This month marks the 60th anniversary of the Beatles historic – and hysterical – visit to Australasia. The tour remains a significant social landmark in New Zealand's history, for its contribution to our developing youth culture, and also a major highlight of the Beatles’ career.
When We Was Fab: Inside The Beatles Australasian Tour 1964 is the culmination of a lifetime’s research by Beatles experts, Andy Neill and Greg Armstrong, and features many previously unseen photographs and never before shared stories from the time.
Gisborne born, Andy Neill, is a leading music writer, researcher and historian, considered by many as one of the foremost Beatles researchers in the world.
