Sorry jo

11. This son of an Irish journalist toured with the Beatles (4,5 / 5,6, 5,1'6)

thank you all for your help
May not be Ivor Davis

Travelling with the Fab Four was a far cry from Ivor's early days in Hackney, Stepney and Whitechapel.

Born to a Polish father, who anglicised his surname from Davitsky, and an English mother, Ivor attended Hackney Downs Grammar School, whose alumni include playwright Harold Pinter.

Ivor's brother, Barry, is an expert in Jewish history, Yiddish language and literature.

Raised in an Orthodox home, Ivor was barmitzvah and had his heart set on becoming a police detective.
