JUL 18: BEATLES INSIDER KEN MANSFIELD DISCUSSES HIS LIFE WITH THE FAB FOUR; FREE EVENT INCLUDES "THE BACKBEATS" TRIBUTE BAND, BOOK SIGNING, VIDEO DOC

Former Beatles Label Manager Ken Mansfield will speak and sign his book at Rolling Hills Covenant Church after "The Backbeats" band opens the event with live Beatles tunes

It sure is shaping up to be one of the biggest weeks ever for SoCal Beatle activities. There was Sir George Martin taking part in a look back at the making of Sgt. Pepper last Friday at USC, and the Grammy Foundation's Starry Night gala in his honor on Saturday. The Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad currently has an exhibit focusing on Beatles recordings. Now, The LA Report has learned (via KRTH 101.1 FM) that on Friday, July 18 at 7 p.m., Rolling Hills Covenant Church (RHCC) will host a special event in their Worship Center, entitled “The Beatles, the Bible and Beyond: A Long and Winding Road,” featuring Ken Mansfield, Apple Records label manager for the world-renowned rock band. Mansfield will speak authoritatively about the music business of the sixties and his life touring with the Fab Four.

Mansfield became the Beatles’ personal liaison between the U.K. and the U.S. – an association that thrust him into a world that changed his life forever. Mansfield will share his personal journey of being the record executive for the Beatles and working side by side with them in their rise to stratospheric stardom.

This free event will consist of a beautifully produced 20-minute video documentary on the Beatles and Mansfield's life, his personal testimony of his experience, and a Q&A session. A Beatles tribute band, “The BackBeats,” will open the evening by playing some Beatles crowd-pleasing favorites. Following the event, Mansfield will sign copies of his book, The Beatles, The Bible and Bodega Bay (Broadman & Holman), which will be available for purchase. Dessert will be served at the conclusion.
