Louise Harrison talks Beatles brother, tribute show
Louise Harrison says she was more than just a big sister to The Beatles’ George Harrison. She almost was like his second mother.
“I was 11 years old when he was born,” says Harrison, 83, of San Diego. “So I was kind of like a younger mum to him!
“I would look after him, and I’d help him learn how to walk and to talk. And (when he got older and became famous) it was still very much of a supportive relationship.”
Now Harrison’s brother is gone, and she’s found herself continuing that same kind of motherly relationship with a George Harrison impersonator and three other guys in a Beatles tribute band. The Liverpool Legends performs Tuesday at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall.
Harrison hates using the word “manager” to describe her relationship with The Liverpool Legends — although she admits that that’s exactly what she is.
She prefers another title.
“I’m the mum!” she says and laughs. “I guess it’s just my modesty. I’d rather be known as their mum. Because if they have a button come off their coat, I’ll sew it back on for them.”
