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. It therefore was time to bring him back to get his reaction to the film and drill down deeper on his experiences working with The Beatles.

    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!

    I agree Mike. I like when these guests say they simply do not know something. I realize that can be a bit frustrating for both the host and listeners, but it is important for the historical record to tease out what a witness saw/knew/heard/experienced/etc. instead of embellishing the story.

    Great interview. The most revealing takeaway is that in order to work for the Beatles you had to be someone who wasn’t very interested in them, someone who considered it ‘just a job’ as Kevin says, and ignored their stardom.
