13. Diary Entry
February 8th 1969 Dear Diary, Today I was at the London Soiree. I was having lots of fun. There was dancing, music, partying and drinking. At around ten, people started doing LSD and smoking weed. I refused to part take even though I knew they were trying to influence. Half an hour later I was given a cup of coffee, by who I don’t remember. I was sipping it every few minutes when all of a sudden I realised my coffee had secretly been spiked with LSD. It was terrifying but it was also amazing. George Harrison

14. When The Beatles Came To Dublin
It’s been 56 years since The Beatles brought their band to play at The Adelphi Cinema in Dublin on November 7th 1963.
It was different then. Nowadays you would need several colour coded badges to bet near an artist.
Back then cinema manager Harry Lush had went round to Eason’s to buy a bagful of label badges that said things like Steward, Treasurer and secretary.
One of them would get you into the Adelphi boardroom to chat with John, Paul, Ringo and George.
