Laura Pease –
Really good tour yesterday – Adam delivers incredibly well and shares a huge amount of information both for real Beatles devotees and people like me who love their songs but don’t know a great deal about the background. Will look out for more tours in this series. Thank you Adam for risking life and limb to take photos on the iconic Abbey Road crossing
