Interesting extract from an article by 21 year old John Tunney, Junior Reporter, writing in Weekend Magazine (Newcastle Journal, 4 December 1965)

What caused it all? It wasn’t really their hair-style. It wasn’t their personal charm. It wasn’t their film-star wise-cracking toughness in the face of the questions of newsmen. It was a combination of this and the music. To some people in this country - especially the benighted and dull South - their accent was cute and funny. Bang went the idea that only Londoners could wise-crack and charm, and bang went the idea that the North was a land of fish and chips, beer, and telly-culture. Here were young men who were articulate and funny, who to a great extent put the mockers on southern snobbery by ignoring it or making it look ridiculous by throw-away gags, who were full of zest for life and zany with it. They provided the perfect vehicle for identification for listeners and audiences. This was new. In pre-Beatles days pop-stars were individuals - Elvis, say, had a solitary appeal by way of his sullen expression and hip-swinging singing. You could take him or leave him.  The Everly Brothers were so much alike that they could be taken as a single unit. They are very much the boy-next-door type. They presented nothing really new, except a certain whimsy and pathos in their songs. The Beates were four for the price of one - you could identify with the tough guy looks of Lennon, the little-boy sexuality of Paul McCartney, Harrison’s sneer, or the slightly pathetic appearance of the strangely-named Ringo Starr.   In a sense they didn’t have an English appeal in the way that Tommy Steele has - they couldn’t be easily classified as Liverpool kids in the sense that Tommy Steele was acclaimed as a bright and breezy Cockney kid.  There was something more here. They shook the English establishment by being polite but mickey-taking in the same breath.  A titled lady could be referred to as a “bird” and nobody felt offended. The group humour was hip and self-contained. It relied on an esoteric vocabulary to an extent - like Damon Runyon. But it was also part of the humour of their home-town. Really, it was the first time that the sense of humour of a heavy industrial area like Liverpool or Manchester or Tyneside had been paraded before the country without coming from the mouth of someone who was a professional ‘Northern’ comedian.  I’m pretty sure this fascinated Southerners and filled Northerners with a sense of pride. For Northerners it was a vindication. For the Southern masses it was a revelation.

james bites his hands until he’s bruised and bleeding to try to keep from crying out while being hauled. bridgens is the first one with him when he finally does and, in the next hours, bandages his hands before holding them at the end.
