Saddened by the news that Tony Bramwell has passed away.

We met Tony in London with The Beatles Pilgrimage Tour. He joined the tour as we were having lunch down the street from Decca Recording Studios, and spent the next few days sharing stories about everything he did with & for The Beatles, Brian, Apple and so on.

Couldn’t wait to meet & talk with him after reading his book; Magical Mystery Tours - My Life With The Beatles. We enjoyed his first hand insights & stories. Who knew that by carrying George’s guitar into the hall that he would get into the show for free ? And that a lifetime of employment & friendships would come of it!?!?!?

Tony my friend, may you rest in peace. We’ll miss you. The Beatles Pilgrimage Tour will miss your presence. Tony Maddalone, Sue Powell Hibbs, Mike Phelps, Jackie Spencer, Roag Best, and Freda Kelly will miss your jovial presence on tour(s). I’m glad I got to know you & most of all consider you a friend.

Cheers my friend! 🍻 Ta Ta! 👋
