Paul McCartney recalled The Beatles receiving their MBEs from Queen Elizabeth II: “We were told how to approach Her Majesty and not to talk to her unless she talked to us. For four Liverpool lads, it was, ‘Wow, hey man.’" 🇬🇧 🎖️

The Bay City Rollers sold 120 million records. Their singer got less than £30,000. Decades later, he asked their manager where the money went. The manager asked him the same thing. In the video below, Les McKeown says it to Tam Paton's face: "You were our manager. Where is our money?" In the 1970s the Rollers were five Scottish lads in tartan and one of the biggest bands in the world. Les says Paton had him sign his first contract at 18, in the back of his car. On camera, Paton agrees it gave him power of attorney. "I never ever used your power of attorney," he says. The band sued their accountants. They ran out of money to pay their own lawyers and settled. Less than £30,000 each, the documentary said. Les brings a US tax return with royalty figures. Paton says he had nothing to do with it. "There's not any evidence to this," he tells Les. "You talked about something nearly 20, 30 years ago." Then the question comes back across the table: "So where is that money then?" "Sorry," Les says. "I came here to ask you where the money was." By the time of the film, Les lived in a small flat in East London. Paton had made his fortune in property and lived behind spiked gates outside Edinburgh. Did Paton lose the Rollers' money, or was he the reason it was gone? Every day here: a famous fortune, and the people closest to the star who took it.

John Lennon Reveal here at The Liverpool Beatles Museum! 🥃 A little bit of John Lennon’s humour, history and personality… You never quite know what you’re going to discover at the Liverpool Beatles Museum! 👀 This unusual Johnnie Walker Black Label bottle once belonged to John Lennon himself, purchased during a trip to New York with Paul McCartney in 1968 while promoting their newly founded company, Apple Corps. Passed down to Neil Aspinall, the Beatles’ road manager, the bottle has now found its home on display at the museum — and, as Roag Best explains, there’s a rather amusing story behind why this particular bottle caught John’s eye! 😂 We’ve always loved sharing the stories behind the objects, not just the objects themselves. Every piece of memorabilia has a history, a character and a little piece of the bigger Beatles story to tell. From the iconic to the unusual, you never know what you’ll find around the next corner. That’s what makes the Liverpool Beatles Museum so special. 💛 Come and discover the stories for yourself! 🎸 #LiverpoolBeatlesMuseum #JohnLennon #TheBeatles #BeatlesHistory #Liverpool
