Living Life without Loving the Beatles

Gary Hall was born in Liverpool in 1964. Between 1987 and 2002 he made seven critically acclaimed albums and toured constantly throughout Europe and the States to promote them. Now days he runs a production company helping a wide range of singers, songwriters and musicians to get closer to that special place in music where poetry meets melody, melts and makes magic.

'Gary Hall has written one of the most entertaining music books you'll read all year... merciless and hugely funny.' The Guardian 'Irreverent, scurrilous and beautifully written.' Musician 'Fab Four fans be warned, someone's onto you and he's done his homework.' Record Collector 'It had to be written by a scouser, to avoid World War three... and has to be read by all Beatles fans.' Manchester Evening News 'This is no mere Beatle bashing book, but a tearfully funny, so-sharp-it-hurts, visceral volume. A startlingly good read.' Guitar
