"I doubt we will have anyone breaking through in the kind of monumental way that The Beatles did, or like The Who or The Rolling Stones": George Martin correctly predicted the future in 1983. Or did he?

Beatles George Martin.

We love a classic interview where someone famous either nails a future prediction or, better still, they fail miserably at it, so we can gently mock them. We've discovered one that definitely sits in the former camp, and it's with none other than Beatles legend George Martin.

Back in 1983, Martin had, of course, moved on from producing The Beatles and onto other projects including setting up AIR Studios in Montserrat – a fascinating story in itself, which we go into here. That didn't mean he would ever stop getting asked about the band though, but he was always more than willing to talk about them.
