"Trinidadian calypsonian Harold Phillips (Lord Woodbine) drove the Beatles to Hamburg in his VW van, along with Alan Williams, his wife and brother - in- law. The Beatles were known locally as Woodbine's boys and used to hang around the Jacaranda club in Liverpool (which he ran with Williams), where he let them play steel pan and coached them on their guitar chords. He also advised them to get a drummer, which they did not have at the time, (Pete Best obliged) and coached them in Hamburg in stagecraft, song selection and performance. Thanks to the forgotten Beatle coach and mentor. ❤️💚🖤"
