On Tour with Ivor

How fitting that on the 60th anniversary of The Beatles “invasion” of America, an old friend, Ivor Davis – who toured with the Fab Four as an “embedded” correspondent for the London Daily Express, one of the world’s largest newspapers at the time with five million readers – should give a fascinating talk at the venerable Santa Barbara Club on his unique experience 

Ivor, 86, who has just published an anniversary edition of The Beatles and Me On Tour, covered John, George, Paul and Ringo’s North American tour from start to finish; the only British national newspaper to do so.

“I was given incredible 24-hour access to them, crisscrossing America on their private jet and also being a passenger in limo Number Two,” says Ivor, who lives in Ventura County, and incidentally became George Harrison’s ghost writer.

The new book dishes up new riveting behind-the-scenes stories only an insider knows.

Ivor has also written for the London and New York Times, and Los Angeles Magazine, as well as being involved in a documentary on the Beatles which debuted at the Ojai Film Festival
in 2021.
