WELCOME TO SPENCER LEIGH’S ‘ON THE BEAT’

Welcome to my website and if you have been buying any of my books, thank you.

I know from meeting people at Beatle Conventions in Liverpool that a lot of you like having books signed, so please get in touch if you want me to do that.  Someone gave Paul McCartney a copy of my old book, Let’s Go Down The Cavern to sign and he said, “Oh, Spencer’s book!”, which made my day as he had recognised the cover.

The days of specialist programmes on BBC local radio have, sadly, gone. Not to worry, I’m classifying my old programmes and interviews for the archives at Liverpool Central Library and the British Library,
