A HANDWRITTEN letter from Paul McCartney on August 12, 1960, inviting an unnamed drummer to audition for a place in the Beatles has sold at Christie’s for £34,850 (€40,650).

Paul McCartney is to appear in a new five-minute promotional film to promote former The Beatles bandmate Pete Best's Liverpool, England coffee shop.

YOU'D think any mention of beetles and Liverpool would conjure up images of John, Paul, George and Ringo, but a museum in the home town of the Fab Four has other ideas.
