| George, Paul, John and Jimmie |
1. Within
one year of playing drums with The Beatles, Jimmie Nicol was bankrupt, divorced,
unemployed and vanished for the first, but not last, time.
2. Jimmie
Nicol was not just a drummer. He was also a composer, arranger, producer, piano
player, singer, A & R man for RCA, a teacher, a carpenter, a badge
manufacturer and a radio host.
3. Jimmie
Nicol remarried in Mexico City and toured that country with his wife Julia, who would
perform dance interpretations of their music.
4. In
May, 1960, Jimmie Nicol toured Scotland with Vince Eager & the Quiet Three
at the exact same time The Silver Beatles toured Scotland backing up Johnny
Gentle. But The Beatles and Nicol never met during this tour. Nicol also played with Tony Sheridan in England, the same musician who played and recorded with The Beatles.

5. Is
Jimmie Nicol dead? Is Jimmie Nicol alive? Did Jimmie Nicol fake his death? If
you play “Night Train” by Jimmie Nicol and the Shubdubs backward you might just
hear, “I buried Jimmie, miss him, miss him, miss him”. Just kidding. You will
have to read the book, The Beatle Who Vanished
to find out what happened to Nicol. Available at www.thebeatlewhovanished.com
