2022 London theatre presentation Beatles/Evolver:62 is available from Amazon Prime, 108 minutes of surprising and engaging cultural history for the price of a coffee. In the UK the URL is www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/det...

Congrats to Beatles Books Podcast on making 100 – a brilliantly simple idea done simply briliantly. I'm pleased to have been part of it.

George Martin would have been 100 today. Here he is characteristically being both musical and stylish.

Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The word is that I’ve a 'movie' out shortly. It's true. My 2022 theatre show The Beatles / Evolver:62 was filmed, and selections from that + new material shot in Liverpool and London comprise a feature that'll be streaming from Feb 2026. More details to follow, sample here vimeo.com/1023543808?f...

15. The Beatles, All These Years, Volume 1: Tune In, @marklewisohn.bsky.social . I avoided it for years, because even for me, it's surely too much - it can't sustain the interest while ending in 1962, can it? Oh, yes it can. It's magnificent. www.marklewisohn.net/tune-in/

Just up on the Telegraph, a thorough and thoughtful piece about the wrongheaded policy changes at WAC. Thanks to Kate Murphy, @illuminations.bsky.social, @unamccormack.bsky.social and @marklewisohn.bsky.social for giving up their time. Gift link here www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/65a1031...
