YE CRACKE PUB: NEIGHBORS SLAM "UNBEARABLE" NOISE

Established in the 19th century, Ye Cracke has long been a fixture of Liverpool’s cultural landscape, famously serving as a frequent gathering spot for John Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe during their days at the nearby Liverpool College of Art.

However, the historic Rice Street pub is currently at the center of a neighborhood dispute following its acquisition by Ye Cracke Incorporated Ltd last year. Since reopening in September after a six-month renovation, local residents claim the atmosphere has shifted from a tranquil community local to a source of "unbearable" noise.

Ye Cracke played a deeply personal role in John Lennon's history; it was the place he sought refuge upon learning of his mother Julia’s tragic death, and it was also where he took Cynthia for a drink following their first meeting at a college dance.

The tension has escalated as the new management seeks city council approval to convert the building's former cellar into a customer area. Neighbors have voiced formal objections to Liverpool City Council ahead of a Tuesday licensing hearing, arguing that expanding the pub's footprint into the old storage space will inevitably draw larger crowds and further intensify the disturbance.

San Francisco Art Exchange LLC first introduced Pattie Boyd’s autographed, limited-edition prints to the public in the early 2000s. Following years of enthusiastic support from the art community, she fully embraced her role as a photographer. In 2005, we premiered her debut exhibition, Through the Eyes of a Muse, which garnered international acclaim and sparked a massive media frenzy. This milestone eventually led her to pen her autobiography. Since then, her photography has toured the globe, with showcases in major cities from London and New York to Sydney and Almaty.

Born in Somerset, England, Patricia Anne “Pattie” Boyd is a celebrated model, author, and photographer widely recognized as “Rock ’n’ Roll’s Greatest Muse.” Her profound influence on music history is immortalized in iconic love songs such as "Something," "Layla," and "Wonderful Tonight," among many others inspired by her relationships with her former husbands, George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Boyd’s professional journey began in the London fashion scene of 1962, where she rose to prominence as a top model appearing on the cover of Vogue and leading major advertising campaigns. Her entry into the world of film came in 1964 when she was cast in the Beatles’ debut movie, A Hard Day’s Night—the pivotal project where she first met Harrison—and she soon expanded her reach into journalism by penning the "Letters from London" advice column for 16 Magazine.

Following her marriage to Harrison in 1966, the intense public scrutiny of being a "Beatle wife" led her to pivot toward photography. This transition allowed her to document her private world, resulting in historic images of her inner circle, including the Beatles' transformative 1968 retreat to Rishikesh, India. She maintained this visual diary throughout her subsequent marriage to Clapton, building an extraordinary archive of candid, intimate portraits featuring some of the most influential figures in music history. In the years since, Boyd has established herself as an accomplished travel photographer and has been honored as a member with distinction of the Royal Photographic Society.

GEORGE HARRISON RECONNECTED WITH TONY SHERIDAN IN GERMANY

In 1977, George Harrison reconnected with Tony Sheridan in Germany during a promotional event for his latest record, Thirty Three & 1/3. During a press conference held for the album's debut, the two musicians were seen together, capturing a moment that bridged Harrison's solo success with his early rock-and-roll roots.

Sheridan had been a pivotal figure during the Beatles' formative years, specifically during their 1960–1961 residency in Hamburg. Having already established himself in Britain through television appearances on Oh Boy!, Sheridan crossed paths with the group at the Top Ten Club. This collaboration eventually caught the eye of Polydor producer Bert Kaempfert.

The partnership culminated in a marathon recording session on June 22, 1961, where the Beatles served as Sheridan’s backing band for a rock-and-roll rendition of the traditional song "My Bonnie." While George Harrison played lead guitar on the track, the actual solo was an overdub performed by Sheridan himself.

When the single was released in Germany in October 1961, the group was credited as "The Beat Brothers" because the label felt the name "The Beatles" wouldn't resonate with German audiences.

Despite the name change, the record climbed to number five on the German charts and was released in the UK by early 1962. Most significantly, "My Bonnie" served as the catalyst for the band's global success; it was a customer's request for this specific German import that prompted record store owner Brian Epstein to visit the Cavern Club in November 1961 to see the band for himself, effectively changing the course of music history.
