PAUL McCARTNEY REALLY IS DEAD
The Last Testament of George Harrison
Director Joel Gilbert to present film & Q&A

In the summer of 2005, a package arrived at the Hollywood offices of Highway 61 Entertainment from London with no return address.  Inside were two mini-cassette audio tapes dated December 30, 1999 and labeled “The Last Testament of George Harrison”.  A voice eerily similar to Harrison’s tells a shocking story:  Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in November of 1966 and replaced with a double!  British intelligence, MI5, had forced the Beatles to cover up McCartney’s death to prevent mass suicides of Beatle fans. However, the remaining Beatles tried to signal fans with clues on album covers and in songs.
 
Until now, the “Paul is Dead” mystery that exploded worldwide in 1969 was considered a hoax.  However, in this film, the mysterious voice on the tapes reveals a secret Beatles history, chronicling McCartney’s fatal accident, the cover up, dozens of unknown clues, and a dangerous cat and mouse game with “Maxwell,” the Beatles’ MI5 handler, as John Lennon became increasingly reckless with the secret.  The voice also claims that Lennon was assassinated in 1980 after he threatened to finally expose “Paul McCartney” as an imposter!
 
Highway 61 Entertainment has investigated this stunning new account of the conspiracy to hide McCartney’s tragic death and produced this unauthorized documentary that includes newly unearthed evidence.  The mysterious voice on the audio tapes narrates the entire film in what may prove to be the most important document in rock and roll history, leaving little doubt that PAUL MCCARTNEY REALLY IS DEAD!

David Bedford was born in 1965 and grew up in The Dingle, Liverpool, by the bottom of Madryn Street where Ringo Starr was born.  When illness forced retirement upon Bedford, he was advised by a doctor to find an interest to occupy his time.  Bedford began a quest to discover as much as he could about the history of the Beatles in Liverpool.  Almost a decade later, the result is Liddypool: Birthplace of The Beatles, a gorgeous coffee-table book published by Dalton Watson Fine Books and includes a foreword by drummer Pete Best.

“To understand The Beatles, you have to understand Liverpool,” Bedford writes.

“Liddypool” was published in 2009, and has been described by Bill Heckle, organiser of Liverpool Beatleweek, as “the best Beatles book I’ve seen for 20 years”, and has received the backing of Pete Best, Allan Williams, Bill Harry, Hunter Davies, the Quarrymen and many more.

Andrea Kalin, featuring Pete Seeger, Moses Asch

Folkways Records founder Moses Asch turned the music business model on its head. He avoided hit makers and catered to unknown musicians. He dug into vanishing traditions around the world to harness music and sounds that inspire people. Artists like Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly can still be heard on this original indie label with the mission of gathering sound and spreading it to the people.

Worlds of Sound explores the powerful chords of this musical inheritance. With longtime Folkways producer Richard Carlin and others, the film takes viewers through the Folkways story, from the passion of founder Moses Asch to the New York Jazz scene in the 1940s, to the 60s counter-culture and its folk heroes. The film introduces us afresh to Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and others at the front of the Blues and Folk revivals: names like Lead Belly, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGee, and Lightnin' Hopkins. Folkways recorded everything: the clatter of city street noises, the murmuring of frogs, and the music of distant lands unknown to most Americans — and way off Top 40.

For this sweeping story, we'll venture inside Smithsonian Folkways and meet the people who continue to discover and collect music from around the world. "Our songs are singing history," Woody Guthrie declared. This documentary will reveal how true this is through the songs of Folkways artists."
