~ The Beatles with Mal Evans ~ ~ His first friend among the group was George, who suggested to the Caverns owner Ray McFall that Mal be hired as a doorman. The tall and burley Mal, then 27 years old, was accepted, and became a valued asset as the enthusiasm of The Beatles fans gradually turned to hysteria ~ ~ Mal joined us full-time in 1963. He was our bodyguard, but he was great at it because he would never hurt anyone. He was just big enough to say, Excuse me, let the boys through. He was pretty strong. He could lift the bass amp on his own, which was a miracle. He should have been in the circus. - Ringo Starr - Anthology ~ ~ He had a bag that he developed over the years, because it would always be: Mal, have you got an Elastoplast? Mal, have you got a screwdriver? Mal, have you got a bottle of this? Have you got that? And he always had everything. If he didnt have it, hed get it very quickly. He was one of those people who loved what he was doing and didnt have any problem about service ~ George Harrison - Anthology ~ ~ Malcolm Frederick Mal Evans was best know as the road manager, assistant, and a friend of the Beatles. In the early 1960s, Mal was employed as a telephone engineer, and also worked part-time as a bouncer at the Cavern Club ~ People that knew him called him a gentle giant {he stood approximately 63} ~ :)
