In September 1967, the Beatles came to Tonypandy, South Wales, and spent six days with Tom Morris of 23 Upper Chemical Terrace … In August 1967, the Beatles were stunned by the death of their manager and mentor Brian Epstein. In the immediate aftermath, John, Paul, George and Ringo sought comfort in the low-key company of a middle-aged Welshman - and in their new but obsessive hobby of racing pigeons. All was well, until the Maharishi arrived to put the cat among them … Elsewhere, in 'Dylan Goes Electric', an alternative sixties is evoked, where modernist poets rule the pop charts; 'Villa Nellcôte' depicts the Rolling Stones' former south-of-France mansion today, where a small-time local playboy is still busy with the visiting groupies; and the title character in '"Crazy" Luke Dober' becomes the most tragically fated, yet somehow overlooked, man in the history of rock'n'roll.
