In the time since publishing his memoir, The Redhead on the Roof and first appearing on SATB (160), Beatles equipment manager Kevin Harrington has now become known to millions of fans by his ubiquitous presence captured on film and presented in the eight hours of Peter Jackson’s Get Back.

Great interview with an honest guest who is clearly free of any agenda or axes to grind. Your show is doing a great service to history – so true how we are in the last stages of first-hand Beatle knowledge. The final call to ask questions is now. Awesome job!
