I used to be in Liverpool Beatlescene in the early 1990's - a fan club set up specifically for fans in the Liverpool & Merseyside area, although ofcourse input, ideas and subscriptions were welcome from all over the world also. In the days before people the world over became their own content and picture editors and posted on forums such as this, we used to meet up and go the pub for a chat Jean Catherall, who some of you may know from The International Pop Overthrow (IPO Festival) was key to Beatlescene's success and did a fantastic job, does anyone have any idea if they are still going? Is it worth paying to be a fan club member for any band these days? Information can be gained so eaisly on-line for free, I think fan clubs are a dying breed. Plus, as you get older it's maybe a little embarrassing to be a say 30-something fan club member!

a lot of fan clubs now is just free stuff on the web. personally i'd love to have hard copies of things sometimes though so wouldnt mind paying in to a fan club.

I didn't know that you were a member of Liverpool Beatlescene, Rob, because so was I from about 1994. I was still living in Germany then, but went to the Club meetings during Beatleweek. Jean is still running the Beatlescene website (www.liverpoolbeatlescene.com). Also used to be in the Wings/McCartney Fun Club.

Yep, The ORIGINAL one, , but unfortunately not the magazines or the flexi discs, just the album.
Don't ask , it's a long and painful story and upsets me nearly 40 years on.

Jean is still running the Beatlescene website (www.liverpoolbeatlescene.com). Ta Wilf, I'll have to check that out and say email and say hi. I found my Beatlescene t-shirt the other day
