Beatles tour guide needed

Britain's National Trust, which oversees historic buildings, is looking for the ultimate Beatles fan to guide tourists through childhood homes of Paul McCartney and John Lennon in Liverpool, according to Deadline.

Paul lived at 20 Forthlin in the Allerton neighborhood between ages 13 and 22, while Lennon’s home was at Mendips, a rowhouse in Woolton, between five to 22. 

Fab Four experts say around 100 Beatles songs were written at those addresses.

The National Trust is said to be looking for an expert on early-period history to take over for Sylvia Hall, who has held the job at Forthlin for eight years. She said recently, "I’m always very aware I represent the McCartney family... I am very careful to do lots of research." Hall adds Paul's brother Mike McCartney "has been very helpful with stories about the house. You get questions thrown at you [such as] 'Where is Paul’s mum buried? [or] What type of tobacco did Paul’s dad Jim smoke in his pipe?"

Thousands of tourists have toured the homes, including musical legends Debbie HarryJames Taylor and Jackson Browne. (Deadline)
