A very interesting pre-fab figure that must be explored more in depth. Her inside knowledge is invaluable and must be looked into more as do all persons of the Hamburg era. I believe their learned experiences there gave us the Beatles we know and the cavern era polished it all into the super star they became.

As a Beatlemaniac I find it fascinating that Klaus Voorman has literally rooted himself with the Fab Four; all the way back to Hamburg with Astrid & Stuart. And he’s been with them and called on to play/record with them for so many years ago, into his future.
Thanks to “The Beatles Bible” and Happy New Year to all Beatlemaniacs!

Astrid was the kind of girl “you had to fall in love with” as she was smart, intelligent, talented and good looking. I have read many accounts of the Beatles’ Hamburg days and while the events in Backbeat may have been romantised for the sake of the story, there is no doubt in my mind that there must have been some kind of contest for her charmes. What struck me more in Backbeat is how they portrayed the love affair between John and Stuart. Now there’s a thought…

In the movie “Backbeat,” it is implied that John was also in love with Astrid (but that she fell for his best friend instead). Do you know if there is anything written in one of John’s letters or in an interview/book/etc. that confirms this?
