Lady Madonna – Tom Murray

Tim is joined by renowned photographer Tom Murray. They discuss Tom’s remarkable firsthand experience photographing The Beatles during their famous 'mad day out' in 1968, reflecting on creativity, spontaneity, and the band’s enduring legacy.

Tom recalls hearing Paul McCartney play Lady Madonna live as he first walked into the session, before capturing a series of now-iconic images of the band across seven locations in London. He shares stories of that extraordinary day; travelling across the city, observing the band’s dynamic, and documenting candid, unguarded moments that would later become some of the most celebrated Beatles photographs. The conversation also touches on his connection with George Harrison, the haunting Lennon image, and why these photographs continue to resonate decades later.
