Письмо Пола Маккартни выставили на аукционе

In 1958 Paul McCartney and George Harrison went on a hitch hiking holiday and ended up in Harlech, a village in North Wales, famous for its castle and the song the Men of Harlech. They knocked on the door of a farmhouse belonging to a family named Brierley and asked could they pitch their tent in the field at the rear of their bungalow. As luck would have it, the heavens opened during the night and a rain-soaked George and Paul sought refuge in the Brierleys’ farmhouse. They ended up staying the week, becoming acquainted with the Brierley’s son, John, who was himself a musician. John recalls several days of playing snooker and spinning Elvis Presley’s first LP, ’Rock ‘n’ Roll’. He also remembers well Paul banging away on the family’s piano trying to work out the solo in the middle of Buddy Holly’s ‘Think It Over’. The highlight of the week was when Paul and George sat in with Harlech skiffle group ‘The Vikings’ (of which John Brierley was a member) during a performance at the local Queen’s Hotel pub.
