  • Spencer Leigh - 80@80'
    May 29 2026

    For this episode I'm joined by Spencer Leigh to discuss his memoir '80 @ 80'.

    Spencer was a first generation Beatles fan from Liverpool who began making programmes for BBC Radio Merseyside in the mid 70's. He amassed a huge library of interviews with Merseybeat musicians which led to his first book 'Let's Go Down to the Cavern' in 1984.

    Many other Beatle books followed, which include his biography of Cavern MC Bob Wooler and a look at the Pete Best sacking 'Drummed Out.'
