About

On September 12, 1967, The Beatles stayed at a hotel in Newquay, while filming their “Magical Mystery Tour”. In the evening, musician Spencer Davis, who was on holiday with his family in a nearby location, came to visit The Beatles.

The Spencer Davis Group had just finished a tour and I was having a holiday, staying with my wife and daughters at the Tywarnhale pub in Perranporth, which was owned by the parents of our road, Alec Leslie. I knew the Beatles quite well, so when I heard that they were filming at the Atlantic Hotel in Newquay I called up and asked Mal Evans what was going on. Mal immediately invited me over, so the whole family got into the Mini and drove over there.

The Beatles and Spencer Davis met again the following day in a pub.
