Thanks for this, I'll make sure to watch it.

But I've never understood why it was such a big thing why the Beatles split up, because most bands seem to last about 3 or 4 years before everyone is sick of the sight of each other / or become bored with each other, and naturally go their separate ways to make their own kinds of music. The surprise for me is that they stayed together for so long, not that they split up.
 
Is there anything that reamins unknown about the Beatles?
As amazing as they were surely even the die hard fan must get a bit fatigued?

Any good documentaries about the Rolling Stones out there?

Very early 1963 The Beatles were booked to play in Abergavenny by the Promoter Eddie Tattersall for £250. This booking for June was prior to the group releasing their debut album, "Please Please Me" in March and their third single "From Me To You."

Brian Epstein honoured the contract with Tattersall, even though the fees for Beatles concerts had skyrocketed in the months leading up to the concert.

The show was late starting due to John Lennon having to appear on Juke Box Jury. He and Epstein had to catch a helicopter from London to meet up with the other Beatles who were holed up in a local hotel. There were over 600 fans in the audience.

I’ve been told they were booked to play The Lodge in Briton Ferry but it fell through.

Wrong LP Phil. ‘Getting better’ is on Sgt Pepper’s not Let it be.
