The Beatles' secretary Freda Kelly is coming to Dublin for an interview with Tom Dunne as part of the Dublin Beatles Festival — 60 years after they first played here.

Though it was almost 65 years ago, Freda Kelly still remembers the day she left Dublin as if it were…well…yesterday.

“I didn't know anything about it,” recalls the 78-year-old. “We were down the countryside for our holidays and I remember coming back up to Dublin, seeing these tea chests and cases in the hallway and that’s when I found out we were moving. I didn't want to move. Although it was only over the road, there were still different things to get used to. I had a different accent and everything.”
