PRESS: Radio legend Bob Harris on the songs the Beatles gave away, country’s resurgence, and the football team that lives in his head

Having grown up enthralled by the glow of the radiogram in the corner of his childhood home, ‘Whispering Bob’ Harris has now repaid the favour of introducing new music to multiple generations of listeners to his BBC radio shows.

From the likes of David Bowie and Elton John to modern country stars like Kacey Musgraves and Luke Combs, he’s always looked to the future and watched acts flourish from the beginning of their careers to super-stardom.

For his latest show, though, he’s looking to the past and one of the most influential acts he’s had the privilege of watching from start to finish – The Beatles.
