Living the Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans

Join author and Beatlesologist Kenneth Womack for an in-depth dive into his new book – Living The Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans. Kenneth will be in conversation with fellow Beatlesologist and JBFC favorite Scott Freiman. The evening will feature previously unseen footage of Mal with The Beatles.

Malcolm Evans, the Beatles’ long-time roadie, personal assistant, and devoted friend, was an invaluable member of the band’s inner circle. A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses, Evans loomed large in the Beatles’ story, contributing at times as a performer and sometime lyricist, while struggling to protect his beloved “boys.” He was there for the whole of the group’s remarkable story: from the Shea Stadium triumph through the creation of the timeless cover art for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and the famous Let It Be rooftop concert.

Womack’s book Living the Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans (Dey Street Books) will be available for purchase and signing, courtesy of The Village Bookstore.
