Beatles News Roundup: Robbie McIntosh Remembers First Tour with Paul; Hotel Used by John and Yoko Under Threat
Robbie McIntosh reveals his “pinch me” moment as lead guitarist on Paul McCartney’s first-ever solo tour - Guitar Player
“The funny thing was, Paul never said, ‘Oh, by the way, we’re going to play Beatles songs,’” McIntosh recalls. “It just seemed like that’s what he wanted to do. I think when he was with Wings, he used to do a few Beatles songs like ‘Yesterday.’
“We would suggest stuff, too. It was either me or the keyboard player, Wix, who suggested doing the Abbey Road medley at the end. Before long, we were playing a lot of Beatles songs.”

Campaigners' inquiry plea over bid to demolish 'Beatles' hotel - North Wales Live
Campaigners are calling for a planning inquiry into moves to demolish part of an historic hotel. The 200-year-old Corbett Arms Hotel in Tywyn was once visited by Beatle John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
A coalition of heritage charities, led by SAVE Britain’s Heritage, is urging the Welsh Government to hold a planning inquiry into plans to demolish large parts of the town centre hotel. SAVE says Cyngor Gwynedd believe it is unsafe but SAVE itself thinks only a little needs to be done to save it.
