Mike Prowse Solo Travel Comedy

During a crucial session in June 1962 George Harrison made a joke about George Martin's tie. It gave the EMI man a hint of the cheekily approachable sass which would beguile the world. And now - Marc Moss-Jones and Kevin Core's book about this epochal moment has landed on my welcome mat. I Don't Like Your Tie is a trip into the world of the joke that made The Beatles. But SOMEONE has to go further. Someone needs to check out where that tie is now. And I, as a seasoned travel journalist and podcaster who has worn a tie, am the man for the job. Join me as I descend into the Fabosphere, have a run in with a man from the motor trade, meet the egg men and have a catastrophic interaction with George Harrison's microscope.
