So goes Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite, on The Beatles' 1967 album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. But who was Pablo Fanque? And why is he buried in a cemetery in Leeds?
Thank you for this video. Mr Kite is my great great great great great grandad 😊
Fanques for the video ;) Fascinating.
Really interesting from a fellow Beatles fan. Love and peace. Tim
For the benefit of Pablo Fanque, there'll be a CZcams vid swank on history
How many remain unaware that Beatles wrote about Fanque's Fair is a mystery
Yorkshire's Hidden History exposes that Leed's connection to us all
Let's give thanks that Pablo Fanque is shown to the world
Thank you for this lovely video. My dad used to take me here as a kid and I stumbled across your work when looking for videos about the cementary. I had no idea about this important piece of local history! Keep up the amazing work you do😊
Informative as always.
Thanks for all your work. It is a joy to behold.
Like the outfit who makes them again great video audio is ok
You mention it was a nightmare to make but the editing and the video itself was still awesome, learnt something new
Wonderful, what an interesting story - with a very apropos tie-in to the Beatles ~ thank you ~
Thanks for this! I only knew the broad strokes of his life from a railway history perspective because he ran a circus on the location of what became Norwich Victoria Station so this was really interesting!
Some interesting history here and I really enjoyed it! Who would've thought that a well known song from The Beatles was inspired by a Circus owner from the 19th Century! Keep up the awesome videos and i look forward to your next video!
Indeed....really interesting, I wonder if I can impress Mrs C with that info at teatime tonight..??
@@eamonnclabby7067 Not only is that awkward but also a creepy and a dumb thing to say..
@@TicTacTrolleyServiceTico speak for yourself..making that link here on Merseyside is neither, ask other Merseysiders...a lot of us actually do have links with the FAB4, so surprised at your reaction
@@eamonnclabby7067 Yes Surprise! NOT everyone knows about this connection between a Circus and Merseyside. But you asking Mrs C out is not right at all
I enjoyed this. Bravo. 👏👏👏👏 nice attire. Keep smiling kinky cheeks
"Keep smiling kinky cheeks"??!??!? lmao creep
Very interesting! Video and sound was fine. "What can go wrong will" Thank you!
Great story ….. as a fellow Beatles fan that was really good
Fantastic research and insight. As a Beatles nut I like to think I know a lot about them including the story of the poster that inspired Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite. This is a brilliant piece of research ...i'm well impresssed. Many thanks.
I’m also obsessed with the Beatles and have all my Dad’s original records, including Sargent Pepper with the cutout still in tact. I knew the story of the poster but not about the people. Good video.
This is fantastic
Love it. 🙌🙌
Good job!
Brilliant! (Would never have guessed the weather and recording issues.)
As for Fanque and widowhood - THREE months and re-married?!!! It makes me want to believe in an afterlife involving pearly gates and a celestial rolling-pin reception committee for the man. Bet he'd head the other way instead of meeting the first other half again.🙄😠🤣
That's what they did in those days.
Excellent video. I knew I bit of the story but didn’t know about his first wife’s death.
Very interesting video, I do quite like the beatles myself. :)
So how did they get Harry the Horse to dance the waltz?
"It was 20 years ago today..." well, actually, it was 23 years ago next Saturday, my wife and I were married.
I'll admit to THAT "privilege" (and blessing). The rest we can discuss over a seasonally-appropriate office beverage.
And yes, we were great Beatles fans, too...
He was a Moor. 🤵🏾♂️
Did not know that link to the FAB4, Macca aka sir Paul McCartney still visits his brother here on the wirral, always stops for a chat, has given up on converting me to vegetarianism ,although I did like the Linda McCartney sausages for a while.. ...!!!..E
