Broadcast on:

It is, of course, Tynwald Day tomorrow and if you're out and about at the fare in St John's you may spot a stall selling photographs of a certain Beatle. John Lennon, to be exact, and not just any photographs - but the first photographs of John playing live with his first group The Quarrymen. They were taken by a young Charlie Roberts, now a Manx resident. Lewis Foster has been speaking to Charlie and his wife, Sandy, about how the pictures came about.
