The way they're carrying on about Woodbine being forgotten is not entirely true. As I was reading through it I remembered that Woodbine was portrayed in Backbeat. The one with Ian Hart as John.
Yes many years later,Lord Woodbine was portrayed in the film.Not too acurate though.He was a tall,thin and spoke with a Trinidadian accent which means that even then finer details missed out.He was much more than a road manager. What has now come to light from recent research is the great contribution from Lord Woodbine and so many other black musicians from Liverpool who were not given a mention in the story of the Beatles. 50 years later we are now closer to the truth.
