We get this question all the time, so don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Mal Evans was The Beatles roadmanager from 1963 until they split-up in 1970.
Malcolm Evans was 26 years old when, while taking a lunch break at The Cavern Club he discovered The Beatles. Mal began frequenting The Cavern and struck up a friendship with George Harrison who eventually brokered a job for him as a bouncer at the club. After 3 months Neil Aspinal, the roadie for the band, asked him to help him and the band on the road.

Mal drove the van, prepared the backline, set up the instruments and loaded it in the van after the gig during their intensive

touring in the early 60’s.
It was the mild mannered Mal who entertained the audience while the boys were in the dressing room. This left Neil to take care of their personal needs and security. Both Neil and Mal ‘signed’ publicity photos.
While John was shooting ‘How I Won The War’ in Spain, Mal joined Paul on a safari in Africa.

He was the only Beatle insider at Paul and Linda’s wedding. He appeared in ‘Help!’ as a swimmer asking for directions the the White Cliffs of Dover.
During the studio years Mal provided assistance to the boys while they were recording and he appeared on a number of memorable tracks such as Yellow Submarine and A Day In The Life.

He’s shown moving a piano at the beginning of the film ‘Let It Be’ and talking to a policeman during the rooftop concert.

In 1968 Mal introduced Badfinger to Apple and produced their first single ‘No matter what’. He consquently produced them until halfway through the 70’s.

He also made the production of Keith Moon’s ‘Two Sides Of The Moon’,which, unfortunately failed.



After The Beatles broke up, he moved to Los Angeles where he met an untimely end due to an unfortunate incident involving a gun, a woman and the L.A. police in jauary 1976.
