The Beatles in Bangor Wales - A Bittersweet Retreat
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print captured by the Daily Herald, we see The Beatles gathered together during their stay in Bangor, Wales. It was August 1967 when the iconic band arrived to participate in a transformative 10-day conference on Transcendental Meditation led by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Staying at Dyfrdwy, one of the halls within Bangor University's Hugh Owen Building, the Fab Four sought solace and enlightenment amidst their hectic lives. However, fate had other plans for them. Just two days after their arrival, devastating news shattered their peaceful retreat - Brian Epstein, The Beatles' beloved manager had passed away. As word spread like wildfire through British press outlets, reporters flocked to the college entrance seeking answers from these musical legends. In a moment frozen forever in time, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr stood visibly shocked but composed as they briefly addressed journalists before departing from Wales. Paul McCartney immediately rushed back to London upon hearing of Epstein's untimely demise. This unexpected turn of events cast a somber shadow over what was meant to be an enlightening experience for The Beatles. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst fame and success, life can throw unexpected curveballs that test our resilience. It captures both the joyous anticipation of spiritual growth and the heart-wrenching reality of loss experienced by these legendary musicians during their time in Bangor – forever etching this chapter
