This was an incredibly engaging event - not just for the Beatle nuts out there, but for anyone with a love of modern and cultural history. A fantastic evening with Stuart Maconie and Nothing Is Real! 🎸📚
The perfect mix of facts and fun from three genuine experts @paviliontheatre.bsky.social last night, with plenty of #TeamGeorge vs #TeamPaul rivalry for the fans.

Wonderful to have @beatlespod.bsky.social back in the room again, and lovely to meet @stuartmaconie.bsky.social too.

There is a great review of Our Secrets Are The Same in the new issue of Record Collector: 'Evocative memoir ... beautifully candid bromance ... the shared vision and the strength of their bond is palpable on every page of a book that even casual fans should devour.'
