Old Beatles photo?

    HI,
    My dad had a load of old photos in old slides, they sat in our
    attic for years and years. He passed away 10 years ago and I've finally gotten them converted soft copies (thanks to Gillian Golden who did it).

    My dad mentioned that he met the Beatles years ago on holidays and I think that these two photos are from when he met them. In the first one I think it looks like one of them (Ringo maybe) with their back to the camera.

    The second one I think is just the local band and doesn't contain any of the Beatles. Can anyone confirm this?

    Could be correct. That might be Paul McCartney sitting at the piano in the first image.

    The Beatles generally wore suites that were all the same colours. On one tour, the 1966 final one, where they played in Bukodan, they didn't at all. On this tour they wore silver jackets and dark pants - much like in the picture here. So if you could date the picture, it'd help increase the possibilty a little more!

    I'd believe it's very similar to them - white collars on show, shirt sleeves longer than jacket, shortish trousers. The hairstyle is in time with the final touring years too.

    Bear in mind they didn't tour after August '66. If the picture is any later than this, it's not them!

    I think you're right with Ringo there, and like Paul said, the piano dude isn't unlike mcCarthy.

    They are some cool photo's!

    I think the way the group around the piano are captivated by the pianist suggests it's someone significant

    Yeah for sure and that red head is trying to be super cool, but there is a sure interest in whoever is sitting at that piano. And if that's not ringo, then I'm robot! Great stuff man, such a shame there is nothing Better composed with faces in frame, could have been worth a bob
