John Lennon: Give Me A Chance 
by Gail Renard

May 1969. As a sixteen-year-old, Gail Renard joined John Lennon and Yoko Ono in their eight day long bed-in for peace in a hotel in Montreal, Canada. She helped control the fans and press, looked after Yoko's 5 year old daughter and joined in the first recording of "Give Peace a Chance" with Timothy Leary, Tommy Smothers, Petula Clark, Alan Ginsberg and many other 1960s cultural icons. John looked after her – sending her home every night to her mother who had spoken to him on the phone and insisted that there were to be no drugs, drink  or sex while her daughter was around.

It was John’s faith in Gail's ability which lead directly to her later success as a writer. He helped her to secure her first paid submission – an interview with him for the Beatles' magazine. It was the start of a friendship.

Read about how John gave Gail his original handwritten lyrics to "Give Peace A Chance" and everything which has happened since!

I have always considered myself to be The Beatles No.1 Fan. I grew up loving their music, they were the reason I learnt to play the guitar and their songs were the ones I always play to this day. I have to gracefully concede that after reading "Give Me A Chance", that accolade that I bestowed upon myself all those years ago, does in fact belong to the author Gail Renard.
