The Fab Four and Me

Listen to the item

On 30 January 1969, four bearded and moustached men clad in thick fur coats climbed on to the roof of their offices in Savile Row in London, picked up their instruments and began to play.

It was The Beatles Rooftop concert - and it has gone down in history.

Sidney Ruback and Emlyn Harris were there. They met for the first time in the Home Truths studio to compare memories of that momentous day.
