RINGO'S 80TH - HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Over many years, I've been lucky enough to meet and interview (via magazine and print/on-line editors), scores of well-known folk in many spheres of art, music, sport - in fact, thinking about it, all areas of life's entertainment, including politics (while working in and around Westminster for 26 years). All editors love photos and have usually requested a few snaps to illustrate a commissioned feature, so - during this never-ending lockdown, I have been cataloguing tons of images into what is now a fabulous library of the great and (not so) good over thirty years.

Just realised that the lovely Beatles' Ringo Starr is celebrating his 80th birthday today.  Have met him (and a couple of other Beatles over the years) at media events and I must say, Ringo is ageing very well!  Here are a few snaps from the time we met him and Barbara, his wife, in a tent at London's Chelsea Flower Show some  years back. They were so sweet and stopped while I made a small video.   Birthday wishes young man!
